Mitigation of Optical Multipath Interference Algorithms in IM-DD Transmission System

This paper aimed to propose two algorithms,DA-M and RF-M,of reducing the impact of multipath interference(MPI)on intensity modulation direct detection(IM-DD)systems,particularly for four-level pulse amplitude modulation(PAM4)systems.DA-M reduced the fluctuation by averaging the signal in blocks,RF-M estimated MPI by subtracting the decision value of the corresponding block from the mean value of a signal block,and then generated interference-reduced samples by subtracting the interference signal from the product of the corresponding MPI estimate and then weighting factor.This paper firstly proposed to separate the signal before decision-making into multiple blocks,which significantly reduced the complexity of DA-M and RF-M.Simulation results showed that the MPI noise of 28 GBaud IMDD system under the linewidths of 1e5 Hz,1e6 Hz and 10e6 Hz can be effectively alleviated.

Improving Network Availability through Optimized Multipath Routing and Incremental Deployment Strategies

Currently,distributed routing protocols are constrained by offering a single path between any pair of nodes,thereby limiting the potential throughput and overall network performance.This approach not only restricts the flow of data but also makes the network susceptible to failures in case the primary path is disrupted.In contrast,routing protocols that leverage multiple paths within the network offer a more resilient and efficient solution.Multipath routing,as a fundamental concept,surpasses the limitations of traditional shortest path first protocols.It not only redirects traffic to unused resources,effectively mitigating network congestion,but also ensures load balancing across the network.This optimization significantly improves network utilization and boosts the overall performance,making it a widely recognized efficient method for enhancing network reliability.To further strengthen network resilience against failures,we introduce a routing scheme known as Multiple Nodes with at least Two Choices(MNTC).This innovative approach aims to significantly enhance network availability by providing each node with at least two routing choices.By doing so,it not only reduces the dependency on a single path but also creates redundant paths that can be utilized in case of failures,thereby enhancing the overall resilience of the network.To ensure the optimal placement of nodes,we propose three incremental deployment algorithms.These algorithms carefully select the most suitable set of nodes for deployment,taking into account various factors such as node connectivity,traffic patterns,and network topology.By deployingMNTCon a carefully chosen set of nodes,we can significantly enhance network reliability without the need for a complete overhaul of the existing infrastructure.We have conducted extensive evaluations of MNTC in diverse topological spaces,demonstrating its effectiveness in maintaining high network availability with minimal path stretch.The results are impressive,showing that even when implemented on just 60%of nodes,our incremental deployment method significantly boosts network availability.This underscores the potential of MNTC in enhancing network resilience and performance,making it a viable solution for modern networks facing increasing demands and complexities.The algorithms OSPF,TBFH,DC and LFC perform fast rerouting based on strict conditions,while MNTC is not restricted by these conditions.In five real network topologies,the average network availability ofMNTCis improved by 14.68%,6.28%,4.76%and 2.84%,respectively,compared with OSPF,TBFH,DC and LFC.

Physical-Layer Key Generation Based on Multipath Channel Diversity Using Dynamic Metasurface Antennas

Physical layer key generation(PKG)technology leverages the reciprocal channel randomness to generate the shared secret keys.The low secret key capacity of the existing PKG schemes is due to the reduction in degree-of-freedom from multipath fading channels to multipath combined channels.To improve the wireless key generation rate,we propose a multipath channel diversity-based PKG scheme.Assisted by dynamic metasurface antennas(DMA),a two-stage multipath channel parameter estimation algorithm is proposed to efficiently realize super-resolution multipath parameter estimation.The proposed algorithm first estimates the angle of arrival(AOA)based on the reconfigurable radiation pattern of DMA,and then utilizes the results to design the training beamforming and receive beamforming to improve the estimation accuracy of the path gain.After multipath separation and parameter estimation,multi-dimensional independent path gains are utilized for generating secret keys.Finally,we analyze the security and complexity of the proposed scheme and give an upper bound on the secret key capacity in the high signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)region.The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can greatly improve the secret key capacity compared with the existing schemes.

Modeling GPS multipath effect based on spherical cap harmonic analysis

Most GPS positioning errors can be eliminated or removed by the differential technique or the modeling method,but the multipath effect is a special kind of system or gross error,so it is difficult to be simulated or eliminated.In order to improve the accuracy of GPS positioning,the single-epoch pseudorange multipath effects at GPS station were calculated,and firstly modeled based on the spherical cap harmonic（SCH）,which is the function of satellite longitude and latitude with the robust method.The accuracy of the kinematic point positioning technique was improved by correcting pseudorange observations with the multipath effect calculated by the SCH model,especially in the elevation direction.The spherical cap harmonic can be used to model the pseudorange multipath effect.

