The analytic relationship between the powers and the correlation matrix of multipath components established the feasibility of the application of the MDL criterion to RDS estimation. The estimator presented both the estimate of instantaneous RDS and the estimates of noise variance, channel power and SNR of current channel with low computational complexity. Given the powers of the estimated multipath components, the MDL criterion was adopted to acquire the number of paths and the time delays of each path of current channel without making eigendecomposition of the correlation matrix normally required by MDL criterion, following which the noise variance and the power of each path can be estimated. The power delay profile (PDP) and RDS of the current channel were achieved. Simulation results showed that the proposed estimator was insensitive to variance of SNR and robust against frequency-selectivity.展开更多

To obtain an effective balance between performance and complexity, the whole channel response matrix was decomposed into a sequence of submatrix, and then a novel equalizer based on minimum mean square error （MMSE） criterion was presented to combat the ICI. Furthermore, a simple ordering-based decision-feedback equalizer （DFE） Was derived to exploit the temperal diversity gain offered by mobile channels. Numerical studies illustrate that although the MMSE equalizer still suffers from error floor, whereas the DICE equalizer exhibits significant performance improvement. The advantage of the proposed scheme indicates its potential applications in the future broadband wireless systems.展开更多

The authors first prove that selecting a set of I sensors that minimize the estimation error under the D-optimal criterion is NP-complete. The authors propose an iterative algorithm to pursue a suboptimal solution. Furthermore, in order to improve the bandwidth and energy efficiency of the wireless sensor networks, the authors propose a best linear unbiased estimator for a Gaussian random field with quantized measurements and study the corresponding sensor selection problem. In the case of unknown covariance matrix, the authors propose an estimator for the covariance matrix using measurements and also analyze the sensitivity of this estimator. Simulation results show the good performance of the proposed algorithms.展开更多

We show that the new criterion can select the true mean model and a correct variance model with probability tending to 1 under mild conditions. Simulation studies and a real example are presented to evaluate the new criterion, and it turns out that the proposed approach performs well.展开更多

Variable selection is an important issue in all regression analysis. In this paper, the authors first propose the estimation methods to select the significant variables, and then prove the asymptotic behavior of the proposed estimator. Furthermore, the authors discuss the computing algorithm to assess the proposed estimator via the linear function approximation and generalized cross validation method for determination of the tuning parameters. Finally, the finite sample estimation for the asymptotical covariance matrix is also proposed.展开更多

This paper points out that the construction of IND-CCA2 secure schemes is essentially to bridge these gaps. These gaps are categorized, analyzed and measured. Finally the methods to bridge these gaps are described. This explains the existing design approaches and gives an intuition about the difficulty of designing IND-CCA2 secure public key encryption schemes based on different types of assumptions.展开更多
