WANG Ming-sheng, HUANG Lin, YAN Xiao-yong
2012, 41(1): 2-7. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-0548.2012.01.001
Abstract:
The mobility patterns of passengers in a public transport network are explored based on Shijiazhuang bus passengers survey data. The results show that the inflows and outflows of different stations in the network are strongly heterogeneous and the traffic flow among stations follows a power law distribution. The results also show that the travel distance distribution of public transport passengers is peaked, which can be fitted by a negative binomial distribution. The potential mechanism leading to these statistical characteristics are explained by three random walk models, one of which can reproduce the scaling distribution of traffic flow and the peaked distribution of travel distance.

CHEN Juan, LU Jun-an
2012, 41(1): 8-16. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-0548.2012.01.002
Abstract:
Nowadays, mesoscales in complex networks has been an important topic of research in the field of complex networks. The paper presents the Laplacian spectral features of complex networks and reports the finding of a strong correlation between the laplacian spectrum and the node-degree sequence of a network. Furthermore, the synchronization and generalized synchronization of complex networks under different topological structures at the mesoscale level of description are studied. It is found that synchronization first starts from the nodes with largest degrees. It is also explored that the Laplacian spectrum shows a close relation with community structure and time scales regarding the network synchronization process. For community networks, there exists a general path towards synchronization: partial synchronization-cluster synchronization-global complete synchronization. This dynamical process helps to find the community structure of a network. Finally, some advanced researches of mesoscales in complex networks is introduced.

XIE Xian-bin, GUO Wei
2012, 41(1): 17-20. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-0548.2012.01.003
Abstract:
A numerical analysis is presented to show that the uniform allocation of cognitive users can maximize the communication opportunity capacity of cognitive radio networks. The optimal number of cognitive users and the corresponding algorithm of channel allocation are presented in this paper. Theory derivation and numerical analysis show that the optimal number of cognitive users is determined by the number of primary users, Channels and the communication requirement probability of cognitive users. In a given communication requirement probability of primary users, there is an optimal communication requirement probability of cognitive users which maximizes the communication opportunity capacity of cognitive radio networks. The proposed algorithm provides a theory basis for the configuration of cognitive radio networks.

SHEN Jia-quan, YAN Huai-zhi
2012, 41(1): 21-24. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-0548.2012.01.004
Abstract:
Fourier transform is usually used in the domain of frequency-wave number transformation in ground penetrating radar. But the interpolation algorithm needs all the data in the domain of frequency migration. So discrete cosine transform (DCT) is presented to replace Fourier transform to do migration. According to the character of the concentration of energy of DCT, the interpolition processing is applied only to the data related with main components on DCT in the domain of frequency. Test result shows that DCT can be a good substitute to Fourier transform and suggested optimization algorithm has less computation and no plural parasitic data.

XU Wei, DENG Yun-kai
2012, 41(1): 25-30. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-0548.2012.01.005
Abstract:
Spaceborne multi-input multi-output SAR (MIMO-SAR) system combined with multidimensional waveform encoding can obtain wider unambiguous swath width and higher azimuth resolution than traditional spaceborne SAR system. However, the mount of data of waveform diversity extraction method based on traditional digital beam-forming (DBF) techniques is seriously high and the great receive antenna gain loss from topography occurs with the recent presented scan-on-receive (SCORE) technique. A new waveform diversity extraction approach taking advantages of the SCORE technique via sub-array antennas and posterior space time processing (STP) is proposed in this paper. This approach can reduce the high date rate of SAR systems and the receiveing antenna gain loss from topography in the SCORE technique. Furthermore, this approach remains some useful information of multi-channel in elevation for other applications and it is easy to be realized. Simulation results validate the presented approach is better than the waveform diversity extraction method based on the SCORE technique.

HE Jie, FENG Da-zheng, XIANG Cong, Lü Hui
2012, 41(1): 31-35. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-0548.2012.01.006
Abstract:
A reduced-dimension space-time adaptive processing (STAP) method for clutter suppression in airborne multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar systems is developed. Firstly, the high-dimensional weight vector is decomposed into the Kronecker product of spatial and temporal weight vectors. Secondly, the quadratic cost function used in the optimum STAP is converted into two quadratic functions by using the information of the space-time correlation matrix. Finally, by iteratively optimizing two lower dimensional weight vectors in two quadratic functions, the proposed method can significantly decrease the computational load and training samples requirement. Experimental results using both simulated data and measured radar data demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

MA Zhuo, DU Shuan-yi, WANG Xin-mei
2012, 41(1): 36-39,146. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-0548.2012.01.007
Abstract:
For adopting single time-frequency chuck as pilot pattern. We prove that the optimal estimation cannot be achieved by polynomial interpolation using the standard inverse matrix, when there are less pilot symbols than the parameters of the polynomial model. For solving this proldem, a generalized inverse matrix is defined from a weighting matrix which is constructed based on minimum variance criterion. A 2-D polynomial interpolation algorithm is then proposed based on this weighted generalized inverse matrix. Simulation result shows that the proposed algorithm can be applied to receivers with different velocities. Under moderate or low velocity in particular, this algorithm can achieve a BER gain of about 2 dB for large SNR compared with 1-D linear Interpolation algorithms.

