Compressive narrowband interference detection and parameter estimation in direct sequence spread spectrum communication by Zengkai Shi, Yongshun Zhang, Zhaoyong Qian, Xiaoshuang Sun, Xiangtai Ma

“…Abstract The Shannon‐Nyquist sampling theorem that is based on narrowband interference (NBI) detection and parameter estimation methods in direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) communication is limited by the high sampling rate. Compressive sensing (CS) is adopted to address the problem. But it will change the signal nature, which leads to the unavailability of Shannon‐Nyquist sampling theorem‐based interference detection and parameter estimation methods. …”

Longitudinally spaced observations of a magnetic-cloud-like structure embedded in a co-rotating interaction region by M. L. Maunder, C. Foullon, R. Forsyth, D. Barnes, J. A. Davies

“…<p>Interaction mechanisms in the solar wind affect the evolution of magnetic structures, thereby mediating the properties acquired during their formation processes at the Sun as they propagate outward. Using remote-sensing and in situ observations across multiple spacecraft we investigate a magnetic-cloud-like structure (MCL) detected in situ on 3–4 July 2007 near the ecliptic plane at different longitudes with OMNI, STEREO-A and STEREO-B. …”

Mobility-assisted big data collecting in wireless sensor networks by Jinghua Zhu, Xuming Yin, Jingsi Bai, Yake Wang

“…Although this method can reduce the volume of data transfer between sensor nodes and thus save energy consumption of nodes, the low speed of mobile sink hinders its use in data-intensive sensing applications with time constraint. In this article, we propose a four-phase mobility-assisted data collecting protocol consisting of network clustering, routes planning, routes combination, and data collecting. …”
