Twodimensional Cross Entropy Thresholding Based on Chaotic Resilient Particle Swarm Optimization or Decomposition WU Yi-Quan, ZHANG Xiao-Jie, WU Shi-Hua 2011, 45 (03):  301-0307.  Abstract ( 4421 )   Save A twodimensional cross entropy image thresholding method based on chaotic resilient particle swarm optimization (CRPSO) or decomposition was proposed. Firstly, chaotic resilient particle swarm optimization was used to find the optimal threshold of twodimensional cross entropy method. The recursive algorithm was adopted to avoid the repetitive computation of fitness function in iterative procedure. As a result, the computing speed was improved greatly. Then, the computation of twodimensional cross entropy method was converted into two onedimensional spaces, which made the computation complexity further reduce from O(L2) to O(L). The experimental results show that, the two methods proposed in this paper can greatly reduce the running time while the segmented result is as good as or better than the existing twodimensional cross entropy thresholding method.

A Novel ICI Cancellation Algorithm Based on Channel Segmentationcascade in OFDM System XU Xing-Hui, HE Chen 2011, 45 (03):  308-0312.  Abstract ( 3901 )   Save  For Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) wireless systems with high frequency, deficiencies caused by Doppler frequency offset and the carrier phase noise are much higher，which will introduce InterCarrier Interference (ICI) and degrade the performance. Using channel segmentation，an equivalent method was presented in this paper，which transfers linear timevariant channel into the cascading of timeinvariant channel and timevariant channel with no delay. Then onedimensional equalization can be achieved at the receiver to suppress ICI, avoiding calculating the frequency domain channel response matrix and its inverse matrix. The analysis and simulation results show that, the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce the complexity to O(N) with almost no performance loss, compared to the existing low complexity MMSE.

Adaptive limited feedback for MUMIMO system WU Youlong,LUO Hanwen,LIU Wei,DING Ming,Wang Hailong 2011, 45 (03):  313-0320.  Abstract ( 4619 )   Save The limited feedback in multiuser MultipleInput MultipleOutput (MUMIMO) systems is addressed in this paper. In order to reduce the feedback overhead in the uplink channel, we analyze the relation between user’s feedback bits and rate, deduce the optimal solution for adaptive limited feedback, and propose a suboptimal feedback scheme which is more practical. In this scheme, users choose the feedback bits according to both their channel gains and the average gain of the system. Users with high SNR are assigned with more feedback bits than the lowSNR users so as to improve the feedback efficiency. Simulation results and analysis show that the proposed scheme is easytoimplement and can enhance the throughput with no additional feedback overhead. References | Related Articles | Metrics

A Relay Scheduling Algorithm in DualHop Wireless Networks Zhang-Yu, LUO Han-Wen, ZHOU Xiao-Lin 2011, 45 (03):  331-0335.  Abstract ( 3926 )   Save This paper proposed a relay node iterative scheduling algorithm based on the channel capacity maximization for dualhop wireless networks. Based on the amplifyandforward relay protocol, the proposed algorithm selects relay nodes iteratively according to the criterion which makes the instantaneous capacity maximal when the destination node performs the joint decoding. The selection process continues until the number of the selected relays is equal to the number of source transmitting antennas or the channel capacity does not increase anymore. The simulation results show that under different conditions including total number of relay nodes, number of source transmitting antennas and signal to noise ratios of the forward and backward channels, the algorithm can obtain greater capacity gains and multirelay diversity gains over conventional algorithms and can reach the upper bound of the informationtheoretic capacity more closely.

The condition of producing the grating lobe was discussed at first, and on this basis, a new method of beam scanning at uniform subarray level was proposed for the purpose of reducing the grating lobe by dividing the scanning region. The fundamental rules of scanning regional division and how to optimize the weights of all angles in each scanning region at elements level and subarray level by particle swarm optimization (PSO) were also discussed. As an example, an array of three subarray with four elements was simulated and the results show that the maximum sidelobe level can be reduced to -22 dB in each scanning region. This approach also can be used for multibeam forming. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The Influence of Formation Manner of Component on Signal Processing Effect of Singular Value Decomposition ZHAO Xue-Zhi, YE Bang-Yan 2011, 45 (03):  368-0374.  Abstract ( 4551 )   Save  Aimed at the formation manner of component signal in singular value decomposition (SVD), the difference of signal processing effect between the simple manner and the average manner was studied. Firstly, for the average manner, a convenient algorithm to get the average of matrix elements is proposed according to the characteristic of Hankel matrix. Secondly, it is proved that the original signal can be decomposed into the linear sum of a series of component signals by SVD with both manners, and a parameter called loss ratio is proposed to evaluate the signal processing effect of both manners. The studying results show that for sine signals, there is no difference between the processing effects of the two manners, while for frequency change signals, the average manner has the advantage of the simple one, however, both manners have extracted the modulated signal caused by the damage in roll track from the complicated vibration signal of a bearing, but the computation amount of the average manner is much larger than that of the simple one. It is recommended that except frequency change signal, for other common signals the simple method should be prior used. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Robust Vector Precoding with Imperfect Channel State Information Shi-Qi-Ming, JIANG Ling-Ge, HE Chen 2011, 45 (03):  375-0378.  Abstract ( 3989 )   Save A robust vector precoding scheme is proposed for imperfect channel in multiuser MIMO system. In the nonideal channel model, the transmit side only knows imperfect channel state information, i.e. the mean value of the channel estimation and the 1st and the 2nd order statistic value of the estimation error. Based on this channel model, the robust VP precoding matrix and perturbation vector are obtained by minimizing the mean square error of the transmitted and received signals. Simulation results show that the new precoding scheme outperforms the conventional scheme. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Retarded Motion in Approach and Glide Speed Measurement  with TwoStations for Carrier Aircraft YU Tao 2011, 45 (03):  429-432.  Abstract ( 3848 )   Save The motion law in approach for carrier aircraft was analyzed by applying Doppler shift. When carrier aircraft is in uniform glide motion, the proportional navigation guidance law can be derived according to the condition that Doppler changing rate tends towards zero. Then, the retarded motion at equal proportion is emphatically researched and the conclusion is obtained that adjacent Doppler changing rate tends to equal. Based on the fact that the approach for carrier aircraft must be practically a retarded motion, this paper presented an engineering solution detecting glide angle and velocity of carrier aircraft in mobile platform. As opposed to the available multistation measurement mode, the analytic equation of velocity vector of carrier aircraft from Doppler shift equation can be directly derived making use of angle transformation introduced by directionfinding although the location parameter is unknown. The analog calculation verifies that the derived formula of velocity vector is errorless. The error analysis shows that the measuring error of velocity vector is less than 0.1 m/s if the rms value of measurement error of the velocity for aircraft carrier is less than 0.1 m/s.
