SC-CFDMA uplink symbol synchronization method based on multi-rate satellite-ground loop by Dan DING, Nai-ping CHENG, Yu-rong LIAO

“…SC-CFDMA(single carrier code and frequency division multiple access) system,whose synchronization is more difficult than that of common orthogonal multi-carrier systems,requires the symbol synchronization to achieve a chip-level precision.Therefore,a synchronization method based on multi-rate satellite-ground loop is proposed.This method extends the closed-loop control on the non-sampling points of the loop through raising the control rates of some loop components,so as to promote the adaptability to users with different speeds.Besides,the state-space equations of the loop and related components are derived.The Matlab simulation results show that,even in GEO satellite system,the synchronization method proposed can adjust the SC-CFDMA uplink symbol timing errors between several supersonic users within chip-level duration,thus providing stable communication.…”

基于XGBoost的冷水机组不平衡数据故障诊断 by 潘进, 丁强, 江爱朋, 陈越增, 夏宇栋

“…The chiller operating data has unbalanced,non-Gaussian,non-linear,noise-containing characteristics,which poses a challenge for data-based chiller fault diagnosis.Aiming at these characteristics,a chiller fault diagnosis method based on Minority Oversampling under Local Area Density and e Xtreme Gradient Boosting is proposed to chiller fault diagnosis to overcome sample distribution imbalance.Introduce cost-sensitive learning theory to increase the recall rate of important faults.The simulations of seven fault monitoring data commonly used in centrifugal chillers show that XGBoost can better classify chiller status monitoring data compared to the control group.The MOLAD-XGBoost composite model can effectively deal with data imbalance problems; Cost sensitive weights can effectively increase the recall rate for critical failures.…”
