Fortunately, advanced automatic speech recognition technology has emerged as a promising means of preventing miscommunications and enhancing aviation safety. However, most existing speech recognition methods merely incorporate external language models on the decoder side, leading to insufficient semantic alignment between speech and text modalities during the encoding phase. Furthermore, it is challenging to model acoustic context dependencies over long distances due to the longer speech sequences than text, especially for the extended ATCC data. To address these issues, we propose a speech-text multimodal dual-tower architecture for speech recognition. It employs cross-modal interactions to achieve close semantic alignment during the encoding stage and strengthen its capabilities in modeling auditory long-distance context dependencies. In addition, a two-stage training strategy is elaborately devised to derive semantics-aware acoustic representations effectively. The first stage focuses on pre-training the speech-text multimodal encoding module to enhance inter-modal semantic alignment and aural long-distance context dependencies. The second stage fine-tunes the entire network to bridge the input modality variation gap between the training and inference phases and boost generalization performance. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed speech-text multimodal speech recognition method on the ATCC and AISHELL-1 datasets. It reduces the character error rate to 6.54% and 8.73%, respectively, and exhibits substantial performance gains of 28.76% and 23.82% compared with the best baseline model. The case studies indicate that the obtained semantics-aware acoustic representations aid in accurately recognizing terms with similar pronunciations but distinctive semantics. The research provides a novel modeling paradigm for semantics-aware speech recognition in air traffic control communications, which could contribute to the advancement of intelligent and efficient aviation safety management.展开更多

In this paper, we attempt to tackle two challenges of UAV communication respectively on establishing reliable CNPC links against the high mobility of UAVs as well as changeable communication conditions, and on offering dynamic resource optimization for Quality-of-Service(QoS) guaranteed payload communication with variable link connectivity. Firstly, we propose the concept of air controlling center(ACC), a virtual application equipped on the infrastructure in SAGINs, which can collect global information for estimating UAV trajectory and communication channels. We then introduce the knapsack problem for modelling resource optimization of UAV communication in order to provide optimal access points for both CNPC and payload communication. Meanwhile, using the air controlling information, predictive decision algorithm and handover strategy are introduced for the reliable connection with multiple access points. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposal ensures an approximate always-on reliable accessing of communication links and outperforms the existing methods against high mobility,sparse distribution, and physical obstacles.展开更多

Taking the maximum allowed transmit power and the minimum data rate requirement into consideration, we formulate the energy efficiency maximization problem as a non-concave fractional programming(FP) problem and then develop a two-loop iterative algorithm to solve it. In the outer loop, we adopt Dinkelbach method to equivalently transform the FP problem into a series of parametric subtractive-form problems, and in the inner loop we solve the parametric subtractive problems based on successive convex approximation and geometric programming method to obtain the solutions satisfying the KarushKuhn-Tucker conditions. Simulation results demonstrate the validity and efficiency of the proposed scheme, and illustrate the impact of different parameters on system performance.展开更多

A multi-ECU calibration system was developed based on the explicit calibration protocol (XCP) and J1939 communication protocol to satisfy the need of calibrating multiple ECUs simultaneously. The messages in the controller area network (CAN) are defined in the J1939 protocol. Each CAN node can get its own calibration messages and information from other ECUs, and block other messages by qualifying the CAN messages with priority, source or destination address. The data field of the calibration message is designed with the XCP, with CAN acting as the transport layer. The calibration sessions are setup with the event-triggered XCP driver in the master node and the responding XCP driver in the slave nodes. Mirroring calibration variables from ROM to RAM enables the user to calibrate ECUs online. The application example shows that the multi-ECU calibration system can calibrate multiple ECUs simultaneously, and the main program can also accomplish its calculation and send commands to the actuators in time. By the multi-ECU calibration system, the calibration effort and time can be reduced and the variables in ECU can get a better match with the variables of other ECUs.展开更多

The analysis allows to derive the performance of TCP, the utilization tends to 75% of the bottleneck throughput when the bandwidth×propagation delay pipe becomes very large, while it tends to 100% when the queuing delays are predominant because the queue is never empty. In the transient analysis we show how the initial phase of the session can degrade the performances. These results are proved through simulation.展开更多

This paper analyzes the interaction between TCP and link layer retransmission scheme when the correlated packet are losses handled, indicates that a higher value of the maximum number of successive link layer timeout retransmissions has an adverse effect on TCP ability to perform congestion control rapidly. To achieve a better TCP performance, the paper proposes a strategy combining link-layer selective-reject automatic repeat request (ARQ) with explicit loss notification mechanism, which can respond to congestion quickly while keeping wireless link more reliable, and make TCP react to the different packet losses more suitably.展开更多

文摘In air traffic control communications (ATCC), misunderstandings between pilots and controllers could result in fatal aviation accidents. Fortunately, advanced automatic speech recognition technology has emerged as a promising means of preventing miscommunications and enhancing aviation safety. However, most existing speech recognition methods merely incorporate external language models on the decoder side, leading to insufficient semantic alignment between speech and text modalities during the encoding phase. Furthermore, it is challenging to model acoustic context dependencies over long distances due to the longer speech sequences than text, especially for the extended ATCC data. To address these issues, we propose a speech-text multimodal dual-tower architecture for speech recognition.

文摘This work explores the behavior of both TCP-Reno and TCP-Sack under a simple scenario, where a single TCP source transmits the packets continuously over a single bottleneck node characterized by its queue size, bandwidth and propagation delay. The analysis allows to derive the performance of TCP, the utilization tends to 75% of the bottleneck throughput when the bandwidth×propagation delay pipe becomes very large, while it tends to 100% when the queuing delays are predominant because the queue is never empty. In the transient analysis we show how the initial phase of the session can degrade the performances. These results are proved through simulation.

文摘In order to support the mobility of computers during communication, the transport control protocol (TCP) connections between fixed host and mobile host often traverse wired and wireless networks, and the recovery of the losses due to wireless transmission error is much different from congestion control. This paper analyzes the interaction between TCP and link layer retransmission scheme when the correlated packet are losses handled, indicates that a higher value of the maximum number of successive link layer timeout retransmissions has an adverse effect on TCP ability to perform congestion control rapidly. To achieve a better TCP performance, the paper proposes a strategy combining link-layer selective-reject automatic repeat request (ARQ) with explicit loss notification mechanism, which can respond to congestion quickly while keeping wireless link more reliable, and make TCP react to the different packet losses more suitably.

文摘Design of an effective congestion control scheme is a hot topic in the development of compute network. The flow control scheme can adjust the packet sending rate in source host, thus effectively avoiding the network congestion. This paper proposes a flow control scheme based on discrete control theory. The simulation results show that this method can adjust the sending rate and queue level in buffer rapidly and effectively. The method is easy to implement and applicable to high speed networks.
