Hybrid genetic algorithm based optimization of pilotpattern by Hanbing ZHENG, Xiang YU, Weiwei WANG

“…In OFDM system,sparse channel estimation based on compressed sensing(CS)can make full use of the inherent sparse degree of the wireless channel,which can reduce the pilot overhead and improve the spectrum efficiency.Therefore,a new method based on hybrid genetic algorithm was investigated for the pilot design of CS channel estimation,which was based on the minimization of the matrix cross correlation in the CS theory.In this method,genetic algorithm was used to obtain the initial sub-optimal pilot sequence,and then combined with the pilot position and pilot power,each entry of pilot pattern could be sequentially updated and optimized to make the minimum correlation of measurement matrix.Simulation results show that the proposed method can ensure a better mean square error and bit error rate compared to the pseudo-random pilot design and the equal distance pilot design.…”

New EM parameter estimation algorithm for a type of micro-motion SFM signal by Yong-yan JIANG, Shi-yuan ZHANG

“…Aiming at the problem that the existing method has high computational complexity and high SNR,a novel method of multi-component SFM signals parameter estimation based on EM algorithm was proposed as to spinning tar-get's narrow band micro-motion echoes.The echo model of spinning target and its micro-doppler measurements based on time-frequency analysis were given.The iterative parameter estimation steps based on Gaussian mixture model and EM algorithm to measurements were established.The simulation results demonstrate that when SNR is greater than -3 dB and the SFM components are equal or greater than 2，the method can estimate the target’s micro-motion parameters e.g.projection size accurately in narrow band condition.…”

Reserve of ice in glaciers on the Nordenskiöld Land, Spitsbergen, and their changes over the last decades by I. I. Lavrentiev, A. F. Glazovsky, Yu. Ya. Macheret, V. V. Matskovsky, A. Ya. Muravyev

“…This made possible to calculate total volume of 202 glaciers as of 2002-2008 state using data from RGI v.6.0, and that prove to be equal to 32.89 (16.75–56.63) km3. To verify this estimation, we applied the bootstrapping method for chosen 43 glaciers and calculated the volume by means of sequential use of data for large and smaller glaciers. …”
