While conventional frequency reuse techniques for cellular communication systems divide frequency resources into multiple regions and each mobile is statically assigned to a certain frequency region, frequency reuse techniques for cellular OFDMA communication systems can be regarded as dynamic scheduling problems of finding best-fitted subcarriers for each packet transmission. Unlike conventional frequency reuse techniques allocating mutually exclusive frequency resources to adjacent cells, this paper proposes the use of a frequency reuse technique with irregular frequency allocation patterns assigned statically based on the cell numbers. This paper shows that the use of irregular frequency patterns can allow efficient interference avoidance and high data throughputs comparable to those with carefully planned frequency patterns.

This paper proposes a low power frequency divider for an integrated CMOS phase-locked loop (PLL). An injection-locked frequency divider (ILFD) was designed, along with a current-mode logic (CML) frequency divider in order to obtain a broadband and high-frequency operation. A ring oscillator was designed to operate at 1.2 GHz, and the ILFD was used to divide the frequency of its input signal by two. The structure of the ILFD is similar to that of the ring oscillator in order to ensure the frequency alignment between the oscillator and the ILFD. The CML frequency divider was used as the second stage of the divider. The proposed frequency divider was applied in a conventional PLL design, using a 0.18 ${\mu}m$ CMOS process. Simulation shows that the proposed divide-by-two ILFD and the divide-by-eight CML frequency dividers operated as expected for an input frequency of 1.2 GHz, with a power consumption of 30 mW.

Single carrier-frequency-division multiple access (SC-FDMA) has been adopted as the uplink transmission standard in fourth-generation cellular networks to facilitate power efficiency transmission in mobile stations. Because multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) is a promising technology employed to fully exploit the channel capacity in mobile radio networks, this study investigates the uplink transmission of MU-MIMO SC-FDMA systems with orthogonal space-frequency block codes (SFBCs). It is preferable to minimize the length of the cyclic prefix (CP). In this study, the chained turbo equalization technique with chained turbo estimation is employed in the designed receiver. Chained turbo estimation employs a short training sequence to improve the spectrum efficiency without compromising the estimation accuracy. In this paper, we propose a novel and spectrally efficient iterative joint-channel estimation, multiuser detection, and turbo equalization for an MU-MIMO SC-FDMA system without CP-insertion and with short TR. Some simulation examples are presented for the uplink scenario to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

The main processes of a cognitive radio system include spectrum sensing, spectrum decision, spectrum sharing, and spectrum conversion. Experimental results show that these stages introduce a time delay that affects the spectrum sensing accuracy, reducing its efficiency. To reduce the time delay, the frequency spectrum prediction was proposed to alleviate the burden on the spectrum sensing. In this paper, the deep recurrent neural network (DRNN) was proposed to predict the spectrum of multiple time slots, since the existing methods only predict the spectrum of one time slot. The continuous state of a channel is divided into a many time slots, forming a time series of the channel state. Since there are more hidden layers in the DRNN than in the RNN, the DRNN has fading memory in its bottom layer as well as in the past input. In addition, the extended Kalman filter was used to train the DRNN, which overcomes the problem of slow convergence and the vanishing gradient of the gradient descent method. The spectrum prediction based on the DRNN was verified with a WiFi signal, and the error of the prediction was analyzed. The simulation results proved that the multiple slot spectrum prediction improved the spectrum efficiency and reduced the energy consumption of spectrum sensing.

This paper investigates the distortion of magnetic field of a brushless DC (BLDC) motor due to deformed rubber magnet. Global or local deformation of rubber magnet in the BLDC motor is mathematically modeled by using the Fourier series. Distorted magnetic field is calculated by using the finite element method, and unbalanced magnetic force are calculated by using the Maxwell stress tensor. The first harmonic deformation in the global deformation of rubber magnet generates the first harmonic driving frequency of the unbalanced magnetic force, and the rest harmonic deformations of rubber magnet except the harmonic deformation with multiple of common divisor of pole and slot introduces the driving frequencies with multiple of slot number ${\pm}1$ to the unbalanced magnetic force. However, the harmonic deformation with multiple of common divisor of pole and slot does not generate unbalanced magnetic force due to the rotational symmetry. When the rubber magnet is locally deformed, the unbalanced magnetic force has the first harmonic driving frequency and the driving frequencies with multiples of slot number ${\pm}1$.

In this paper, the occurrence of a stopband phenomenon when an acoustic wave propagates through periodically corrugated ducts is discussed using theoretical and BEM analyses. A 2-D duct with sinusoidally corrugated upper and lower walls is considered. When the magnitude of the sinusoidal corrugation is sufficiently small compared to the duct's height, the wave equation is solved with the multiple scaling perturbation method. Then stopbands for Bragg and non-Bragg resonances are computed from the condition where frequency becomes a complex number. A 2-D BEM analysis is performed to compute insertion loss of the duct, and stopbands are confirmed as predicted by analytical analysis.

In this paper, an ascheme is proposed for multiuser underwater acoustic communication by using the multi-chirp rate signals. It differs from the well known TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access), FDMA (Frequency Division Multiple Access) or CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access), by assigning each users with different chirp-rate carriers instead of the time, frequency or PN code. Multi-chirp rate signals can be separated from each other by FrFT (Fractional Fourier Transform), which can be regarded as the chirp-based decomposing, and superior to the match filter in the underwater acoustic channel. VTRM (Virtual Time Reverse Mirror) is applied into the system to alleviate the ISI caused by the multipatch and make the equalization more simple. Results of computer simulations and pool experiments prove that the proposed multiuser underwater acoustic communication based on the multi-chirp rate exhibit well performance. Outfield experments carrie out in Xiamen Port show that using about 10 kHz bandwidth, four users could communicate at the same time with 425 bps with low BER and can match the UAC application.

A frequency domain spectroscopic system was constructed to investigate the optical properties of multiple scattering media. The alternating current (AC) and phase lag components of backscattered light were measured by using the heterodyne detection method. Absorption and transport scattering coefficients were computed from the values based on diffusion theory. Predictions showed excellent matches in comparison with actual values of absorption and scattering. Predictable ranges of the optical coefficients were analyzed in terms of the distance between light source and detector, and modulation frequencies. A proposed compact experimental set-up using laser diodes can be utilized to estimate non-invasively the optical properties of multiple scattering media such as biological tissues.

This paper provides a stability analysis of the transverse vibration of a spinning disk under the torque fluctuation from a permanent magnetic motor. An analytical model has been formulated for a flexible annular disk with its spinning velocity varying harmonically with the same frequency as the cogging torque. A perturbation method based on multiple time scales is applied to perform the stability analysis. Based on expressions for the amplitude and frequency of the parametric excitation, stability boundaries are determined in terms of a nominal spindle velocity, the least common multiple of poles and slots, the magnitude of torque fluctuation and the modal characteristics of. the disk. The stability diagrams predicted by perturbation have been verified numerically using the Floquet theory, which is in good agreement. In conclusion, the fluctuation in spinning velocity is found to affect the stability of the transverse vibration of a rotating disks. The results of this work can be applied to high precision spindle systems such as computer storage systems.
