User Fairness Scheme with Proportional Fair Scheduling in Multi-user MIMO Limited Feedback System

In Multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) downlink system, suitable user selection schemes can improve spatial diversity gain. In most of previous studies, it is always assumed that the base station (BS) knows full channel state information (CSI) of each user, which does not consider the reality. However, there are only limited feedback bits in real system. Besides, user fairness is often ignored in most of current user selection schemes. To discuss the user fairness and limited feedback, in this paper, the user selection scheme with limited feedback bits is proposed. The BS utilizes codebook precoding transmitting strategy with LTE codebook. Furthermore, this paper analyzes the influence of the number of feedback bits and the number of users on user fairness and system sum capacity. Simulation results show that in order to achieve better user fairness, we can use fewer bits for feedback CSI when the number of user is small, and more feedback bits when the number of users is large.

Angle-Based Beamforming in mmWave Massive MIMO Systems with Low Feedback Overhead Using Multi-Pattern Codebooks

The integration of millimeter-wave(mmWave)communications and massive multiple input multiple output(MIMO)techniques is a promising solution to dramatically increase the 5G network throughput.By using large antenna arrays,beamforming can be adopted to improve the 5G capacity by employing spatial domain resources.In a frequency division duplexing(FDD)based 5G mmWave MIMO system,beamforming operation requires timely downlink channel state information(CSI)feedback.However,the rapid channel variations caused by short wavelength of mmWave band,and the high-level feedback information required due to the large number of antennas in massive MIMO system lead to the significantly increased beamforming overhead.In this paper,by exploiting the higher angular stability of such channels,we propose an angle-based beamforming scheme to reduce the feedback frequency and the number of feedback bits.To facilitate this approach users are initially selected to reduce the intra-zone interference before beamforming.Besides,location related feedback,which is not affected by the number of antennas,is adopted to reduce overhead.The simulation results show that two proposed user selection algorithms can adapt to scenarios with diverse requirements,while the feedback overhead of proposed angle-based beamforming algorithm is sharply reduce compared with that of CSIbased beamforming algorithm.

Customization Product Design Based on User's Emotion and Needs

The paper presents a design method that ensures the ingenuity of the product form as well as the whole and exact expression of user’s needs. The key idea is to establish an automatic design system which can transform the user’s language needs into the product features in real-time. A rifle was taken as a research instance and soldiers were chosen as evaluation customers. The theory of fuzzy set and semantic difference are adopted to evaluate the relationship between user’s needs and product features as well as their alternatives. FAHP (fuzzy analytic hierarchy process) is utilized to judge the user’s satisfactory forms. This method can also be applied to other product form designs.

Frequent Itemset Mining of User’s Multi-Attribute under Local Differential Privacy

Frequent itemset mining is an essential problem in data mining and plays a key role in many data mining applications.However,users’personal privacy will be leaked in the mining process.In recent years,application of local differential privacy protection models to mine frequent itemsets is a relatively reliable and secure protection method.Local differential privacy means that users first perturb the original data and then send these data to the aggregator,preventing the aggregator from revealing the user’s private information.We propose a novel framework that implements frequent itemset mining under local differential privacy and is applicable to user’s multi-attribute.The main technique has bitmap encoding for converting the user’s original data into a binary string.It also includes how to choose the best perturbation algorithm for varying user attributes,and uses the frequent pattern tree(FP-tree)algorithm to mine frequent itemsets.Finally,we incorporate the threshold random response(TRR)algorithm in the framework and compare it with the existing algorithms,and demonstrate that the TRR algorithm has higher accuracy for mining frequent itemsets.

An Intelligent IEQ Monitoring and Feedback System:Development and Applications

Indoor environmental quality(IEQ)significantly affects human health and wellbeing.Therefore,continuous IEQ monitoring and feedback is of great concern in both the industrial and academic communities.However,most existing studies only focus on developing sensors that cost-effectively promote IEQ measurement while ignoring interactions between the human side and IEQ monitoring.In this study,an intelligent IEQ monitoring and feedback system-the Intelligent Built Enviroment(IBEM)-is developed.Firstly,the IBEM hardware instrument integrates air temperature,relative humidity,CO_(2),particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter no greater than _(2.5)μm(PM_(2.5)),and illuminance sensors within a small device.The accuracy of this integrated device was tested through a co-location experiment with reference sensors;the device exhibited a strong correlation with the reference sensors,with a slight deviation(R^(2)>0.97 and slopes between 1.01 and 1.05).Secondly,a wireless data transmission module,a cloud storage module,and graphical user interfaces(i.e.,a web platform and mobile interface)were built to establish a pathway for dataflow and interactive feedback with the occupants of the indoor environments.Thus,the IEQ parameters can be continuously monitored with a high spatiotemporal resolution,interactive feedback can be induced,and synchronous data collection on occupant satisfaction and objective environmental parameters can be realized.IBEM has been widely applied in 131 buildings in 18cities/areas in China,with 1188 sample locations.Among these applications,we report on the targeted IEQ diagnoses of two individual buildings and the exploration of relationships between subjective and objective IEQ data in detail here.This work demonstrates the great value of IBEM in both industrial and academic research.

