Antenna azimuth diagnosis based on multi-layer perceptron model by Xiangrong CHEN

“…Antenna azimuth was seen as a key factor in the quality of mobile communications, and its accuracy will directly affect the quality of network optimization.An antenna azimuth diagnosis method was proposed based on multi-layer perceptron.The azimuth was divided into 12 interval classes, each class covered a range of 30°, that was,[0, 30°) was recorded as class 0, …,[330°, 360°) was recorded as class 11.The multi-layer perceptron algorithm was used to identify the range of the antenna azimuth angle and automatically identify the angle range of the antenna azimuth angle, which provided effective data support for the network optimization engineer to determine the actual network coverage problem, and greatly reduced workload and labor cost in verifying antenna performance.Experimental results show that the method can effectively and quickly discriminate the antenna azimuth interval class, and the recognition accuracy reaches 92.6%, which is higher than the classification accuracy of random forest and logistic regression classification algorithms.…”

Research of the Traction Control of Flexible Work Surface Belt Drive of Heavy Duty Construction Vehicle by Lou Jie

“…To reduce the energy consumption of heavy duty construction vehicle pollution,and improve the capacity of the complex conditions of the vehicle,the multi-metal complex with stepless transmission and front / rear axle torque distribution device in the traditional drive system are imported,a new mathematical model of heavy duty four-wheel heavy duty construction vehicle is established,finally,a four-wheel drive heavy duty construction vehicle traction integrated control strategy is obtained.The results show that large ratio change conditions required for the engine reaches maximum speed of the longest and highest speed reached a minimum;small ratio change conditions can achieve high speed,the speed curve more smooth and steady acceleration phase speed change under the conditions of large ratio rate change;after the introduction of traction control system,slip phenomenon can be well suppressed over a driving wheel,the drive wheel speed control range of the space in the target vehicle speed.…”
