SYMMETRIC INFORMATION RATE OF CPM AND OPTIMAL DETECTOR DESIGN

This paper first calculates numerically the Symmetric Information Rate (SIR) of Cotinuous Phase Modulation (CPM) schemes over Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel, modeling CPM and channel as a Memory-less Modulator (MM) plus a Markov Finite State Channel (FSMC), then proposes an optimal detector, which is of BCJR based Decision Feedback Detector (DFD) but non-iterative. It can achieve the SIR as the sequence length approaches infinity while the complexity is extremely low. Finally, both theoretic proof and numerical simulation are performed to show the op- timality. Simulation results show that it nearly achieves the theoretic bound and outperforms the Viterbi Detector (VD) with 2dB in low Eb/N0.

A load-balanced minimum energy routing algorithm for Wireless Ad Hoc Sensor Networks

Wireless Ad Hoc Sensor Networks (WSNs) have received considerable academia research attention at present. The energy-constraint sensor nodes in WSNs operate on limited batteries, so it is a very important issue to use energy efficiently and reduce power consumption. To maximize the network lifetime, it is essential to prolong each individual node’s lifetime through minimizing the transmission energy consumption, so that many minimum energy routing schemes for traditional mobile ad hoc network have been developed for this reason. This paper presents a novel minimum energy routing algorithm named Load-Balanced Minimum Energy Routing (LBMER) for WSNs considering both sensor nodes’ energy consumption status and the sensor nodes’ hierarchical congestion levels, which uses mixture of energy balance and traffic balance to solve the problem of “hot spots” of WSNs and avoid the situation of “hot spots” sensor nodes using their energy at much higher rate and die much faster than the other nodes. The path router established by LBMER will not be very congested and the traffic will be distributed evenly in the WSNs. Simulation results verified that the LBMER performance is better than that of Min-Hop routing and the existing minimum energy routing scheme MTPR (Total Transmission Power Routing).

Characteristic Analysis of Diffraction from the Restricted Output End Surface of Single Mode Planar Waveguide

As for single mode symmetric step refractive index structure dielectric planar optical waveguide, when its output end is restricted, the diffractive field distribution is derived. It can be expressed as the convolution between the Dirac function and the Sinc and Lorenz functions. It is helpful to deepen the recognition of the restricted diffraction. The characteristic of the diffractive field is discussed. The variational curve of the full angle width at half maximum intensity of central bright fringe versus the half width of slit is presented by numerical calculation, and the fitting curve with the exponential function is close to it.

Recent MPEG Standardization Activities on 3D Video Coding

The Moving Picture Experts Group （MPEG） has been developing a 3D video （3DV） coding standard for depth-based 3DV data representations, especially for multiview video plus depth （MVD） format. With MVD, depth-image-based rendering （DIBR）is used to synthesize virtual views that are based on a few transmitted pairs of texture and depth data. In this paper, we discuss ongoing 3DV standardization and summarize coding tools proposed in the responses to MPEG＇ s call for proposals on 3DV coding.

Physical design method of MPSoC

Floorplan, clock network and power plan are crucial steps in deep sub-micron system-on-chip design. A novel di- agonal floorplan is integrated to enhance the data sharing between different cores in system-on-chip. Custom clock network con- taining hand-adjusted buffers and variable routing rules is constructed to realize balanced synchronization. Effective power plan considering both IR drop and electromigration achieves high utilization and maintains power integrity in our MediaSoC. Using such methods, deep sub-micron design challenges are managed under a fast prototyping methodology, which greatly shortens the design cycle.

Optimization of the resonant frequency servo loop technique in the resonator micro optic gyro

Proportional integrator (PI) is always adopted in the resonant frequency servo loop in a resonator micro optic gyro (RMOG). The oscillation phenomenon is observed when adjusting the loop gain surpassing a threshold. This phenomenon limits system performance on step response speed and residual error. Based on the experiment system, a simulation model was set up. Further analysis shows that the threshold gain is related to the system loop filter setting and the loop delay. The traditional PI frequency servo loop technique in the RMOG system cannot keep up with the environment's disturbance quickly enough, which leads to a large residual error. A compensating method is proposed to optimize the tracking performance, solve the oscillation problem, and speed up the system response. Simulation and experiment results show that the compensated system is superior in performance. It has less residual error in the stable state and is 10 times quicker than the uncompensated system on the step response.
