Prevention and Detection Research of Intelligent Sports Rehabilitation under the Background of Artificial Intelligence by Qiong Huang, Fubin Wang

“…In this paper, a double closed-loop control system is designed: the outer loop is an adaptive impedance control model based on sEMG feedback, and the purpose is to adjust the predicted desired joint trajectories. In the inner loop, a sliding mode iterative learning controller is designed to suppress periodic disturbance and abnormal jitter and achieve stable tracking of the target trajectory. …”

SVD-Aided Beamforming and Power Allocation Algorithm for Multiuser Turbo-BLAST System Uplink with Imperfect CSI by Xiaomin Chen, Xiangbin Yu, Dazhuan Xu

“…At the transmitter, the beamforming and power allocation schemes are developed to maximize the capacity of the desired user. At the receiver, a suboptimal decorrelating scheme is first proposed to mitigate the multiuser interference (MUI) and decouple the detection of different users with imperfect CSI, and then the iterative detecting algorithm that takes the channel estimation error into account is designed to cancel the coantenna interference (CAI) and enhance the bit error rate (BER) results further. …”
