Evaluation approach for network components performance using trustworthiness measurement by Gang XIONG, Ju-long LAN, Yu-xiang HU, Shi-ran LIU

“…For the network components selecting problem involved the process of building the new network and net-work service,a network component evaluation method was proposed based on the trustworthiness measurement and the model of the multiple attribute decision analysis.First of all,according to the flexible characteristics of the network ap-plication environment,an on-demand driven and dynamic strategy was designed for constructing trustworthiness index tree.Secondly,the uncertainty of the subjective weight was reduced by using the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process,and the combination weight calculated from the subjective objective weight was used to improve the fairness of weight-ing operation.Next,in the decision stage,the evaluation results were obtained through the integrated use of processing strategies which include the index data utility transformation,the trustworthiness attribute vector construction and the calculation of vector relative approximation degree.Finally,the rationality,applicability and validity of the presented ap-proach are demonstrated with the evaluation of the software defined network controllers,and the results contribute to provide operators more decision information.…”

A massive MIMO-OTFS robust transmission scheme for vehicular networks using sensing-assisted communication by Weidong WANG, Hui GAO, Xin SU, Limin XIAO, Shiqiang SUO, Qiusha GONG

“…For a multi-user integrated sensing and communication system in the network of vehicles, a robust sensing-assisted communication massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) transmission scheme was proposed.Due to the limited sensing accuracy of the radar, errors existed in the channel state information (CSI) reconstructed based on sensing parameters.The transmission performance decreased as a result.To address this issue, the CSI in the delay doppler domain was reconstructed based on the sensing parameters by the transmitter firstly.And a robust beam forming scheme was designed considering the CSI error.Secondly, the channel estimation error and inter user interference were perceived by receivers based on sensing parameters.Then the robust receiver was designed by incorporating the perceived interference errors into the signal detector in an analytical way.Finally, numerical simulation results show that the proposed method effectively reduces the system bit error rate and increases the data reception rate of users.The proposed method improves the overall system performance in this situation.…”

Extensible hierarchical codec semantic communication system by Yuyuan ZHANG, Haitao ZHAO, Jibo WEI, Kuo CAO, Yichi ZHANG, Peng LUO, Yueling LIU, Kai MEI

“…Aiming at the problem that most current researches on text semantic communication mainly rely on simulation system for theoretical verification, an extensible hierarchical semantic communication system was proposed by taking advantage of the separation of hierarchical encoding and decoding architecture in semantic level and grammatical level.The system was compatible with the reliable communication technology under the framework of Shannon information through the mode of semantic and syntactic separation, and realized the nested combination of semantic communication and traditional communication.Furthermore, a universal and extensible verification system was built based on the software radio platform to verify the proposed semantic communication system architecture.The verification system took semantic communication software platform as the driving core of hardware drive and algorithm call, integrated the whole process of signal generation, information transmission, data acquisition, decoding and evaluation at the receiving end, and could be further extended for semantic and syntactic level.Finally, the text semantic communication was tested based on this verification system, which verified that it had higher validity and reliability than the traditional communication mode.…”

“…Communication and navigation symbiosis refers to the coexistence of these signals in the satellite ecological environment.For single-function low-orbit satellite constellations for positioning or communication, it is difficult to quickly perform positioning management when positioning or communication signals are unavailable.The extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm was proposed to solve the location of the opportunity signals of LEO communication navigation symbiosis constellations, breaking through the dependence of location management on a single navigation system.Firstly, the basic principle of Kalman filter was introduced, and a Kalman filter location management algorithm based on opportunity signal combining with the positioning management algorithm of LEO satellite constellation was proposed.Secondly, the advantages of this algorithm were analyzed, including improving positioning accuracy, improving positioning efficiency, improving positioning stability, etc.Finally, experiments were carried out to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm.The results show that the algorithm can effectively improve the positioning accuracy, efficiency and stability, and provides an effective solution for LEO communication navigation symbiosis constellation location management.…”
