Blind recognition of STBC-OFDM signals based on modified K-S test by Qing LING, Li-min ZHANG, Wen-jun YAN

“…Aiming at the problem that existed blind classification of STBC-OFDM in multiple input single output (MISO) communication system,an efficient method for blind classification of space-time block coded orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (STBC-OFDM) signals based on modified Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) test was proposed,when a single receiver antenna was employed at the receiver.Firstly,the model of received STBC-OFDM signals in MISO systems was given.Secondly,with the correlation of the coding matrix of STBC-OFDM signals,and the discrimination features function provided by the empirical cumulative distribution (CDFs) of the received OFDM blocks was constructed.Finally,the distance between CDFs was tested by the two-sample K-S test,which could blindly classify the STBC-OFDM signals.The proposed algorithm didn't need the estimation of channel,noise statistics and modulation type,and consequently,was well suited for non-cooperative communication context.Theoretical analysis and experimental verify its validity.…”

The Extended Trial Equation Method for Some Time Fractional Differential Equations by Yusuf Pandir, Yusuf Gurefe, Emine Misirli

“…For illustrating the reliability of this approach, we apply it to the generalized third order fractional KdV equation and the fractional Kn,n equation according to the complete discrimination system for polynomial method. As a result, some new exact solutions to these nonlinear problems are successfully constructed such as elliptic integral function solutions, Jacobi elliptic function solutions, and soliton solutions.…”

Research on the big data planning model of mobile wireless network by Yu CHEN, Xiaodong CHEN, Yue LIU

“…With the development of big data technology in recent years,various industries have strengthened their research and application in their professional field.For the wireless network planning specialty of mobile operators,it will effectively improve the accuracy and automation level of network planning by combining the market,network,terminal,base station,planning and other data sources owned by enterprises.For the existing large data planning platforms,there are generally problems that do not fully consider the discrimination of scenario or regional types,which have a certain impact on the planning results.Firstly,the data sources,processing application architecture and implementation method which the large data planning model of mobile wireless network needed were analyzed.Then,the standards,algorithms and parameter settings of the three coverage planning models of surface,line and point were studied after the key steps and model analysis of the big data planning in mobile wireless network.Finally,some ideas and suggestions were put forward for the construction and application of the big data planning model in mobile wireless network.…”

FAULT DIAGNOSIS BASED ON SEMI-SUPERVISED ORTHOGONAL NEIGHBORHOOD ADAPTIVE LOCALITY PRESERVING PROJECTIONS by YANG Le

“…Aiming at the problem that accuracy of orthogonal locality preserving projections（OLPP） for fault diagnosis is not high enough,a fault diagnosis method based on semi-supervised neighborhood adaptive orthogonal locality preserving projections（SSNA-OLPP） for dimension reduction is proposed.In this method,fault features that can represent the fault state is firstly constructed based on local characteristic-scale decomposition（LCD） and time-frequency domain feature.And then,the SSNA-OLPP is used to compress the high-dimension feature into low-dimension feature which has better discrimination.Finally,the low-dimension feature are input support vector machine（SVM） to identification fault.SSNA-OLPP can adaptive adjust the neighborhood with the guidance of local cluster coefficient,at the same time,information of some labeled samples are also used to adjust the weight matrix among all samples in the original characteristic space,as a result,better fault diagnosis accuracy can achieved.The experiment results of rolling bearing fault diagnosis verified the effectiveness of the method.…”
