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.…”

Multi-data fusionaided indoor localization based on continuous action space deep reinforcement learning by Xuechen CHEN, Jiaxuan YI, Aixiang WANG, Xiaoheng DENG

“…Significant attention has been paid to indoor localization using smartphones in both research and industry.However, the accuracy and robustness of localization remain challenging issues, particularly in complex indoor environments.In light of the prevalent incorporation of pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) devices in contemporary smartphones, an advanced indoor localization fusion method, anchored in the twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient (TD3) framework, was proposed.In this approach, a seamless integration of Wi-Fi information and PDR data was achieved.The localization process of PDR was modeled as a Markov process, and a comprehensive continuous action space was introduced for the agent.To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, experiments were conducted and this approach was compared with three state-of-the-art deep Q network (DQN) based indoor localization methods.The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly reduces localization errors and enhances overall localization accuracy.…”

Generative steganography method based on auto-generation of contours by Zhili ZHOU, Meimin WANG, Gaobo YANG, Jianyu ZHU, Xingming SUN

“…To address the problems of limited hiding capacity and inaccurate information extraction in the existing generative steganography methods, a novel generative steganography method was proposed based on auto-generation of contours, which consisted of two main stages, such as the contour generation driven by secret information and the contour-to-image transformation.Firstly, the contour generation model was built based on long short term memory (LSTM) for secret information-driven auto-generation of object contours.Then, a contour-to-image reversible transformation model was constructed based on pix2pix network to obtain the stego-image, and the model also supported the reversible transformations from the stego-image to contours for secret information extraction.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method not only achieves high hiding capacity and accurate information extraction simultaneously, but also effectively resists the attacks by steganalysis tools.It performs much better than the state-of-the-art generative steganographic methods.…”
