Fingerprint localization algorithm based on linear spatial dependence of WLAN RSS by Xiaoliang XU, Jian GAO, He HUANG, Zhe MA

“…Due to RSS time-varying and difference of signal receiving ability of different terminals,the performance of RSS-based technologies is usually instability.In order to solve such problem, a novel fingerprint localization algorithm based on linear spatial dependence of RSS was proposed.Multiple sets of RSS samples were collected at each reference point to form a feature matrix and an offline location fingerprint database was conducted.When the real-time RSS matrix was used to calculate the correlation between the real-time RSS matrix and the reference point of the fingerprint library, the k-reference points were obtained, and the final position of the user was calculated by the quadratic weighted centroid algorithm.In order to effectively reduce the influence of signal time-varying,the sampling and sorting process were carried out, and the number of sampling times increased as much as possible when constructing the offline fingerprint database,but the samples needed to be aggregated to fit the positioning correlation calculation.Experiment results show that the proposed algorithm can guarantee the high positioning accuracy and also achieve the better stability for different terminal.…”

SOME PECULIAR FEATURES IN SHRINKAGE OF CLAY MASS DURING DRYING PROCESS by I. K. Ivanovsky, S. N. Osipov, L. V. Rafeenkova

“…The paper contains results of correlation and stochastic analysis for regularities in shrinkage of the Lukoml clay and molding mass prepared on its base, and also the Gloukhov and Gloukhovetsky kaolin and their mixtures.It has been revealed that an exponent is the most convenient approximation form of the shrinkage characteristic for the Lukoml clay and molding mass prepared on its base within significant range of moisture changes.After products’ molding in a vacuum press a linear dependence is considered as the most convenient type of approximation within the range of moisture changes and with the main shrinkage.…”

Research on video streaming media cooperative downloading in vehicular ad hoc network by Liang CHEN, Jun WANG, Rong CHEN, Xiang GU, Jin WANG, Jie WAN

“…The same direction multi-hop downloading network flow model was proposed for vehicle communication range and channel competition under forwarding.According to the model and video streaming media characteristic,the same ＆amp; opposite direction cooperative downloading quality of service (SODCD-QoS) scheme was presented.First,the same direction vehicles helped the target vehicle to achieve multi-hop cooperative downloading.It can reduce the waste of time which the target vehicle has to wait for opposite direction cooperative vehicle.Secondly,the next base stations loaded data into eligible opposite direction vehicles according to vehicles option strategy based on time first or picture quality first.Then the opposite direction vehicles helped the target vehicle to achieve one-hop cooperative downloading.NS simulations show that the SODCD-QoS scheme is better than DSRelay and VCoDS algorithm in terms of download time.Further,the new scheme can maintain good picture quality PSNR.…”