Hybrid particle filtering algorithm for GPS multipath mitigation

An altemative algorithm for mitigating GPS multipath was presented by integrating unscented Kalman filter （UKF） and wavelet transform with particle filter. Within consideration of particle degeneracy, UKF was taken for drawing particle. To remove the noise from raw data and data processing error, adaptive wavelet filtering with threshold was adopted while data preprocessing and drawing particle. Three algorithms, named EKF-PF, UKF-PF and WM-UKF-PF, were performed for comparison. The proposed WM-UKF-PF algorithm gives better error minimization, and significantly improves performance of multipath mitigation in terms of SNR and coefficient even though it has computation complexity. It is of significance for high-accuracy positioning and non-stationary deformation analysis.

Multipath mitigation method for tracking Galileo signals

In order to improve the performance of multipath mitigation in tracking Galileo signals, a new multipath mitigation method named early-late strobe correlator （ELSC） is proposed. By applying the strobe correlator used widely in global positioning system （GPS） scenarios to Galileo E1 signals, it can be found that the strobe correlator has an undesirable level of performance when the delay of multipath signals is about 0. 5 chip. Combining several strobe correlators, the ELSC can effectively mitigate the multipath effect especially for the multipath signals with the 0. 5 chip delay. The multipath error envelopes between the strobe correlator and the ELSC are compared for Galileo E1 signals. The simulation results indicate that the ELSC performs excellently on multipath mitigation, and can be applied in both Galileo scenarios and GPS scenarios.

Multipath Source Self Repair Routing Algorithm for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

A multipath source self repair routing (MSSRR) algorithm for mobile ad hoc networks is proposed. By using multiple paths which can be repaired by themselves to transmit packets alternately, the network's load is balanced, the link state in the network can be checked in time, the number of the times the route discovery mechanism starts is decreased. If only one route which will be broken can be used to transmit the packets, the route discovery mechanism is restarted.The algorithm is implemented on the basis of dynamic source routing (DSR). The effect of MSSRR on lifetime of the access from the source to the destination and the overhead is discussed. Compared with the performance of DSR,it can be seen that the algorithm can improve the performance of the network obviously and the overhead almost does not increase if the average hop count is larger.

A comparison analysis of multipath extract methods in short-baseline applications of GPS

In order to eliminate the multipath errors existing in static short-baseline applications, a novel de-noising method based on a singular spectrum analysis （named as DSSA） is introduced to extract multipath signals. The multipath error is extracted from the double difference （DD） residuals by DSSA and then applied to the correct multipath error in subsequent measurements based on the correlation among adjacent epochs. Methods based on discrete wavelet transform （DWT） and stationary wavelet transform （SWT） are introduced as comparisons of DSSA based on analysis of a simulated signal. Real baseline residuals are tested to verify different extract methods. Results show that compared with the SWT, the DSSA improves the root mean square （RMS） of the residual by 48.6% and achieves a time reduction of 75.3%.

Reachability-Based Packet Scheduler of Multipath QUIC for Heterogeneous Mobile Networks

In recent years, we need more bandwidth to enjoy entertainment contents such as video streaming, music and online gaming. To gain enough bandwidth, technologies that combine bandwidth by using multiple interfaces at same time are desired. Multipath transport protocols which combine multiple paths for packet delivery at the transport layer are a promising technology. Such protocols have a mechanism, called “packet scheduler”, to select the interface to send a packet. However, existing studies of the packet scheduler have not explicitly considered the compatibility of mobility with bonding of bandwidth. Therefore, when smartphone users move out of coverage of communication networks such as wireless Local Area Network (LAN) and Long Term Evolution (LTE) by vehicle, packet loss occurs, leading to a decrease of throughput. In this study, we propose a packet scheduler that selects an appropriate communication path so that packets can reach the peer before it moves out of the coverage. Based on routes of a vehicle and the position and communication range of the access point, the time at which a communication path will be lost is predicted. In addition, we employ MPQUIC (Multipath QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connections)), which is a multipath transport protocol proposed as the extension of QUIC protocol, to reduce the ACK packet loss in multipath communication, and to reduce the time until the starts of retransmission. We evaluated the number of packet losses, the throughput and the time until starts of retransmission using a simulator and show the superiority of proposed method.

Investigation in this field are not new, understanding and mitigating multipath effects on GPS receivers will lead to an important level where the system can be used within a desired tolerance reducing its errors due to more accurate positioning solution.

HiQoS:An SDN-Based Multipath QoS Solution

Today's Internet architecture provides only "best effort" services,thus it cannot guarantee quality of service(QoS) for applications.Software Defined Network(SDN)is a new approach to computer networking that separates control plane and forwarding planes,and has the advantage of centralized control and programmability.In this paper,we propose HiQoS that provides QoS guarantees using SDN.Moreover,HiQoS makes use of multiple paths between source and destination and queuing mechanisms to guarantee QoS for different types of traffic.Experimental results show that our HiQoS scheme can reduce delay and increase throughput to guarantee QoS.Very importantly,HiQoS recovers from link failure very quickly by rerouting traffic from failed path to other available path.

