Technical perspective and simulation platform for 5G integrated communication and high precision localization by Xinghua JIA, Peng LIU, Wangdong QI, Shengheng LIU, Yongming HUANG, Jialu LI, Jia XU

“…Providing integrated communication and positioning services for smart terminals using widely deployed 5G infrastructure has been a promising way during the 5G standard evolution.Especially in an indoor scenario where the global navigation satellite system fails, high-accuracy localization services can be provided based on the 5G infrastructure, and thus, 5G integrated communication and localization will enable much vertical industry applications.However, there still exist many technical challenges for providing sub-meter-level 5G localization in practical applications.In addition, there is no unified testbed or platform to support the development of 5G localization.Firstly, the challenges that 5G positioning methods face in achieving indoor sub-meter accuracy were analyzed.Then the design of 5G positioning simulator focusing on 5G classical scenarios was introduced.Numerical results show that the uplink-angle-of-arrival-based approach can achieve sub-meter localization accuracy.Finally, the industrialization prospects of 5G indoor high-accuracy positioning technology were proposed.…”

From Teleology to Backward Causation: How Do They Contribute to Our Understanding of the Nature of Concepts? by Marcin Poręba

“…The author distinguishes several meanings of teleology and shows that their dialectics reveal their dependence on the concept of backward causation. The classical approach to backward causation, due famously to Michael Dummett, according to which it is a relation between items such as macroscopic things, events, actions, and so on, is rejected in favor of the view that future causes should be conceptualized in probabilistic terms. …”

Quantum public-key encryption protocol based on single-photon by Wen-jun LUO, Guan-li LIU

“…A quantum public-key encryption protocol based on single-photon was provided.Pseudo random sequence mapping to private keys to implement corresponding quantum operations and then obtaining quantum public-key to encode the plaintext was used.Employ the method of block classification to lower the requirement for storage capacity of the sender.A new quantum source as transmission carrier was introduced and simply encoding and decoding rules were designed based on the laws of quantum non-cloning and ciphertext indistinguishability.On the other hand,classical one-time pad technique is used to ensure the security of quantum key and plaintext in the transmission channel.At the same time,select different updating strategy of quantum public-key according to the results of error detection which can significantly reduce key consumption.Compared with the previous quantum public-key encryption based on entangled states and single-photon,there are no entangled states and decoyed particles are needed,so it is not only efficient to reduce the overhead of communication traffic between legitimate users,but also easier to carry out in practice.The analysis shows that the proposed scheme is secure.…”

Naître vers la fin : circularités dans Alumbramiento de Víctor Erice by Miguel Rodrigo

“…In a filmography where the narrative is often greatly weakened in favour of a direct representation of time, Alumbramiento is an exception : here the narrative, acting like a veritable explosion engine, by virtue of its force relegates time to its classic status as a measure of movement. While the attachment to a certain cinema of contemplation is always present in the shots that can be described as descriptive, the main thrust of Alumbramiento is an arrow that unstoppably spans the distance between the beginning of the film and its end. …”

Surface operators and exact holography by Changha Choi, Jaume Gomis, Raquel Izquierdo García

“…Abstract Surface operators are nonlocal probes of gauge theories capable of distinguishing phases that are not discernible by the classic Wilson-’t Hooft criterion. We prove that the correlation function of a surface operator with a chiral primary operator in N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 super Yang-Mills is a finite polynomial in the Yang-Mills coupling constant. …”
