Design of OFDM-IM system based on IRS-assisted by Mengmeng ZHAO, Liming HE, Fangfang LIU

“…Index modulation (IM) and intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) are emerging mobile communication technologies.In order to improve the reliability of traditional orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system, an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with index modulation (OFDM-IM) system based on IRS-assisted was designed.Firstly, the OFDM-IM system was designed by using spatial modulation and frequency domain modulation to increase the Euclidean distance between subcarriers.Then, by establishing an equivalent circuit model, a practical IRS model was obtained.Finally, an alternating optimization algorithm was used to optimize the active transmission power of the access point (AP) and passive beamforming of the IRS jointly.The simulation results show that compared to the benchmark scheme, the symbol error rate (SER) or bit error rate (BER) of the OFDM-IM system based on IRS-assisted can be reduced by 60%～90%.Especially in the case of high signal-to-noise ratio, the SER or BER of the system can reach 1.0×10^-6, which indicates that the introduction of IM and IRS technologies has optimized the link transmission quality of end-to-end communication system.In addition, based on the IRS-assisted OFDM-IM system as the standard, simulations are conducted to demonstrate the impact of various parameters from the IRS model and IM.It concludes that the parameters in the system should be selected reasonably according to channel state information (CSI).…”

Vulnerability Evaluation and Improvement Method of Civil Aviation Navigation Network by Tingyu Gong, Songchen Han, Kunshan Yang

“…Vulnerability evaluation shows that the navigation network is more vulnerable when subject to the intentional attack of nodes with higher comprehensive node importance than an intentional attack of nodes with a larger value of indicators used in previous literature. Finally, the vulnerability of the navigation network is improved through changing the topology of the most critical node and balancing the node importance of the whole network.…”

Lightweight Transformer traffic scene semantic segmentation algorithm integrating multi-scale depth convolution by Gang XIE, Quanyi WANG, Xinlin XIE, Jian’an WANG

“…Aiming at the problems of discontinuous segmentation of thin strip objects that were easy to blend into the surrounding background and a large number of model parameters in the semantic segmentation algorithm of traffic scenes, a lightweight Transformer traffic scene semantic segmentation algorithm integrating multi-scale depth convolution was proposed.First, a multi-scale strip feature extraction module (MSEM) was constructed based on deep convolution to enhance the representation ability of thin strip target features at different scales.Secondly, a spatial detail auxiliary module (SDAM) was designed using the convolutional inductive bias feature in the shallow network to compensate for the loss of deep spatial detail information to optimize object edge segmentation.Finally, an asymmetric encoding-decoding network based on the Transformer-CNN framework (TC-AEDNet) was proposed.The encoder combined Transformer and CNN to alleviate the loss of detail information and reduce the amount of model parameters; while the decoder adopted a lightweight multi-level feature fusion design to further model the global context.The proposed algorithm achieves the mean intersection over union (mIoU) of 78.63% and 81.06% respectively on the Cityscapes and CamVid traffic scene public datasets.It can achieve a trade-off between segmentation accuracy and model size in traffic scene semantic segmentation and has a good application prospect.…”