RAO Yun-jiang, DENG Qiang, YI Wei-qi, WU Yu, CHEN Yi-huai
2012, 41(1): 40-42. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-0548.2012.01.008
Abstract:
The electro-optic effect of a silica microfiber knot resonator (MKR) is studied. The characteristic of output optical spectrum is analyzed theoretically and experimentally. The experimental results show that the current sensitivity due to electro-optic effect is~500 pm/A. The wavelength shift due to the thermal drift of the wire is much smaller than that caused by the electro-optic effect. Such MKR has the advantages of high Q factor, compact size and low cost and therefore has potential value in developing tunable in-line fiber-optic filters and micro-current measurement for MEMS devices.

2012, 41(1): 43-47. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-0548.2012.01.009
Abstract:
Aiming to obtain a low sidelobe of an array, fuzzy discrete particle swarm optimization (FDPSO) algorithm is firstly applied in the optimization of the element positions of thinned antenna arrays. Compared with some evolutionary algorithms such as genetic algorithm, the FDPSO has the advantages of less parameters and easier to be implemented. In order to avoid the algorithm being trapped into local optimum, a chaotic dynamic procedure is introduced in the optimization. A penalty approach is used in the constraint of the width of mainlobe. Simulation results of a linear array show that the algorithm can handle discrete problem properly.

2012, 41(1): 48-53. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-0548.2011.04.010
Abstract:
In this paper, the computer implementation of optimal index-order of binary decision diagram (BDD) structure is researched based on analyzing the principle of optimal index-order presented by Friedman etc. In process of analyzing key techniques, the redundancy to store truth table of all indexes in original method is pointed out. At the same time, the defect that the original method could only obtain an optimal solution (when the object had several optimal solutions) was analyzed, and then the original method was improved, i.e., the truth table used for storing index value is deleted and the algorithm is modified to get all optimal solutions. To realize optimal BDD structure in formality, the principle simplifying ‘equivalent' nodes with ‘deleting' operations is analyzed in detail. The theory of optimal index-order and method of simplifying ‘equivalent' nodes are united to implement optimal BDD structure with theoretic and formal angle. Finally, the advantages of joint improved method used for achieving optimal BDD structure are validated with an example.
Adaptive Fuzzy Control with High Accuracy for Uncertain Nonlinear Systems
PAN Yong-ping, HUANG Dao-ping, SUN Zong-hai
2012, 41(1): 54-59. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-0548.2012.01.011
Abstract:
For a class of uncertain affine nonlinear systems with unknown boundary functions, an adaptive fuzzy controller (AFC) with the characteristic of high tracking accuracy is proposed in this paper. Based on the theory of variable universe fuzzy system, it is proved that the optimal fuzzy approximation error (FAE) has local convergence property under certain conditions. By using the tracking errors as inputs and selecting suitable adaptive parameters, an AFC with optimal FAE local convergence is developed. Under the key assumption that the optimal FAE is bounded, it is proved that the closed-loop system is stable in the sense that all involving variables are bounded and the tracking errors converge to zero. This approach can theoretically eliminate the effect of the FAE on the tracking errors without additional compensator, thus it can achieve high tracking accuracy with smooth control input. Simulated application of a single-link manipulator demonstrates the effectiveness of this approach.

2012, 41(1): 70-73. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-0548.2012.01.014
Abstract:
User access patterns reflect the laws of the user browsing the sites and the interest of user's access. The common pattern discovery method is mining frequent traversal paths of the user from the user's access logs. As the mining method of the frequent traversal path based on Apriori algorithm needs frequent access to the database and produce large amounts of candidate items, this paper presents a new data structure of the traverse path tree to mine user's frequent traversal paths. Results show that the mining efficiency is improved comparing with the traditional method.

HUANG Yan, GU Zhi-min
2012, 41(1): 85-91. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-0548.2012.01.017
Abstract:
Memory latency has become a critical bottleneck in achieving high performance on modern processors. Prefetching thread based on multiprocessor (CMP) is a well known approach to reducing memory latency and has been explored in different applications. In this paper, we analyze the performance of prefetching thread for memory intensive applications. The analysis and experimental result show that computation/access latency ratio (CALR) of hotspots has an important affect on prefethcing performance. When the memory access ratio between main thread and prefetching thread is close to (1-CALR)/(1+CALR), prefetching thread gains better performance. The thread prefetching performance of several benchmarks from Olden and SPEC2006 benchmark suite is tested, and the experimental results reflect the impact of different memory access ratio between Prefetching thread and main thread.

2012, 41(1): 92-97. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-0548.2012.01.018
Abstract:
With the widely use of acceleration devices, hardware parallelism of single hybrid programming computer (HPC) node has increased many. As a result, both on-chip communication and inter-node communication become more and more frequently. Apparently, communication is becoming the bottleneck of system performance. This paper proposes a design of hardware module called synchronization accelerator to accelerate synchronization communication patterns. These patterns include fine-grain synchronization, barrier, and all-reduce. At the scale of 16 processes, synchronization accelerator can achieve about 4 times speedup than software-based collective operations. Also, the performance of benchmark LU can achieve 20% improvement with the use of synchronization accelerator.

2012, 41(1): 114-119. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-0548.2012.01.022
Abstract:
Through analyzing existing methods of median filtering on salt & pepper noise, a new improved weighted median filtering based on grads similarity is proposed. The proposed algorithm divides the image with salt & pepper noise into uncertain noise pixel and signal pixel from the difference of pixel grey value in filtering window. The uncertain noise pixels are further analyzed by grads similarity in filtering window. The disturbance of noise pixel is removed by applying extremum trimming method. At last, a improved weighted median filtering algorithm with abandon points of max square deviation is used to compute the grey value of noisy point. Simulation results show that this proposed method has a great improvement in removing salt & pepper noise and preserving the details of image. The restored image can also obtain better peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR).
