Improved embedded wideband speech codec fitting EV-VBR standard by XIN Jie, BAO Chang-chun, JIA Mao-shen, LIU Xin

“…Based on the International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector（ITU-T） recommendation for EV-VBR coding standard and the candidate codec designed by Speech and Audio Signal Processing Laboratory（SASPL） of Beijing University of Technology,an improved embedded variable bit rates wideband speech codec was proposed.In the improved codec,ACELP coding was implied to the first two coding layers.The middle sub-frame spectral parameters were computed and quantized.Three pulses depth first tree search algorithm was designed.On the higher three coding layers embedded TCX coding was reconstructed by accumulating frequency coefficients vectors.Addition-ally,VAD and DTX functions were implemented in the improved codec.Test results show that the improved codec achieves better speech quality and much lower coding complexity than the original codec.The speech quality and coding efficiency are comparable with G.718 of a new ITU-T speech coding standard and the low delay feature is retained.…”

Research and application of air-to-ground continuous coverage technology for air-space emergency communication system by Shengwei CHEN, Fan LI, Guangping YANG, Jian ZHOU, Yu SU

“…To solve the problem of small coverage area and discontinuous coverage of large fixed-wing aerospace emergency base stations, a design scheme for continuous coverage of UAV emergency base stations was proposed.Based on the analysis of the coverage capability of the single antenna of the airborne base station, a multi-antenna coverage scheme with inner antenna plus edge antenna was proposed.Taking the roll angle, pitch angle and other parameters of the UAV flight into consideration, the installation plan of multi-antenna mounting that guarantees continuous coverage was designed.Then the link budget was carried out according to the 3GPP propagation loss model, and the UAV flight plan was planned according to the continuous coverage area requirements.Simulation and flight test results show that the proposed scheme can achieve 50 km² continuous signal coverage of the ground by the mobile base station on the UAV without using the intelligent control of the antenna angle of the PTZ.…”

Model of cyberspace threat early warning based on cross-domain and collaboration by Gang XIONG, Yuwei GE, Yanjie CHU, Weiquan CAO

“…The development of network threat shows the characteristics of initiative,concealment and ubiquity.It poses a severe challenge to the passive,local and isolated traditional network defense mode.In view of the new trend of integration of big data，artificial intelligence and network security,a cross-domain collaborative network threat early warning model was proposed,which could enable and increase efficiency for cyberspace security.Firstly,starting from the overall structure of the protected network space,the model constructs a cross-domain function framework with the vertical and horizontal conjunction by dividing the security threat domain,decomposing the system function,designing the information sharing mechanism.Secondly,to enhance the ability of threat information detection,the collaborative technology architecture is designed by the logic of hierarchical management,and the key technologies involved in threat information perception,processing and application,are systematically introduced.Finally,with the help of application scenarios,qualitatively the capability increment of the proposed threat early warning model was described.…”
