According to the relationship between coherence time and Doppler frequency, an information frame is divided into several segments. At the beginning of each segment, the user selection is carded out with the greedy selection algorithm. In the simplified user selection algorithms employing the temporal correlation (SUSTC), the selection results are applied for all the remaining slots in each segment. But in the improved simplified user selection algorithms employing the temporal correlation(ISUSTC), at the remaining slots, users are kept with favorable channel conditions selected at the previous slot, and other users are updated from the candidate pool to communicate simultaneously. Simulations show that compared with the greedy user selection method, the proposed algorithms can reduce the selection complexity with a little sum capacity loss.展开更多

By innovative use of the attenuator, the linearity handling ability of the system is dramatically improved. The system is designed and fabricated in SMIC 0.18 μm RF CMOS technology. The measurement data show that the front-end provides a total of more than 30rib dynamic range and a noise figure of 5dB in the wide frequency signal band. The prototype front-end consumes only 10mA and achieves an IIP3 of + 20dBm.展开更多

Based on the two kinds of Gaussian estimation error models, the performance analysis is conducted under different power allocation strategies. Analysis and simulation show that if the covariance of channel estimation errors is independent of the received Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), imperfect channel knowledge deteriorates the sum capacity and the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance severely. However, under the situation of orthogonal training and the Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) channel estimation, the sum ca- pacity and BER performance are consistent with those of the perfect Channel State Information (CSI) with only a performance degradation.展开更多

The normal digital TV receiver can only receive and decode the pay TV programs scrambled by one specific CAS. In this paper, the authors proposed a smartcard conditional access interface (SCAI) scheme in order to make the digital TV receiver be a common receiving platform independent of any specific CAS employed at the broadcasting head-end. As a result, it only needs to include a common condi-tional access software package (CCAP) without any requirement of hardware modification in the receiver. Comparison between the two mentioned DVB-CI-based schemes showed that the cost of such kind receiver is greatly reduced. The main design points of the proposed scheme and its reference implementation’s architecture are presented in this paper. This scheme is also one of the candidate national standards for Chinese digital TV broadcasting industry.展开更多

Aiming at the disadvantage that the current Peer-to-Peer (P2P) is hard to manage and control, this paper presents a Session Initial Protocol (SIP)-based P2P network of three-level architecture. SIP middleware is introduced to the middle level of the three-layer architecture. By the connection function of the SIP signaling, the P2P transmission on media-level can be controlled. Using SIP’s register and authentication function, the manage layer can manage the whole P2P network. Based on the aforementioned architecture, this paper investigates the grouping strategy on a live broadcast application in P2P network. Combined with the function of SIP register, the paper works on several grouping strategies, sets up models to manage users by grouping them, presents a weight-based K-means IP address grouping algorithm, and realizes it. The experiment shows that the grouping strategy presented in this paper can solve the problem of group sharing of network resource, and can realize the efficient-sharing, reasonable-distributing of network resource.展开更多

This letter proves that a node must be a CDS node, if its neighbors with larger keys cannot cover it together.Then a simple distributed CDS construction algorithm is proposed, which is more effective than the existing algorithms in reducing the dominating set size and the computation complexity at the same time. Simulation results also confirm this, especially in relatively dense networks.展开更多

The key to the proposed broadcast scheduling algorithm is the time slot scheduling algorithm which guarantees collisi~)n-free transmissions for every node and the mini- mum frame length. The proposed algorithm increases the simultaneous transmissions of MIMO links efficiently. Due to the interference null capacity of MIMO links, the interference node set of each node can decrease from two-hop neighbors to one-hop neighbors possibly. Simulation results show that our algorithm can greatly improve network capacity and decrease average packet delay.展开更多

Health reporting or health news is an aspect of health communication through which the audiences are informed of all matters relating to their total well-being. In this paper, the authors investigated news reporting among broadcast outfits in Lagos-Nigeria as a measure to monitor or watchdog and report the reporter to his clients. The investigation was in two parts: One looked at his strategies in covering and reporting health in the environment; while the other examined news bulletins to subject its health news to a content analysis. The study revealed that health is a neglected concern in broadcast reporting with trigger or vulture approach/practice among broadcast outfits.展开更多
