Synthesis of shared aperture thinned interleaved arrays with elements in concentric rings by Zhigang GU, Longjun LI, Jikuan HU

“…Among planar array antennas, concentric ring array (CRA) antennas have received considerable interest since it is symmetric and provides invariant beam pattern for 360° azimuthal coverage.In case of limited antenna aperture, there is great value to thinned interleaved CRA with low peak side lobe levels and a narrow main beam.The application of the cubic interpolation and density-weighting method in shared aperture array design was demonstrated by the low peak side lobe level synthesis of CRA.By adopting the Fourier-Bessel transform the relationship between the element’s excitation and array pattern, thinned interleaved problems were formulated as time-frequency synthesis problems.On the basis of the density-weighting method, element excitations of interleaved sub-array were carefully selected in an odd-even manner, which ensured the pattern matching of the generated sub-array.The iterative FFT algo rithm was adopted to thin the concentric ring array.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve a favorable thinned and interleaved concentric ring array design with matched power patterns and low peak sidelobe levels.The problem of thinned and interleaved concentric ring arrays is solved, and the design of multi-function shared aperture thinned interleaved arrays with elements in concentric rings is realized.…”

Optimal transmission strategy of diamond channel with limited battery capacity of source node by Taoshen LI, Li SUN, Zhe WANG

“…In order to solve the problem that the energy harvesting uncertainty of node in wireless energy harvesting network makes it difficult for the system to design a reasonable transmission strategy, a diamond channel with limited battery capacity of the source node were constructed.The goal was to maximize the end-to-end throughput of the system.Under the conditions of meeting the constraints of energy and data causality between transmission nodes and no battery energy overflow, a model to maximize the end-to-end throughput of the system was built, and an optimal offline transmission power and rate allocation strategy was proposed.Firstly, based on theoretical analysis and formula derivation, the strategy transformed the optimal transmission problem into the optimal transmission problem on the side of the broadcast channel, and used the water-filling algorithm to solve the optimal total power from the source node to the relay node.Then, the throughput of the source node to each relay node was analyzed based on the cutoff power level in the broadcast channel throughput maximization problem.Finally, according to the data arrival of the relay node, the iterative water-filling method was used to solve the optimal transmission power from the relay node to the destination node, and the optimal rate was solved by extending the optimal rate of the multiple access channel.Simulation results demonstrate the feasibility and correctness of the proposed optimization policies.…”

Signal Control Strategy for Supersaturated Traffic at Urban Road Intersections with a Large Technical Grade Gap by Baiqun Ding, Liu Yang, He Xu, Yongming He

“…To reduce the risk of queuing overflow on the urban minor road at the intersection under supersaturation where the capacity of the arterial and minor roads shows extreme disparity, reduce the adverse effects caused by long queues of vehicles on the minor road, and comprehensively balance the multiobjective requirements such as priority of the main road, queuing restrictions, and delay on the minor road, the minor road queue model at the end of red, a road remaining capacity model, and multiparameter coordinated signal control model were established, and a multiobjective genetic algorithm was used to optimize this solution. As an example, the multiparameter coordinated control strategy decreased the delay per vehicle by approximately 17% and the queue length by approximately 30%–50% on the minor road and slightly increased the delay per vehicle at the intersection and the length on the main road queue. …”

Construction of advanced persistent threat attack detection model based on provenance graph and attention mechanism by Yuancheng LI, Hao LUO, Xinyu WANG, Jiexuan YUAN

“…In response to the difficulty of existing attack detection methods in dealing with advanced persistent threat (APT) with longer durations, complex and covert attack methods, a model for APT attack detection based on attention mechanisms and provenance graphs was proposed.Firstly, provenance graphs that described system behavior based on system audit logs were constructed.Then, an optimization algorithm was designed to reduce the scale of provenance graphs without sacrificing key semantics.Afterward, a deep neural network (DNN) was utilized to convert the original attack sequence into a semantically enhanced feature vector sequence.Finally, an APT attack detection model named DAGCN was designed.An attention mechanism was applied to the traceback graph sequence.By allocating different weights to different positions in the input sequence and performing weight calculations, sequence feature information of sustained attacks could be extracted over a longer period of time, which effectively identified malicious nodes and reconstructs the attack process.The proposed model outperforms existing models in terms of recognition accuracy and other metrics.Experimental results on public APT attack datasets show that, compared with existing APT attack detection models, the accuracy of the proposed model in APT attack detection reaches 93.18%.…”
