Scheme and experiment of fast frequency hopping communication system based on SDR by Chengyu WEN, Conghui LIAO, Hang XIONG, Hong DU

“…A fast frequency hopping scheme based on SDR was proposed to solve the problem that the existing fast frequency hopping communication system relied on satellite timing.Firstly, a true random sequence was used to perform frequency hopping operation on the modulated signal in this scheme.And the frequency hopping table was obtained by channel down-conversion, low-pass filtering and amplitude peak detection operations.Secondly, the receiver searched for the precise starting point by the peak-to-peak distribution characteristics of the quadrature demodulation amplitude of the baseband signal after de-hopping.Finally, down-conversion was performed and the peak-to-peak amplitude of the quadrature demodulation was checked for exceeding the threshold value to achieve de-hopping for frequency hopping signals.The effectiveness and adaptability of the proposed scheme is verified by using two general-purpose SDR devices with a hopping rate of four hops per symbol period in a real channel with other continuous signals.…”

Channel estimation for OFDM system based on deep learning by Yun ZHANG, Jing ZHOU, Jingwei HUANG, Shujuan YU, Liya HUANG

“…An efficient channel estimation model based on deep learning was proposed for the problems of inter-carrier interference and inter-symbol interference in 5G system signal reception.The estimated channels were obtained through a preliminary estimation at the pilots.And they were treated as low resolution images containing noise, which were input into the channel estimation model.By learning the mapping relationship between the low resolution images and the high resolution images, the noise in input channels was removed, and the high-resolution channel images were restored to obtain the entire channel state information eventually.The simulation results show that the model not only continues the advantages of traditional attention mechanisms in suppressing redundant information, reduces computational overhead, but also achieves good accuracy and robustness, and has good estimation performance for various channels.…”

“…After the Louisiana Purchase (1803), the place d’Armes, becoming Jackson Square in the name of the general who had defeated the British army, acquired the status of a national symbol in a rapidly growing town. Today (at least before Katrina...), are the "Vieux Carré" and Jackson Square itself, nothing but the image of a city, a frozen area in a touristy and gentrified historical landmark?…”

Low complexity decoder over time-selective fading channels by ZHANG Bi-jun, ZHU Guang-xi, SUN Jun, LIU Wen-ming

“…A low complexity decoder was presented applicable to time-selective fading channels based on the existed group layered space-time （GLST） architecture. The intra symbol interferences within the all groups were firstly sup-pressed in virtue of the construction of orthogonal matrices and then obtained the all groups’ transmitted symbols based on the group detection technique using the simplified matrix inverse algorithm. …”

Differential spatial modulation scheme based on orthogonal space-time block coded by Zhi-cheng WANG, Zhi-gang CHEN, Lei WANG

“…Focusing on the problem that differential spatial modulation (DSM) couldn’t obtain transmit diversity and has high decoding complexity,a new differential spatial modulation scheme based on the orthogonal space-time block code was proposed and the proposed scheme is called OSTBC-DSM.There were two matrices in this scheme:the spatial modulation matrix and the symbol matrix.The former was aimed to activate different transmit antennas by setting the position of nonzero elements,and the latter structured symbolic matrix by using orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBC) as the basic code block.The proposed scheme could obtain full transmit diversity and higher spectral efficiency compared with the conventional DSM schemes.Moreover,the OSTBC-DSM supported linear maximum likelihood (ML) decoding.The simulation results show that under different spectral efficiencies,the proposed OSTBC-DSM scheme has better bit error rate (BER) performance than other schemes.…”

Confidential communications technique based on message block precoder in multi-user MIMO systems by Yao ZHU, Yi-jun ZHU, Shui-lian ZHANG, Yong-gang LIU

“…For confidential communications in a multi-user MIMO wiretap channel,though no information regarding the illegitimate receiver was presumed at the transmitter,an artificial interference and a precoding technique based on message block were proposed.Except for confidentiality,the effectivity and efficiency of confidential communications were also taken into consideration.The artificial interference selectively degraded the passive illegitimate receiver’ signal while did not effect every legitimate receiver.The precoding technique combined the existed zero-forcing method that used to eliminate the multi-user interference with singular value decomposition (SVD)-based linear precoder so that enhances the efficiency of confidential communications.ulation result shows that this precoding method degrades the illegitimate receiver’ signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) even more and enhances the capacity of multi-user MIMO system compared with the precoding method based on single message symbol.…”

Anti-frequency-offset algorithm on single-channel blind separation of burst GMSK mixed signals by Can-hui LIAO, Shi-long TU, Jian WAN

“…A per-survivor processing (PSP) based anti-frequency-offset algorithm was proposed for single-channel blind separation of burst GMSK mixed signals.The algorithm traces the phase changes caused by frequency offset and channel changes caused by other matters separately,which remarkably tones up the capacity against frequency offset.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can work well even when the unitary frequency offset (compared to symbol rate ) grows up to 1.5×10⁻²,while the traditional PSP algorithm needs the unitary frequency offset less than 2.0×10⁻⁴.Further-more,the proposed algorithm has no need for phase initialization,and a loss of only 1dB on performance can be achieved in comparison with the traditional PSP algorithm.…”

Single-channel blind separation of co-frequency modulated signals based on Gibbs sampler by Yong YANG, Dong-ling ZHANG, Hua PENG, Shi-long TU

“…A Gibbs-sampler-based separation algorithm was proposed for single-channel co-frequency digital-modulated signals，which were received in non-cooperative ways.The probability density samples of unknown symbol sequences can be obtained by statistic method，and the computation complexity was not growing exponentially with the increase of channel order.With special emphasis on the separation algorithms of single pair of symbols，multiple pair of symbols and the tracking of channel responses.Moreover，the separation performance between Gibbs sampler and per-survivor processing(PSP) algorithm were analyzed and compared in detail.Simulation results show that，compared with PSP algorithm with L=4 for two co-frequency QPSK-modulated signals，Gibbs sampler can be nearly 17 times lower in computation complexity when the approximately performance is obtained.…”

Le détroit de Gibraltar by Guillaume Le Boedec

“…A real testing laboratory for the outsourcing of European migratory policy and of Maghreb cooperation, the Strait of Gibraltar has emerged as a model «frontier-setting» in the Schengen zone, but also as the symbol of its lack of efficiency. Migrants’ resourcefulness and capacity to get round European systems and devices underline the total inefficiency of a closing-the-borders policy led without any plan of developing the countries they come from.…”
