Underwater Acoustic Channels (UAC) have inherent sparse characteristics. The traditional adaptive equalization techniques do not utilize this feature to improve the performance. In this paper we consider the Variable Adaptive Subgradient Projection (V-ASPM) method to derive a new sparse equalization algorithm based on the Minimum Symbol Error Rate (MSER) criterion. Compared with the original MSER algorithm, our proposed scheme adds sparse matrix to the iterative formula, which can assign independent step-sizes to the equalizer taps. How to obtain such proper sparse matrix is also analyzed. On this basis, the selection scheme of the sparse matrix is obtained by combining the variable step-sizes and equalizer sparsity measure. We call the new algorithm Sparse-Control Proportional-MSER (SC-PMSER) equalizer. Finally, the proposed SC-PMSER equalizer is embedded into a turbo receiver, which perform turbo decoding, Digital Phase-Locked Loop (DPLL), time-reversal receiving and multi-reception diversity. Simulation and real-field experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance in convergence speed and Bit Error Rate (BER).

This paper investigates a protocol so-called Adaptive Harvest Then Transmit (AHTT) for wireless powered communication networks (WPCNs) in multiple-input single-output (MISO) downlink systems, which assists in transmitting signals from a multi-antenna transmitter to a single-antenna receiver. Particularly, the power constrained relay is supplied with power by utilizing radio frequency (RF) signals from the source. In order to take advantage of multiple antennas, two different linear processing schemes, including Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) and Selection Combination (SC) are studied. The system outage capacity and ergodic capacity are evaluated for performance analysis. Furthermore, the optimal power allocation is also considered. Our numerical and simulation results prove that the implementation of multiple antennas helps boost the energy harvesting capability. Therefore, this paper puts forward a new way to the energy efficiency (EE) enhancement, which contributes to better system performance.

본 논문에서는 스마트 그리드 응용 등을 타깃으로 한 3상 4선 전력선 채널상의 MIMO-OFDM 광대역 전력선 통신방식 (BPLC broadband power line communication)을 검토하고 성능을 분석한다. 실제전력선 채널 환경을 감안하여 기존의 확정적 페이딩 채널 모델 (Zimmennann 모델, MTL 모델 등) 대신 통계적 전력선 페이딩 채널 모델을 채택한다. 본 논문에서는 3상 4선식 전력선을 이용한 $2{\times}2$ MIMO 및 $3{\times}3$ MIMO 방식을 설계하며, 특별히 MIMO 채널 내 안테나 링크 간 크로스 토크의 유무에 따른 전송 용량 손실과 이에 의거한 시스템 성능 분석을 실시한다. 부반송파 간 주파수간섭을 줄여주기 위해 공간주파수 부호화 전송방식을 채택하며 전력선 채널에 적합한 최대비 합성법 (MRC maximum ratio combining)으로 다중 안테나 및 다중 경로 페이딩 다이버시티 이득을 얻는다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 임펄스 잡음지수의 변화, 용량 손실 비율의 변화, 서로 다른 수신 신호 합성기법 (최대비 합성, 등가이득 합성, 선택적 함성)에 따른 시스템 성능을 비교분석한다.

In this paper, we investigate the tradeoff between security and reliability for a multi-hop protocol in cluster-based underlay cognitive radio networks. In the proposed protocol, a secondary source communicates with a secondary destination via the multi-hop relay method in the presence of a secondary eavesdropper. To enhance system performance under the joint impact of interference constraint required by multiple primary users and hardware impairments, the best relay node is selected at each hop to relay the source data to the destination. Moreover, the destination is equipped with multiple antennas and employs a selection combining (SC) technique to combine the received data. We derive closed-form expressions of the intercept probability (IP) for the eavesdropping links and the outage probability (OP) for the data links over a Rayleigh fading channel. Finally, the correction of our derivations is verified by Monte-Carlo simulations.

A 2 Gbit/s visible-light communication (VLC) scheme using time-frequency color-clustered (TFCC) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) based on blue, cyan, yellow, and red (BCYR) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is presented. In the proposed scheme, BCYR LEDs are employed to form four different color clusters. Data transmission using the four color clusters is performed in MIMO, so that the scheme achieves a very high speed of data transmission. Moreover, the scheme employs the TFCC strategy to yield high performance in terms of bit error rate (BER). TFCC operates in such a way that the original data and the two delayed versions of the data are multiplied by orthogonal frequencies and then transmitted using a specific color of the BCYR LED. In the receiver, color filters are employed to detect the data transmitted from the desired cluster. Selection combining (SC) is also performed to yield a diversity effect within each color cluster, to further improve the performance. Performance evaluation demonstrates that the proposed TFCC MIMO VLC offers a data rate of 2 Gbit/s and a bit error rate of 4×10^-5, at an E_b/N_o value of merely 3 dB.

기회전송 증가 릴레이 시스템은 무선채널의 페이딩을 효과적으로 극복하고 무선 자원을 효율적으로 사용할 수 있는 장점을 갖는다. 그러나 지금까지 기회전송 증가 릴레이 시스템 연구에서는 릴레이의 위치가 공간적으로 고정되어 있는 것을 가정하였다. 일반적으로 모바일 환경에서는 사용자 터미널이 릴레이로 사용되는데, 사용자 터미널은 계속해서 움직이기 때문에 고정된 릴레이를 가정하는 것은 현실적이지 않다. 따라서 본 논문은 공간적으로 랜덤하게 분포된 사용자 터미널의 위치를 포아송 포인트 프로세스 (Poisson point process)로 모델링하고, 기회전송 증가 릴레이 시스템의 성능을 유도하였다. 유도 결과 릴레이가 랜덤하게 분포된 경우에도 릴레이가 고정된 경우와 마찬가지로 시스템의 성능이 향상되었으며, 릴레이의 밀도와 송수신 각도가 시스템의 성능에 영향을 주는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 최대비 결합과 선택결합 수신방법에 따른 시스템의 성능을 비교하였다.

A total of 290 pork loins were selected to include a wide variation of quality to investigate the quality categories into which most pork falls, selection criteria for these categories and methods to objectively assess ultimate pork quality. They were probed at 24 h postmortem (PM) for the following: A) light reflectance by Danish Meat Quality Marbling (MQM), Hennessy Grading Probe (HGP) and Sensoptic Invasive Probe (SIP); B) electrical properties by NWK LT-K21 conductivity (NLT) and Sensoptic Resistance Probe (SRP): and C) pH by NWK pH-K21 (NpH). Also, measurements of % drip loss (PDL) and filter paper wetness (FPW), color brightness (L*), ultimate pH (pHu), lipid content, subjective color (SC), firmness/wetness (SF) and marbling scores (SM) were assessed. Each loin was categorized as either pale, soft and exudative (PSE), reddish-pink, soft and exudative (RSE), reddish-pink, firm and non-exudative (RFN) or dark, firm and dry (DFD). Statistically comparing coefficients of determination (CD), the results indicated that overall, the HGP predicted quality groups slightly better than MQM (CD=71 and 62% respectively), NpH and SRP were less effective (CD= 56 and 44% respectively), and SIP and NLT had the lowest values (CD=36 and 5% respectively). Combining various independent variable did not greatly improve the variation accounted for. When the data was sorted into marbling groups based on lipid content, this was not accurately predicted by any of the probe measurements. The MQM probe remained the best predictor for marbling class and accounted for about 25% of the lipid content variation. This was slightly improved to 33% when pHu was combined with MQM.
