This control system makes use of the amplitude enhancement of alpha-wave blocking in electroencephalogram(EEG) when eyes close for more than 1 s to constitute a BCI for the switch control of wheelchair movements. The system was formed by BCI control panel, data acquisition, signal processing unit and interface control circuit. Eight volunteers participated in the wheelchair control experiments according to the preset routes. The experimental results show that the mean success control rate of all the subjects was 81.3%, with the highest reaching 93.7%. When one subject's triggering time was 2.8 s, i.e., the flashing time of each cycle light was 2.8 s, the average information transfer rate was 8.10 bit/min, with the highest reaching 12.54 bit/min.展开更多

To maximize the information rate from the user to the AP, we derive the closed form expression of the optimal power splitting(PS) factor, and the time allocation scheme to obtain the optimal time switching(TS) factor. Simulation results show that for both PS and TS protocols, the proposed DF based bidirectional relay systems can improve the information rate as compared with the amplify-and-forward(AF) based bidirectional relay systems.展开更多

Its effect on the ＂quality＂ of detector＇s soft output value is evaluated by measuring mutual information under ergodic channel. The result shows a length 40 list is adequate for a 4×4 16QAM MIMO system without system-level iteration. For the ergodic channel, the gain of a sphere detector over the linear MMSE detector is dependent on channel coding rate, which answers an important question when sphere detector should he used in system level design. All these theoretical results are then verified by Monte Carlo simulation.展开更多

To efficiently support information transmission over the Interact, information cen- tric architecture has been recently proposed. In this paper, we consider an information centric architecture, called the data centric networking architecture to provide communication servi- ces to big data, where a service identifier is used to name the data objects. We propose dif- ferent approaches for the dissemination of data objects in a large-scale data centric network. In particular, we propose various approaches to link the data dissemination approach with the topology of the Internet. Further, we eva- luate the proposed approaches with respect to data delivery efficiency, round-trip time imp- rovement, and deployment cost. Based on the results obtained from this study, it can be sh- own that by disseminating data objects to small ISPs, the data delivery efficiency can be significantly improved within an acceptable deployment cost.展开更多
