Construction scheme analysis of computing force network by Lili WANG

“…The government puts forward higher requirements for the deployment of computing force network (CFN), so the telecom operators accelerate the implementation of computing network integration.Aiming to solve the problems of computing and network coordination and scheduling, based on the study of standards related to CFN, the research progress of CFN was summarized, the business requirements of CFN were analyzed, combined with the current reality of telecom operators, the deployment scheme of sustainable construction of CFN was put forward, which concerned with computing power reserve, transmission network, network routing and intelligent scheduling, it provides a reference for the early stage of CFN construction.…”

New correlative algorithm and its fast implementation for the acquisition of Y-code without the use of W-code by Zhu WANG

“…GPS military positioning system uses P/Y-code to capture signals and then go through tracking and navigation solution.The feasibility research on the acquisition of Y-code was given without the use of W-code.First the basis of the acquisition method was presented.Then,comparison with the standard correlative algorithm the simulation of the algorithm was given to show the characteristics of the new algorithm.At last a segment FFT-based fast implementation of the algorithm was proposed.The correctness of the fast implementation method was proved and Matlab was used to compare the fast implementation with the basic algorithm to show the high efficiency of the former method.…”
