User signal recovery based on channel matrix division by GUO Bin, BAI Xue-mei, F.Mohammed

“…Multi-user MIMO-OFDM channel dispersion effects can be considered as a set of instantaneous mixtures from the viewpoint of frequency bin（FB）.Upon the arrival of a new user,the new interferences will be introduced,resulting in an expanding channel matrix structure.The expanded matrix contains known and unknown information,a blind separa-tion structure containing two parts which correspond the two types of information.To select a blind separation method,a proposed method uses the correlation between the signals to derive a new structure of the mixing matrix.Then the signals from different users at each FB are separated using the known channel information,thus the uncertainty of blind separa-tion is corrected.The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated by computer simulations.…”

Software patch comparison technology through semantic analysis on function by Yan CAO, Long LIU, Yu WANG, Qingxian WANG

“…Patch comparison provides support for software vulnerability,and structural comparison has been developed.Based on summarizing binary files comparison and anti-comparison methods,comparison technology was proposed by semantic analysis on function to address the issue that structural comparison cannot carry on semantic analysis.Through traditional structural comparison,syntax differences in function-level were analyzed to find the maximum common subgraph.Then,the path cluster was built between the input and output of the function depend on program dependency analysis.Function output characteristics was established based on symbolic execution.Semantic differences of functions were compared by functional summaries.Based on the maximum isomorphic subgraph,the matched functions which there are possible semantic changes between was further analyzed.Ultimately,the experimental results showed the feasibility and advantages of the proposed method.…”

Study on Local Scour of Suction Bucket Foundations at Offshore Wind Farms in Shapa of Yangjiang by REN Hao, LIU Bo, LIU Xiaojian, GUO Huiqun, CHEN Chen

“…A normal physical model is built to study the local scour of suction bucket foundations at offshore wind farms in Shapa of Yangjiang.The results indicate that the maximum scour depth of bucket foundations under the combined action of waves and currents is greater than that under pure currents and pure waves.Under the combined action of waves and currents,the maximum scour depth appears on the side facing water and both sides of the suction bucket with slight silt on the land side,and the scoured bedform is triangular.As the scour of suction bucket foundations is mainly affected by the flow around the unearthed bucket body and bucket top's rib plates,the dredging of the bed surface before the structure is embedded can make the structure more stable,and the structure stability grows with the increase in the dredging depth.…”
