Furthermore, by means of the initialization via the propagator method, this paper accelerates the convergence procedure of the proposed algorithm with no estimation performance degradation. In addition, the proposed algorithm can be directly applied to the multiple-source scenario,where sources have different angular distribution shapes. Numerical simulation results corroborate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed fast PARAFAC-based algorithm.展开更多

In addition, most of them are designed for special angular signal distribution functions. As a result, their performances will degenerate when deal with different sources with different angular signal distribution functions or unknown angular signal distribution functions. In this paper, a low-complexity decoupled DOAs estimation method without searching using two parallel uniform linear arrays (ULAs) is proposed for coherently distributed sources, as well as a novel parameter matching method. It can resolve the problems mentioned above efficiently. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of our approach.展开更多

The protocol can be implemented by a weak coherent source. The security of this protocol with a simply characterized source has been proved. The application of a common phase shift can improve the secret key rate of the protocol. In practice, the randomized phase is discrete and the secret key rate is deviated from the continuous case. In this study, we analyze security of the RRDPS protocol with discrete-phase-randomized coherent state source and bound the secret key rate. We fix the length of each packet at 32 and 64, then simulate the secret key rates of the RRDPS protocol with discrete-phase randomization and continuous-phase randomization. Our simulation results show that the performance of the discrete-phase randomization case is close to the continuous counterpart with only a small number of discrete phases. The research is practically valuable for experimental implementation.展开更多
