A novel receiver for uplink SCMA system by Hongyang ZHANG, Changliang ZHENG, Genfu SHAO, Huaping LIU

“…Sparse code multiple access (SCMA) is a type of code domain non-orthogonal multiple access technology,which is regarded as a promising multiple access technology for 5G due to its excellent performance.The uplink SCMA system generally uses a message passing algorithm (MPA) in the receiver.The priori information can be inaccurated to cause an increased detection error.A novel receiver for the uplink SCMA system,called ring-MPA (R-MPA) receiver,was proposed to solve this problem,by using a joint detection process.The proposed R-MPA receiver was compared with the log-MPA receiver and the classic MPA receiver,two state-of-the-art existing schemes.Both theoretical analysis and computer simulation results show that the proposed receiver not only has a superior error performance,but also has a lower implementation complexity than these existing schemes.…”

Research on POI quality prediction based on KPCA-GA-BP neural network by Lu LIU, Dan YANG, Ruijie CHEN, Jia LI, Xi ZHOU

“…At present, in network optimization, network quality evaluation and prediction are generally based on communities, and a flexible evaluation system for POI network quality was proposed following the research idea of “research on dimensionality increase and implementation of dimensionality reduction”.However, it involves many network KPI, resulting in a relatively complex evaluation system for POI network comprehensive quality and low prediction accuracy.In order to improve the prediction accuracy of POI network quality, KPCA was used to compress the correlation of input variables of BP neural network, the structure of BP neural network was simplified, and then the connection weights and threshold parameters of BP neural network were optimized through GA.Compared with the prediction results of traditional BP neural network, the prediction accuracy is improved by 10.9%, and the mean square error performance is significantly reduced, it can play a better supporting role in the prediction of POI network quality.…”
