Scheme and experiment of fast frequency hopping communication system based on SDR by Chengyu WEN, Conghui LIAO, Hang XIONG, Hong DU

“…A fast frequency hopping scheme based on SDR was proposed to solve the problem that the existing fast frequency hopping communication system relied on satellite timing.Firstly, a true random sequence was used to perform frequency hopping operation on the modulated signal in this scheme.And the frequency hopping table was obtained by channel down-conversion, low-pass filtering and amplitude peak detection operations.Secondly, the receiver searched for the precise starting point by the peak-to-peak distribution characteristics of the quadrature demodulation amplitude of the baseband signal after de-hopping.Finally, down-conversion was performed and the peak-to-peak amplitude of the quadrature demodulation was checked for exceeding the threshold value to achieve de-hopping for frequency hopping signals.The effectiveness and adaptability of the proposed scheme is verified by using two general-purpose SDR devices with a hopping rate of four hops per symbol period in a real channel with other continuous signals.…”

Auster’s autobiographical ‘you’ in Report From the Interior: multi-faceted (inter)subjectivities by Sandrine SORLIN

“…Sliding between different potential referents as is the case in traditional “you novels,” the pronoun is always on the verge on merging into the first or third person pronoun, while assuming its addressivity at all times. Dislodging the ‘I’ from its egocentric position, it also enables different intersubjective frames to co-exist, in keeping with Auster’s conception of life-writing as inevitably fragmented and non-linear. …”

Survey of high-precision localization and the prospect of future evolution by Huiqiang WANG, Kaixuan GAO, Hongwu LYU

“…Nowadays, high-precision indoor positioning service has witnessed an increasing interest because it has become the key support of many 5G major application scenarios, and the implementation technologies and mechanisms are continuously updated with advantages, disadvantages and specificities.Therefore, a timely and systematic summary of indoor-positioning was made, and that of prospects for where this domain was heading.Firstly, based on the analysis of the existing papers, summarization of this domain was proposed from two aspects, such as positioning-techniques and positioning-methods.Secondly, a classification model was put forward based on the positioning scenarios and the “hidden requirements” included were pointed out.Then, the evaluation indices system of positioning-systems was proposed and some of the existing high-accuracy positioning system was evaluated by it.Finally, the direction of evolution about high-precision indoor positioning domain was summarized, the development trend of integrated network was pointed out, and some important concepts, such as “online is inplace”, were proposed.…”

Fault analysis on elliptic curve cryptosystems with sliding window method by Jin-zhong ZHANG, Ying-zhan KOU, Tao WANG, Shi-ze GUO, Xin-jie ZHAO

“…Based on the principle of sign change fault attacks,an improved fault analysis method was presented against elliptic curve cryptosystems with sliding window method for point multiplication.When faults on double instruction it could effectively solve the “zero block failure” problem.Experiment results demonstrate that 15 times fault injections are enough to recover full 192bit key.When faults on add instruction,a new fault analysis method was proposed.Experiment results demonstrate one fault injection can reduce searching space 2⁷~2¹⁵.The method presented here can provide some ideas for fault attack on other cryptosystems using sliding window method.…”

Fault analysis and research of wireless sensor network based on kernel partial least squares by Guang-hai ZHOU, Zhao-long NING, Zhi-kui CHEN, Hua ZHONG, Yue-ming HU

“…With the development of intelligent and networked sensor technology,wireless sensor networks were widely used in human life and commercial fields,because wireless sensor network nodes usually only carry limited resources,it is prone to failures due to insufficient resources,the accurate and timely fault diagnosis of WSN nodes can ensure the reliability of information,thus improving the maintainability of WSN and prolonging the service life of WSN.A method of using kernel partial least squares has been proposed to predict the fault reasons,the method overcomes the defects of traditional linear regression method and the nonlinear high dimensional space for data analysis.Through many experiments,the method can absorb the characteristics of canonical correlation analysis and principal component analysis method,provide a more thorough and rich content analysi,that the reason of the fault can be predicted effectively.…”

Electromagnetic signal fast adversarial attack method based on Jacobian saliency map by Jian ZHANG, Xia ZHOU, Yiran ZHANG, Zicong WANG

“…In order to generate high-quality electromagnetic signal countermeasure examples, a fast Jacobian saliency map attack (FJSMA) method was proposed.The Jacobian matrix of the attack target class was calculated and feature saliency maps based on the matrix were generated, then the most salient feature points were iteratively selected and perturbations in their neighborhood were continuously added while introducing a single point perturbation constraint, finally adversarial examples were generated.Experimental results show that, compared with Jacobian saliency map attack method, FJSMA improves the generation speed by about 10 times while maintaining the same high attack success rate, and improves the similarity by more than 11%, and compared with other gradient-based methods, the attack success rate is improved by more than 20%, and the similarity is improved by 20% to 30%.…”
