Localization Algorithm of Wireless Sensor Network Based on Concentric Circle Distance Calculation

Node Localization is one of the key technology in the field of wireless sensor network(WSN)that has become a challenging research topic under the lack of distance measurement.In order to solve this problem,a localization algorithm based on concentric circle distance calculation(LACCDC)is proposed.The LA-CCDC takes the beacon as the center of the concentric circle,then divides the task area into concentric circles with the k communication radius of sensor,which forms concentric rings.The node located in the k hops ring intersects the concentric circle with(k−1)r radius that forms an intersection area.This area is used to calculate the distance from the beacon to the unknown node,hyperbola is then adopted to locate the unknown node.In the application scenario with node random distribution,the simulation results show that the LA-CCDC algorithm gets the node location with low error under different node number,different beacons and different communication radius of sensor.

Solution of idle LBO problem for high FAR aero combustor

The paper sheds light on the idle lean blow off(LBO)problem for high fuel air ratio(FAR)com⁃bustor,which is impossible to be addressed with traditional aero combustor design.A significant improvement in aero combustor design is required to resolve the idle LBO issue.The authors detailed a practical and efficient solu⁃tion,which not only solved the idle LBO issue but also defined the aero-thermal design for high-FAR combustor.The design will usher in a new era of aero combustor.

Spectral and Energy Efficiency of Line-of-Sight OAM-MIMO Communication Systems

Not only high spectral efficiency(SE)but also high energy efficiency(EE)are required for future wireless communication systems.Radio orbital angular momentum(OAM)provides a new perspective of mode multiplexing to improve SE.However,there are few studies on the EE performance of OAM mode multiplexing.In this paper,we investigate the SE and EE of a misaligned uniform concentric circle array(UCCA)-based multi-carrier multimode OAM and multiple-input multiple-output(MCMM-OAM-MIMO)system in the line-ofsight(LoS)channel,in which two transceiver architectures implemented by radio frequency(RF)analog synthesis and baseband digital synthesis are considered.The distance and angle of arrival(AoA)estimation are utilized for channel estimation and signal detection,whose training overhead is much less than that of traditional MIMO systems.Simulation results validate that the UCCA-based MCMM-OAM-MIMO system is superior to conventional MIMOOFDM system in the EE and SE performances.

Energy-Efficient Deployment of Water Quality Sensor Networks

Water quality sensor networks are promising tools for the exploration of oceans.Some key areas need to be monitored effectively.Water quality sensors are deployed randomly or uniformly,however,and understanding how to deploy sensor nodes reasonably and realize effective monitoring of key areas on the basis of monitoring the whole area is an urgent problem to be solved.Additionally,energy is limited in water quality sensor networks.When moving sensor nodes,we should extend the life cycle of the sensor networks as much as possible.In this study,sensor nodes in non-key monitored areas are moved to key areas.First,we used the concentric circle method to determine the mobile sensor nodes and the target locations.Then,we determined the relationship between the mobile sensor nodes and the target locations according to the energy matrix.Finally,we calculated the shortest moving path according to the Floyd algorithm,which realizes the redeployment of the key monitored area.The simulation results showed that,compared with the method of direct movement,the proposed method can effectively reduce the energy consumption and save the network adjustment time based on the effective coverage of key areas.

Symmetry distribution of cities in China

The authors of this paper induced five principles of geographical symmetry based on the space distributions of cities and towns in China. There is a symmetry distribution of cities and towns. The symmetry characteristics are the following: (i) the average coordination number of the cities (including large cities, medium cities and county towns) is 6 ( i.g. rotation symmetry); (ii) the distribution of large and medium cities are shown to be the latticework in which two directions are parallel to two main tectonic ones in China, respectively; (iii) the distribution of county towns of a province is also shown to be the latticework in which two directions are parallel to two tectonic ones in this province (i. g. two-dimensional translation ) and (iv) the concentric circle distribution of cities (CCDC) is centered round a large city (i. g. rotation symmetry).

Analysis of the Pencil of Conics with Double Complex Contact and Its Application to Camera Calibration

In this paper, we introduce a novel class of coplanar conics, the pencil of which can doubly contact to calibrate camera and estimate pose. We first analyze the properties of con-axes and con-eccentricity ellipses, which consist of a naturM extending pattern of concentric circles. Then the general case that two ellipses have two repeated complex intersection points is presented. This degenerate configuration results in a one-parameter family of homographies which map the planar pattern to its image. Although it is unable to compute the complete homography, an indirect 3-degree polynomial or 5-degree polynomial constraint on intrinsic parameters from one image can also be used for camera calibration and pose estimation under the minimal conditions. Furthermore, this nonlinear problem can be treated as a polynomial optimization problem （POP） and the global optimization solution can be also obtained by using SparsePOP （a sparse semidefinite programming relaxation of POPs）, Finally, the experiments with simulated data and real images are shown to verify the correctness and robustness of the proposed technique.