Novel adaptive Hatch filter to mitigate the effects of ionosphere and multipath on LAAS

It has been proven that carrier smoothing and differential global positioning system （DGPS） are effective to improve the accuracy of pseudorange by reducing the noise in it and eliminating almost all the common mode errors between the ground station and user. However, another issue coming with local area augmentation system （LAAS） is how to find an adaptive smoothing window width to minimize the error on account of ionosphere delay and multipath. Based on the errors analysis in carrier smoothing process, a novel algorithm is formulated to design adaptive Hatch filter whose smoothing window width flexibly varies with the characteristic of ionosphere delay and multipath in the differential carrier smoothing process. By conducting the simulation in LAAS and after compared with traditional Hatch filers, it reveals that not only the accuracy of differential correction, but also the accuracy and the robustness of positioning results are significantly improved by using the designed adaptive Hatch filter.

GPS short-delay multipath estimation and mitigation based on least square method

The GPS multipath signal model is presented, which indicates that the coherent DLL outputs in multipath environment are the convolution between the ideal DLL outputs and the channel responses. So the channel responses can be estimated by a least square method using the observed curve of the DLL discriminator. In terms of the estimated multipath channels, two multipath mitigation methods are discussed, which are equalization filtering and multipath subtracting, respectively. It is shown, by computer simulation, that the least square method has a good performance in channels estimation and the multipath errors can be mitigated almost completely by either of the methods. However, the multipath subtracting method has relative small remnant errors than equalization filtering.

Energy Based Ultra-Wideband Multipath Routing Algorithm in Ad Hoc Sensor Networks

The Energy based Ultra-Wideband Multipath Routing(EUMR) algorithm for Ad hoc sensor network is proposed. It utilizes the function of UWB positioning to reduce the network communication delay and route overhead. Furthermore,the algorithm considers energy consumption,the residual energy and node hops of communication paths to make energy consumption more balanced and extend the network lifetime. Then routing which is stable,energy-saving and low-delay is realized. Simulation results show that the algorithm has better performance on saving energy,route overhead,stability and extending network lifetime.

Energy Entropy On-Demand Multipath Routing Protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

This paper provides a critical review of energy entropy theory in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) and proposes an Energy Entropy on Ad Hoc On-demand Distance Vector Multipath (EEAODVM) routing protocol. The essential idea of the protocol is to find every route which can minimize the node residual energy in the process of selecting path. It balances individual node battery energy utilization and hence prolongs the entire network lifetime. The results of simulation show that, with the proposed EEAODVM routing protocol, packet delivery ratio, routing overhead ratio, average end-to-end delay, network's lifetime and minimal residual energy ratio can be improved in most of cases. It is an available approach for multipath routing decision.

A multipath routing protocol for wireless sensor network for mine security monitoring

Underground mining is a hazardous industrial activity. In order to provide a safe working environment for miners, a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technology has been used for security monitoring. It can provide a wide range of surveillance with a relatively low cost. In this study, an Energy-Based Multipath Routing (EBMR) protocol is proposed, which considers residual energy capacity and link quality in choosing hops and routing paths. Hops and paths with a high residual energy capacity and link quality will have the best chance to be selected to transmit data packages. Since the EBMR stores several routes in the routing table, when the current path fails, another path will be chosen to fulfill the task immediately. In this way, EBMR improves reliability and decrease time latency. Compared to AOMDV and REAR, EBMR decreases time latency by 51% and 12%.

Cross-correlation function based multipath mitigation technique for cosine-BOC signals

We propose a new multipath mitigation technique based on cross-correlation function for the new cosine phased binary off-set carrier （cosine-BOC） modulated signals, which will most likely be employed in both European Galileo system and Chinese Compass system. This technique is implemented to create an optimum cross-correlation function via designing the modulated symbols of the local signal. And the structure of the code tracking loop for cosine-BOC signals is quite simple including only two real correlators. Results demonstrate that the technique efficiently eliminates the ranging errors in the medium and long multipath regions with respect to the conventional receiver correlation techniques.

Anonymous multipath routing protocol based on secret sharing in mobile ad hoc networks

Because the intrinsic characteristics of mobile ad hoc networks（MANETs） cause several vulnerabilities,anonymous routing protocols attract much more attention in secure mobile ad hoc networks for the purposes of security and privacy concerns.Until recently,lots of anonymous routing protocols have been proposed.However,most of them are single path or use one path at a time,and the multipath schemes can not thwart both the passive attacks and active attacks simultaneously.Thus an anonymous multipath routing protocol based on secret sharing is proposed.The protocol provides identity anonymity,location anonymity,data and traffic anonymity by employing cryptograph technology and secret sharing in MANET communication process.Meanwhile,a hash function is introduced to detect active attacks in the data transmission process.The protocol can effectively thwart various passive attacks and reduce the successful probability of active attacks（such as interception and physical destroy attacks）.Simulation results show that the proposed scheme provides a reasonably good level of network security and performance.
