Multiple targets localization via compressive sensing from mere connectivity by Lei LIU, Jian-jun ZHANG, Yang LU, Xing WEI, Jiang-hong HAN

“…A multiple targets localization method was proposed from mere connectivity,and the multiple targets posi-tioning problem was converted to sparse vector resolving by compressive sensing theory,which was applied to the indoor localization of intensive references distribution.The connectivity to the references was collected as the only measurement data,and targets locations were figured out by minimum l₁-norm algorithm.When measurement data was compressed tol 1 bit,the fixed point iteration algorithm combined with semi-definite relax was proposed to figure out targets locations.As for the simulation results,compared with MDS-MAP,DV-Hop and RSS-CS algorithms,the average location error is less than 1 grid by the mere connectivity of N -bit and 1-bit quantization CS localization,of which the occupied bit quan-tity are reduced to less than 4 times and 16 times of RSS localization observation value respectively.…”

Shipwreck Architecture by Simon Weir, Sara Rich

“…This trajectory of ideas is then projected into a creative project: a speculative history of shipwreck architecture where the cutting edge of biological research is projected into a technological future when the distant aims of today’s technology are ancient history: when the first generations of grown buildings are preserved as ruins, when giant decommissioned carbon-capture factories drift like ghost ships across lakes of their inky waste, when people remember when shipwrecks caused by the hazards of rising sea levels were later exposed by sinking sea levels and converted into hotels and theatres, and finally, when these theatrical memories provoke such nostalgia that shipwreck architecture would be replicated and fabricated. …”

Research on Energy Saving Algorithm of 5G Relay Cellular Network by Yangbo Guo, Zhizhong Zhang, Haonan Hu, Fang Cheng

“…The energy saving issue of 5G relay cellular network was discussed.Relay technology is an important technology in the fifth generation mobile communication network（5G）.By switching some base stations with low traffic into sleep mode,the energy can be saved.Therefore,the state of base stations in 5G may convert usually,the network topology and business changed over time.Considering both quality of service（QoS）and power consumption of the whole network,a dynamic energy saving（DES）algorithm was proposed to optimize the overall performance of QoS and energy efficiency for 5G relay cellular network.Simulation results under different traffic conditions demonstrate that the DES algorithm can reconfigure the network,shut down part of the base station and relay nodes to significantly reduce energy consumption,especially when the network load is low.…”

Joint vibrotactile coding for machine recognition and human perception by Ying FANG, Yiwen XU, Tiesong ZHAO

“…In order to accurately transmit the content meaning of vibrotactile signals and achieve intelligent recognition and signal reconstruction, a joint vibrotactile coding scheme for machine recognition and human perception was proposed.At the encoding end, the original three-dimensional vibrotactile signals were converted into one-dimensional signals.Then the semantic information of the signals was extracted using a short-time Fourier transform before being effectively compressed and transmitted.At the decoding end, a fully convolutional neural network was used to intelligently recognize based on the semantic information.The difference between the original signals and the reconstructed signals based on semantic information was used as compensation for the semantic information, and the quality of the reconstructed signals was gradually improved to meet human perceptual needs.The experimental results show that the proposed scheme achieve tactile recognition with semantic information at a lower bit rate while improving the compression efficiency of tactile data, thus satisfying human perceptual needs.…”

SCMA codebook design based on resource block constellation by Xiaotao SHAO, Mingkun GUO, Wei YANG

“…Aiming at the problems of typical sparse code multiple access codebook design scheme based on multidimensional mother constellation that the complexity is high and the minimum Euclidean distance between constellation points on resource blocks is difficult to determine,a SCMA codebook design scheme based on resource block constellation was proposed.By converting the design of multidimensional mother constellation into the design of two-dimensional resource block constellation,the design complexity of constellation was reduced.And the codebook design scheme starting from resource block constellation could maximize the minimum Euclidean distance between constellation points on resource blocks,which was better than the design method in which user codebooks were obtained from multi-dimensional mother constellation.Simulation results show that the proposed SCMA codebook design scheme based on resource block constellation can significantly improve the BER performance of system compared with the typical codebook design scheme based on multidimensional mother constellation.…”

“…The types and pollution status of mycotoxins in different fermented condiments vary both domestically and internationally, which can be attributed to the disparities in raw materials, geographical locations, seasons, and other factors. Microorganisms can convert mycotoxins into low-toxicity or non-toxic substances through the adsorption of cell walls or enzymatic catalysis, thus ensuring the safety of fermented condiments for consumption. …”
