OCT-Precoding Combined with LDPC-Coding Scheme for 128 QAM MB-OFDM UWBoF System by Changqing Xiang, Xi Yang, Xiaojun Zhu, Qiong He, Renmin Zhang, Zhiyang Xiang

“…In this paper, we proposed a coding scheme based on orthogonal cyclic transpose (OCT) precoding combined with low-density parity check (LDPC) code to improve the transmission performance of 128-quadrature amplitude modulation multiband orthogonal-frequency-division-multiplexing ultrawide band over fiber (128 QAM MB-OFDM UWBoF) system. The proposed scheme could not only improve the performance of the system but also average the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of subcarriers and reduce the difference among subchannels in practical application. …”

Application and research of SDN-based management and control technology for optical transport grey-box devices by Qian HU, Guoyong ZHAO, Xiaoli HUO, Junjie LI, Ruiquan JING, Fei YAN, Xiaofeng WU

“…Traditional optical transport network is gradually becoming open and disaggregated, and the chimney-type single-vendor and single-domain management mode is also developing to the multi-vendor and multi-domain management mode with the penetration of software defined network (SDN) concept.Considering the equipment difference and protocol complexity of transport network, application of SDN management and control for transport network faces challenges.Firstly, the concept of grey-box was proposed, which was between black-box and white-box.Then, taking grey-box access OTN as an example, the key technologies of SDN unified management and control of access-type OTN were discussed, including management and control architecture, service template, automatic topology generation, automatic equipment online, remote upgrade of equipment, in-band DCN communication between different vendors, etc.Finally, the application of access-type OTN unified management and control system in real network was described.…”

Research on EEG signal classification of motor imagery based on AE and Transformer by Rui JIANG, Liuting SUN, Xiaoming WANG, Dapeng LI, Youyun XU

“…The motor imagery brain-computer interface has always been the focus of scholars.But traditional system cannot accurately extract significant signals and has low classification accuracy.To overcome such difficulty, a new Transformer model was proposed based on the auto-encoder (AE).The filter bank common spatial pattern (FBCSP) was used to extract the features of multiple frequency bands, and the AE was exploited to obtain the dimensionality-reduced feature matrix.Finally, it considered the influence of the global signal features by the position encoding of the Transformer model and considered the internal correlation of the feature matrix by using the multi-head self-attention mechanism.By comparison with the traditional K-nearest neighbors (KNN) system based on linear discriminant analysis (LDA), the experimental results validates that the classification effect of AE+Transformer model is better than that of LDA+KNN system.It shows that the improved algorithm is suitable for the binary classification of motor imagery.…”
