Novel direct sequence spread spectrum communication method by Fanglin GU, Jinlin PENG, Yuzhen HUANG, Shengqun CAO, Haitao ZHAO, Jibo WEI

“…In response to the problem of limited performance and low spectral efficiency in complex multipath environments of traditional direct sequence spread spectrum communication, a cyclic prefix (CP) block transmission structure spread spectrum system with a time-frequency hybrid direct sequence spread spectrum receiver structure was proposed.The system adopted maximum ratio combination (MRC) in the frequency domain to achieve equalization and de-spreading processes simultaneously, while achieving optimal reception performance and omitting the IFFT process to reduce computational complexity significantly.On this basis, it was proposed to replace the m-sequence with the constant amplitude zero auto correlation (CAZAC) sequence as the spread spectrum sequence, which significantly improved the system performance without increasing computational complexity.Finally, a high-speed spread spectrum communication method based on cyclic code shift keying (CCSK) was proposed to solve the problems of low spectrum utilization efficiency and limited transmission rate in traditional direct sequence spread spectrum.By utilizing the property of Fourier transform time-domain cyclic shift, a low implementation complexity CCSK decoding method was designed, which reduced the multiplication number required for CCSK de-spreading by O(N²) reduced to O (Nlog N), greatly reducing resource consume.The simulation results show that compared to existing direct sequence spread spectrum methods, the proposed method achieves approximately 3 dB gain in both Gaussian and complex multipath channel environments.…”

Image Recognition as a “Dialogic AI Partner” Within Biodiversity Citizen Science—an empirical investigation by Nirwan Sharma, Laura Colucci-Gray, Poppy Lakeman-Fraser, Annie Robinson, Julie Newman, René Van der Wal, Stefan Rueger, Advaith Siddharthan

“…We report a significant improvement in identification accuracy for both humans and AI when they engage in such dialogue and retain the ability to reach independent conclusions rather than achieve consensus. Given the inherent need for convergence in decision-making within scientific processes such as species identification tasks, we augmented the dialogic process with a Bayesian model that unifies potentially divergent human and AI perspectives post collaboration to achieve a more accurate consensus decision than that achieved by either AI or citizens. …”

Piecewise-linear companding transform for peak-to-average power ratio reduction of OFDM signals by YANG Pin-lu, HU Ai-qun

“…In order to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio（PAPR） of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing（OFDM） signals,a piecewise-linear companding transform was proposed.Small amplitudes were multiplied by a scale factor,while large ones were not only multiplied by a scale factor but also added by a shift.The resulting companding transform was piecewise-linear and continuous.It can provide significant PAPR reduction performance with low compu-tational complexity,and has low influence on system performances through piecewise transform.It is shown by theoreti-cal analysis and simulation that,a good trade-off between PAPR reduction and bit-error-rate performances can be achieved by carefully choosing the two scales and the shift.Furthermore,compared with existing linear and nonlinear companding transforms,a better power spectral density performance can be achieved.…”

Communication-efficient distributed precoding design for Massive MIMO by Mian LI, Yang LI, Zonghui ZHANG, Qingjiang SHI

“…A communication-efficient distributed precoding scheme was proposed for multi-baseband processing unit (BBU) baseband processing architecture, aiming to reduce fronthaul data exchange and computational complexity between BBUs.Firstly, a distributed framework based on R-WMMSE algorithm was proposed, which utilized the subspace property of the optimal solution to compress the interactive data losslessly, thereby reducing data exchange.Furthermore, two learnable compression modules based on matrix multiplication were designed, using optimized computing structures and matrix parameters to reduce the parameters and computations while maintaining function expressiveness.Finally, the learnable modules and the distributed precoding framework were jointly optimized with achievable rate as the optimization objective to obtain the final model.The proposed scheme can achieve guaranteed precoding performance under lower requirements on data interaction and computational complexity…”
