Power allocation of MIMO system with RF mismatch in TD-LTE power wireless private network by Bao FENG, Tao MA, Shilong CAI, Yang LI

“…With the development of smart distribution network,the power wireless private network using TD-LTE technology has gradually become a hot research topic.Among them,multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system is a key technology of TD-LTE power wireless private network.In TD-LTE,time-division duplex is often used to estimate channel information and perform appropriate power allocation to maximize the spectral efficiency of the communication system.However,due to the mismatch of radio frequency link,the complete uplink and downlink channels in the actual communication system can not achieve complete symmetry.The performance of MIMO system under radio frequency mismatch was analyzed and the suboptimal power allocation scheme was given.Combining with the approximate capacity expression,the spectral efficiency of the system under radio frequency mismatch and matching was analyzed.Simulation results show that compared with the optimal power allocation,the system capacity will suffer some loss due to the sub-optimal power allocation algorithm,but there is still some performance improvement compared with the equal power allocation algorithm,and does not require complicated calibration process.The realization of the operation proves the validity of the sub-optimal power allocation algorithm.…”

Lightweight opportunistic routing forwarding strategy based on Markov chain by Feng LI, Ya-li SI, Zhen CHEN, Li-min SHEN

“…A lightweight opportunistic routing forwarding strategy (MOR) was proposed based on Markov chain.In the scheme,the execute process of network was divided into a plurality of equal time period,and the random encounter state of node in each time period was represented by activity degree.The state sequence of a plurality of continuous time period constitutes a discrete Markov chain.The activity degree of encounter node was estimated by Markov model to predict its state of future time period,which can enhance the accuracy of activity degree estimation.Then,the method of comprehensive evaluating forwarding utility was designed based on the activity degree of node and the average encounter interval.MOR used the utility of node for making a routing forwarding decision.Each node only maintained a state of last time period and a state transition probability matrix,and a vector recording the average encounter interval of nodes.So,the routing forwarding decision algorithm was simple and efficient,low time and space complexity.Furthermore,the method was proposed to set optimal number of the message copy based on multiple factors,which can effectively balance the utilization of network resources.Results show that compared with existing algorithms,MOR algorithm can effectively increase the delivery ratio and reduce the delivery delay,and lower routing overhead ratio.…”

High-precision indoor wireless positioning method based on generative adversarial network by Fuzhan WANG, Xiaorong ZHU, Meijuan CHEN, Hongbo ZHU

“…Because wireless signals are susceptible to interference during the propagation process, the application of traditional indoor positioning methods in real life is limited.Because location-based fingerprint positioning technology has the advantage of strong universality, it has become a current research hotspot.The number of fingerprint data is an important factor affecting the accuracy of fingerprint positioning, but the cost of collecting a large amount of fingerprint data is large.Therefore, how to use a small amount of fingerprint data to achieve higher positioning accuracy is a difficult point of fingerprint positioning technology.Aiming at this problem, a high-precision indoor wireless positioning method based on generative adversarial network was proposed.Firstly, fingerprint data was collected densely at equal intervals indoors, and the initial fingerprint data set was constructed, the part of the fingerprint data was selected in the initial fingerprint data set, and the generative adversarial network was used to obtain a large amount of fingerprint data from part of the fingerprint data.Then, based on these generated data, a KNN (k-nearest neighbor) model and a random forest model were used for location prediction.Experimental results show that this method can achieve high wireless positioning accuracy based on a small amount of fingerprint data, and the positioning accuracy can reach 15.4 cm.…”
