New type of hot spot cluster centered positioning algorithm and its application by Shao-wu ZHOU, Bo-wei HUANG, Zhao-fu ZENG, Ming-hui ZHOU, Jie ZHAN

“…Considering the facts that the personnel orientation in the coal mine was difficult,and the existing algorithm is of high fixed position error,a new algorithm of hot spot cluster centered positioning for terrain underground in the coal mine was designed.The locations of moving nodes in po ion area were classified by using the RSSI,and the blind spots problems of positioning,which was not explained by the locating method mentioned in the existing literatures,was solved efficiently by means of new algorithm.Besides,the algorithm improved the real time performance and the accuracy of positioning.The validity of new algorithm was verified by the result of numerical simulation and experiment.…”

Group-scheduling mechanism for large-scale time-sensitive network by Xuesong QIU, Xuchuan HUANG, Wencui LI, Wenjing LI, Shaoyong GUO

“…In order to achieve the deterministic delay of time-triggered traffic in a large-scale time-sensitive network,a kind of group-scheduling mechanism was proposed.By designing a topology pruning strategy and a flow grouping strategy based on spectral clustering,the impact of the rapid increase in network topology scale and traffic scale on the speed of scheduling response was avoided,and the scheduling calculation efficiency was improved.The results of experiment show that the mechanism can solve the model in a relatively short time for large-scale scheduling problem and achieve a relatively high scheduling success rate.…”

Evolving multicast tree based artificial fish swarm algorithm by Xuan MA, Qing LIU

“…An artificial fish swarm algorithm with two regions model was proposed.The algorithm used a multicast tree formed by the predecessor orientation method to represent an artificial fish,and divided the search space into feasible re-gion and infeasible region.The artificial fishes in the feasible region and the infeasible region were given different mov-ing objectives,respectively.The behavior operator was designed to adaptively implement four behaviors of artificial fish.Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively make use of the infeasible individuals and per-forms better in searching least-cost multicast tree with delay constraint.…”

Performance study on a novel VBLAST modulation scheme under SUC detection by JIANG Zhan-jun, PAN Wen, WANG Yan, YOU Xiao-hu

“…A new modulation scheme was proposed to deal with the error propagation（EP） existing during the successive cancellation（SUC） detection in the VBLAST（vertical Bell labs layered space-time） system.In the scheme,the former demodulated signal was designed to use the modulation with better noise suppression performance（e.g.binary phase shift keying modulation）,and the latter demodulated signal was suggested to employ the modulation with higher frequency ef-ficiency（e.g.multi-decimal modulations）.Analysis and simulation results show that system reliability for SUC detection is improved without penalty to the system availability.…”

New low-earth orbit satellites authentication and group key agreement protocol by Zijian ZHANG, Qi ZHOU, Chuan ZHANG, Xiaoyao TONG, Chunlei LI, Long WANG

“…Due to the function of communication and continuous monitoring,the low-earth orbit satellites are widely used in the aerospace field.However,there is no special authentication protocol in the existing satellite communication system.In order to solve this problem,a lightweight authentication protocol which considering the switch of communication path in the authentication process was designed for the low-earth orbit satellites,and the proposed protocol was verified by simulation and compared with the 3GPP AKA protocol.The simulation results show that the protocol has a 20% higher efficiency than 3GPP AKA protocol,and the spend of group key agreement protocol is about 300 ms.…”