Joint Source and Relay Precoding/Beamforming Algorithm for OFDM Multi-user Cooperative Relay Systems

In order to reduce the feedback load of multi-user orthogonal frequency division multiplexing （ OFDM ） -based wireless systems, a practiral limited bits feedback precoding algorithm is proposed with direct source-destination link based on amplify-and- forward cooperative relay network under frequency selective fading channels. Using joint minimum mean square error（MMSE） filter, the receiving decoding matrix is designed for each user in the paper. Source precoding （beamforming） matrix is optimized with convex function of weight mean square error （MSE）. Relay precoding matrix is obtained under MSE decomposition and convex optimization. The precoding matrix index is fed back for clustered subcarrier of OFDM with limited feedback. Then using interpolation algorithm, all precoding matrices are achieved at base station （BS） and relay nodes. Simulations indicate the effectiveness of the proposed limited feedback joint precoding and beam_formlng design. The proposed method can improve bit error rate （BER） performance and obtain better sum-rate performance in contrast to existing algorithms. It displays the BER performance is close to that of the unquantified precoding feedback method.

LMI-based output feedback fuzzy control of chaotic system with uncertainties

This paper studies the robust fuzzy control for nonlinear chaotic system in the presence of parametric uncertainties. An uncertain Takagi-Sugeno （T-S） fuzzy model is employed for fuzzy modelling of an unknown chaotic system. A sufficient condition formulated in terms of linear matrix inequality （LMI） for the existence of fuzzy controller is obtained. Then the output feedback fuzzy-model-based regulator derived from the LMI solutions can guarantee the stability of the closed-loop overall fuzzy system. The T-S fuzzy model of the chaotic Chen system is developed as an example for illustration. The effectiveness of the proposed controller design methodology is finally demonstrated through computer simulations on the uncertain Chen chaotic system.

A Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation Solution Based on User Behavior and Software Defined EPS

For telecommunication operators, how to improve the utilization of bandwidth resources is always a problem which worthy of study, nowadays, this issue has become more and more important, since the traffic load bursting in the mobile Internet. So the key to solving this problem is that we need to find a kind of traffic model to predict the traffic load that users need. According to the predicted traffic load to allocate bandwidth to each base station dynamically.But the traffic consumption behavior of a single base station is random, it is difficult to predict[ 1 ]. For this reason, we based on reality that, when the user moves, it may get traffic load from different base stations, therefore, there will have some kind of relationship between those base stations.We use this relationship to establish a kind of Spatial Collaborative Network.consequently, we make use of stability algorithm to divided those base station cluster into different communities, According to the traffic load usage rules which these communities indicated to us, we get a traffic model.At the same time, we studied bow to use this traffic model in the future networks to dynamically allocate bandwidth resources, then we propose a new kind of EPS architecture based on SDN, on this platform, we can deploy our strategy through it＇s programmable interface.Finally, we designed an experiment to test the performance of our dynamic strategy, and the result shows that our method enables bandwidth utilization has been greatly improved.

User space transformation in deep learning based recommendation

Deep learning based recommendation methods, such as the recurrent neural network based recommendation method(RNNRec) and the gated recurrent unit(GRU) based recommendation method(GRURec), are proposed to solve the problem of time heterogeneous feedback recommendation. These methods out-perform several state-of-the-art methods. However, in RNNRec and GRURec, action vectors and item vectors are shared among users. The different meanings of the same action for different users are not considered. Similarly, different user preference for the same item is also ignored. To address this problem, the models of RNNRec and GRURec are modified in this paper. In the proposed methods, action vectors and item vectors are transformed into the user space for each user firstly, and then the transformed vectors are fed into the original neural networks of RNNRec and GRURec. The transformed action vectors and item vectors represent the user specified meaning of actions and the preference for items, which makes the proposed method obtain more accurate recommendation results. The experimental results on two real-life datasets indicate that the proposed method outperforms RNNRec and GRURec as well as other state-of-the-art approaches in most cases.
