Neural network decoding of the block Markov superposition transmission by Qianfan WANG, Sheng BI, Zengzhe CHEN, Li CHEN, Xiao MA

“…A neural network (NN)-based decoding algorithm of block Markov superposition transmission (BMST) was researched.The decoders of the basic code with different network structures and representations of training data were implemented using NN.Integrating the NN-based decoder of the basic code in an iterative manner,a sliding window decoding algorithm was presented.To analyze the bit error rate (BER) performance,the genie-aided (GA) lower bounds were presented.The NN-based decoding algorithm of the BMST provides a possible way to apply NN to decode long codes.That means the part of the conventional decoder could be replaced by the NN.Numerical results show that the NN-based decoder of basic code can achieve the BER performance of the maximum likelihood (ML) decoder.For the BMST codes,BER performance of the NN-based decoding algorithm matches well with the GA lower bound and exhibits an extra coding gain.…”

Introducing a Rheology Model for Non-Newtonian Drilling Fluids by Masoud Rashidi, Ahmad Sedaghat, Biltayib Misbah, Mohammad Sabati, Koshy Vaidyan, Ali Mostafaeipour, Seyyed Shahabaddin Hosseini Dehshiri, Khalid Almutairi, Alibek Issakhov

“…It is found that the Bingham, Cross, and HBE rheology models have precisely matched the WBM measurements in the viscometer. A generalized Reynolds number was applied to determine the Darcy friction factor although the PL (power law model) and the HB (Herschel-Bulkley model) exhibited a nonrealistic negative shift from the laminar friction factor.…”
