广义正交码索引调制系统的性能分析

摘 要：为了提高码索引调制（code index modulation，CIM）系统的传输效率，提出了一种具有更低复杂度的单输入单输出（single input single output，SISO）的广义正交码索引调制（generalized orthogonal code index modulation，GQCIM）系统。CIM 系统使用扩频码和星座符号传输信息，但只能激活两个扩频码索引和一个调制符号。而 GQCIM 系统以一种新颖的方式克服了只激活一个调制符号的限制，同时充分利用了调制符号的正交性，增加扩频码索引以传输更多的额外信息位，提高了系统的传输效率。此外，分析了GQCIM系统的理论性能，推导了误码率性能的上界。通过蒙特卡罗仿真验证了GQCIM系统的性能，对比发现GQCIM系统的理论和仿真性能一致。而且在相同的传输效率下，结果显示GQCIM系统的性能优于同样具有正交性的调制系统，如广义码索引调制（generalized code index modulation，GCIM）系统、CIM系统、码索引调制-正交空间调制（code index modulation aided quadrature spatial modulation，CIM-QSM）系统、码索引调制-正交空间调制（code index modulation aided spatial modulation，CIM-SM）系统、脉冲索引调制（pulse index modulation，PIM）系统。     

Efficient Visible-to-UV Photon Upconversion Systems Based on CdS Nanocrystals Modified with Triplet Energy Mediators

Developing high-performance visible-to-UV photon upconversion systems based on triplet–triplet annihilation photon upconversion (TTA-UC) is highly desired, as it provides a potential approach for UV light-induced photosynthesis and photocatalysis. However, the quantum yield and spectral range of visible-to-UV TTA-UC based on nanocrystals (NCs) are still far from satisfactory. Here, three different sized CdS NCs are systematically investigated with triplet energy transfer to four mediators and four annihilators, thus substantially expanding the available materials for visible-to-UV TTA-UC. By improving the quality of CdS NCs, introducing the mediator via a direct mixing fashion, and matching the energy levels, a high TTA-UC quantum yield of 10.4% (out of a 50% maximum) is achieved in one case, which represents a record performance in TTA-UC based on NCs without doping. In another case, TTA-UC photons approaching 4 eV are observed, which is on par with the highest energies observed in optimized organic systems. Importantly, the in-depth investigation reveals that the direct mixing approach to introduce the mediator is a key factor that leads to close to unity efficiencies of triplet energy transfer, which ultimately governs the performance of NC-based TTA-UC systems. These findings provide guidelines for the design of high-performance TTA-UC systems toward solar energy harvesting.

Beta-Binomial删除信道中的喷泉码文件传输协议

由于命名数据网络(NDN,Named-Data Networking)无环路、逐包、逐跳转发的特点,使得数据包回传成功率降低,而传统的TCP/IP协议中的ARQ和ACK机制对于多播会话不再适用.由于NDN中的传输信道可以等效为二进制删除信道,因此可以通过应用层编码来实现文件的可靠传输.传统的信道编码技术如卷积码、级联码和RS码等复杂度较高,而将NDN与低复杂度的喷泉码的结合可以实现分布式的存储架构,因而可通过喷泉编码在应用层协议中实现可靠的纠删机制,保证整体文件的传输可靠性.以往的研究一般是基于确定的删除概率信道模型,但是由于网络的异构性和信道噪声等因素影响,可能会造成信道丢包概率呈随机性分布.因此,本文在Beta-Binomial分布模型的前提下,根据贝叶斯统计的先验信息和中心极限定理,对随机概率下的纠删信道的文件可靠传输协议进行了数学建模和理论推导.仿真结果显示此模型更具有普适性,此传输协议可在信道状况未知的前提下从理论上求出最小发包数,减少冗余编码包,提高文件整体的投递成功率,在保证传输可靠性的同时有效提升协议传输效率.     

A Proposal for Addressing Security Issues Related to Dynamic Code Loading on Android Platform

One of the constant challenges faced by the Android community, when it comes to the safety of the end users, is the ability of applications to load code dynamically. This mechanism may be used for both legitimate and malicious purposes. A particular problem is the fact that remote code is not analyzed during the verification process because it doesn’t have to be present in the application package at the publishing time. Previous research has shown that using this concept in an insecure way can cause serious consequences for the user and his device. Solving this problem has proved to be a big challenge that many have tried to address in different ways. This paper deals with the problem of dynamic code loading on Android platform. For the purpose of this paper, an application that demonstrates the abuse of the dynamic code loading concept has been developed and published in the Google Play Store. Also, a proposal of the modified Android ecosystem that should address this problem and improve the security of the whole platform is given.     

