Short-term prediction method of oblique sounding ionosphere MUF based on robust Kalman filter by Guojun LI, Guangfa ZHENG, Changrong YE, Yinping ZHOU

“…To improve the low accuracy of ionospheric frequency forecasting, poor HF communication connectivity, and the severe impact of observational outliers in engineering on forecast accuracy, a short-term prediction method for oblique detection ionospheric MUF based on robust Kalman filtering was proposed.By studying the variation law of the measured MUF data and the causes as well as characteristics of observation errors, and exploiting the ionospheric reference model as a priori information, the state estimation equation of the Kalman filter model was improved.The cost function mechanism was introduced to realize the measurement update of the forecast state through Huber-M estimation, which reduced the influence of the observation outliers on the forecast results and improves the robustness of the proposed method.The simulation results show that the proposed method can effectively suppress the adverse effects caused by the observation outliers and has good robustness and stability.…”

Human breathing perception system based on Wi-Fi subcarrier mutual information by Ying LIU, Mengyuan HU, Zhihong QIAN

“…The unpredictable environmental changes cause large fluctuations in Wi-Fi signals, and it is difficult to quantify the static and behaviorally-aware dynamic components in the subcarriers, so it is not possible to accurately portray the fluctuating form of dynamic breathing characteristics.Based on this, a subcarrier mutual information breathing perception (SMIBP) system was proposed.Firstly, a form of inscribing dynamic component information (DCI) was proposed, and mutual information theory was utilized to extract the dynamic component information representing respiration in subcarriers.Then, analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to combine the subcarriers to maximize the dynamic characteristics of the respiratory signals to obtain the reconstructed DCI sensory base signals.Finally, the respiration rate was obtained by combining the wavelet transform and peak detection method, which revealed of a theoretical pathway representing the dynamic component of human respiration.Simulation results show that the proposed system can better characterize the dynamic breathing component in each subcarrier, and can significantly improve the sensing accuracy and range of Wi-Fi for small-scale actions in different scenarios.…”
