Dempster’s rule of combination is the most popular rule of combinations, but it is a poor solution for the management of the conflict between various information sources at the normalization step. Even when it faces high conflict information, the classical Dempster-Shafer’s (D-S) evidence theory can involve counter-intuitive results. This paper presents a modified averaging method to combine conflicting evidence based on the distance of evidences; and also gives the weighted average of the evidence in the system. Numerical examples showed that the proposed method can realize the modification ideas and also will provide reasonable results with good convergence efficiency.展开更多

Considering the application limitation of Likelihood Ratio Test fusion rule based on information of Channel Statistics using Series expansion (LRT-CSS),and the detection performance limitation of the Censoring based Mixed Fusion rule (CMF),a new LRT fusion rule based on information of channel statistics has been presented using Laplace approximation (LRT-CSL). Theoretical analysis and simulations show that the proposed fusion rule provides better detection performance than the Censoring based Mixed Fusion (CMF) and LRT-CSS fusion rules. Furthermore,compared with LRT-CSS fusion rule,the proposed fusion rule expands the application range of likelihood ratio test fusion rule.展开更多