Bioinformatic Prediction of an tRNASec Gene Nested inside an Elongation Factor SelB Gene in Alphaproteobacteria

In bacteria, selenocysteine (Sec) is incorporated into proteins via the recoding of a particular codon, the UGA stop codon in most cases. Sec-tRNA^Sec is delivered to the ribosome by the Sec-dedicated elongation factor SelB that also recognizes a Sec-insertion sequence element following the codon on the mRNA. Since the excess of SelB may lead to sequestration of Sec-tRNA^Sec under selenium deficiency or oxidative stress, the expression levels of SelB and tRNA^Sec should be regulated. In this bioinformatic study, I analyzed the Rhizobiales SelB species because they were annotated to have a non-canonical C-terminal extension. I found that the open reading frame (ORF) of diverse Alphaproteobacteria selB genes includes an entire tRNA^Sec sequence (selC) and overlaps with the start codon of the downstream ORF. A remnant tRNA^Sec sequence was found in the Sinorhizobium meliloti selB genes whose products have a shorter C-terminal extension. Similar overlapping traits were found in Gammaproteobacteria and Nitrospirae. I hypothesized that once the tRNA^Sec moiety is folded and processed, the expression of the full-length SelB may be repressed. This is the first report on a nested tRNA gene inside a protein ORF in bacteria.     

基于哈希链的软件定义网络路径安全

针对软件定义网络中，控制器无法保证下发的网络策略能够在转发设备上得到正确执行的安全问题，提出一种新的转发路径监控安全方案。首先以控制器的全局视图能力为基础，设计了基于OpenFlow协议的路径凭据交互处理机制；然后采用哈希链和消息验证码作为生成和处理转发路径凭据信息的关键技术；最后在此基础上，对Ryu控制器和Open vSwitch开源交换机进行深度优化，添加相应处理流程，建立轻量级的路径安全机制。测试结果表明，该机制能够有效保证数据转发路径安全，吞吐量消耗比SDN数据层可信转发方案（SDNsec）降低20%以上，更适用于路径复杂的网络环境，但时延和CPU使用率的浮动超过15%，有待进一步优化。     

SCMA场景下的极化码编解码方案改进研究

极化码是目前唯一一种被证明可达到信道容量的编码方式,稀疏码分多址接入(Sparse Code Division Multiple Access,SCMA)可以提高频谱资源的利用率和接入系统的用户接入数量。为了提升SCMA与极化码的联合系统的误码率性能和译码时延,使联合系统的应用越来越广泛,提出了2种降低译码复杂度的方式:简化的左信息更新方式和剪枝译码算法。简化的左信息更新方式对于N=256,N=1024的极化码分别能降低37.6%和44.6%的存储资源占用数;剪枝译码算法在码率为0.5时能降低50%左右的计算复杂度。基于简化的SCAN算法改进了联合检测译码算法,在接收机采用外循环迭代的结构,引入了阻尼机制,选取最优的阻尼方式和最优阻尼值。仿真分析了所提联合检测译码算法与原有联合检测译码算法的误码率性能差异,外迭代接收机性能与内外双循环迭代的接收机性能相同,采用阻尼机制联合接收机的性能比无阻尼接收机的性能高0.8 dB左右,SJIDD的误帧率性能比保留宽度为32的SCLJDD的性能低0.7 dB左右,但能使接收机处理时延降至原来的1/4~1/8。     

高性能计算分析技术在大型钠冷快堆屏蔽设计中的应用

钠冷快堆堆容器是一体化的池式结构，由众多堆内构件组成且结构复杂，堆芯到生物屏蔽外中子输运过程中各向异性明显且深穿透问题严重，大尺度范围下三维S_N方法计算是制约快堆屏蔽设计的瓶颈。通过将三维SN程序与高性能计算技术相结合，采用并行计算方法可解决快堆堆本体内各向异性的三维深穿透屏蔽问题。本文以中国示范快堆（CFR600）堆本体为研究对象，采用JSNT-CFR程序详细计算了堆本体内的中子注量率、光子注量率、剂量率，并将计算结果与已有的二维程序设计结果进行比较。结果表明，将传统屏蔽计算方法与高性能计算相结合，能满足CFR600堆本体屏蔽计算精度要求，获得更为全面的三维展示效果，在计算模型复杂、粒子穿透深度等复杂问题的屏蔽计算上具有较明显的优势，为大型钠冷快堆屏蔽设计提供有力支撑。     

Photon Upconversion Hydrogels for 3D Optogenetics

The ability to optically induce biological responses in 3D has been dwarfed by the physical limitations of visible light penetration to trigger photochemical processes. However, many biological systems are relatively transparent to low-energy light, which does not provide sufficient energy to induce photochemistry in 3D. To overcome this challenge, hydrogels that are capable of converting red or near-IR (NIR) light into blue light within the cell-laden 3D scaffolds are developed. The upconverted light can then excite optically active proteins in cells to trigger a photochemical response. The hydrogels operate by triplet–triplet annihilation upconversion. As proof-of-principle, it is found that the hydrogels trigger an optogenetic response by red/NIR irradiation of HeLa cells that have been engineered to express the blue-light sensitive protein Cry2olig. While it is remarkable to photoinduce the clustering of Cry2olig with blanket NIR irradiation in 3D, it is also demonstrated how the hydrogels trigger clustering within a single cell with great specificity and spatiotemporal control. In principle, these hydrogels may allow for photochemical control of cell function within 3D scaffolds, which can lead to a wealth of fundamental studies and biochemical applications.
