Iterative estimation method for random interleaver of Turbo codes by Jun LIU, Jing LI, Pei-dong YU

“…Channel coding parameter analysis meant reversely analyzing and estimating the coding parameters,and was one of the key techniques for intelligent communication,information interception and so on.Since Turbo codes were widely used in communication systems,parameter estimation for their interleavers was of great importance.Focusing on the random interleaver of Turbo codes,an iterative estimation algorithm based on correlation decision between the soft outputs of the Turbo decoder was presented.The algorithm used soft-decisions of the demodulator output sequence.It overcame the shortcomings of existing methods which often aimed at certain interleaving structures only,and suffered from weak robustness since they used hard-decisions.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance and relatively lower complexity,especially in low signal-to-noise ratio cases.…”

Research and practice of PON fault intelligent detection and recovery technology by Qi YU, Yanbin SHI, Shipeng QIU

“…Based on current situation that PON network faults are mainly processed around the user account password and terminal problems,and all the complex phenomena and network issues involved are sent to the operation and maintenance department,leading to low failure processing efficiency and high treatment pressure,an end-to-end fault diagnosis and repair method was proposed based on the customer resource tree.Through adopting big data analysis technology and service capability opening technology,an end-to-end fault detection system from service platform to client terminals was built and fault phenomena,conclusions and treatment methods of the nodes in the resource tree were combed,and fault processing scenarios were listed to verify the accuracy of fault detection and fast recovery.The result shows that the failure interception efficiency is improved by 34%.…”

Blind recognition of RSC based on logarithmic conformity by Zhaogen ZHONG, Zhaojun WU, Limin ZHANG, Zhiqing WANG

“…A new algorithm based on logarithmic conformity was proposed.Firstly,based on the probability of total RSC coding equation,the concept of logarithmic coincidence degree,which could measure the establishment of coding equation,was introduced.Then because of constraint length of RSC,the polynomial database could be generated,and then logarithmic conformity of every polynomial could be calculated when traversing the database.As the results,the RSC could be recognized,because the correct polynomial could make the conformity maximum.The algorithm has small amount of calculation because of finite traversal,which was only related to amount of intercepted data,besides,this algorithm has good error tolerance by soft decisions.The simulation results show that the correct ratio of recognition can reach 90% at SNR of 0 dB and its performances are obviously superior to those of existing algorithms.…”

Effect of Osmotic Pressure on Migration Behavior of nZnO in GCLs by Ping Yang, Tao Jiang, Youlong Zhang, Zhicheng Li

“…The results showed that, with an increase of osmotic pressure, the retention rate of nZnO increased greatly, the particle size increased, the stability of the soliquoid declined, GCLs pores were compressed, the infiltration coefficient of GCLs reduced, and the interception effect of GCLs on nZnO particles strengthened. …”

A bidirectional authentication protocol for RFID based on Syn by Shanhua ZHAN, Shaorong HUANG

“…The RFID system is made up of three parts:tags,readers and databases.The information between tags and readers are transmitted through wireless channel,which is easy to be intercepted by attackers.A two-way authentication protocol based on word Synthesis operation was proposed.The two remainder theorem was used to encrypt communication messages by the proposed protocol,the difficulty of cracking was increased; In the process of each round of communication encryption,a random number was added to make the communication messages inconsistent,so that the tracking attacks could not be initiated by attackers.In the communication message encryption,the word synthesis algorithms was adopted at the same time,the total calculation of the system could be effectively reduced.A random checking mechanism was introduced at the database,enabling a synchronous attack and other attacks to be effectively resisted by the system.Security analysis shows that the protocol has high security,and performance analysis shows that the protocol has the standard of lightweight computation.…”
