Simplification of Additivity Conjecture in Quantum Information Theory

We simplify some conjectures in quantum information theory; the additivity of minimal output entropy, the multiplicativity of maximal output p-norm and the superadditivity of convex closure of output entropy. In this paper, by using some unital extension of quantum channels, we show that proving one of these conjectures for all unital quantum channels would imply that it is also true for all quantum channels.      

Formulation and Preparation for Numerical Evaluation of Linear Complementarity Systems in Dynamics

In this paper, we provide a full instruction on how to formulate and evaluate planar frictional contact problems in the spirit of non-smooth dynamics. By stating the equations of motion as an equality of measures, frictional contact reactions are taken into account by Lagrangian multipliers. Contact kinematics is formulated in terms of gap functions, and normal and tangential relative velocities. Associated frictional contact laws are stated as inclusions, incorporating impact behavior in form of Newtonian kinematic impacts. Based on this inequality formulation, a linear complementarity problem in standard form is presented, combined with Moreau’s time stepping method for numerical integration. This approach has been applied to the woodpecker toy, of which a complete parameter list and numerical results are given in the paper.     

A generalisation of Jury’s conjecture to arbitrary dimensions and its proof

In 1986 E. I. Jury conjectured by analogy to the theory of digital filters that a two-dimensional analog filter is BIBO stable if its transfer function is of the form H = 1/P, where P is a very strict Hurwitz polynomial (VSHP). In this article we prove a generalisation of Jury’s conjecture to r-dimensional analog filters (r ≥ 2) with proper transfer function H = Q/P, where the denominator P is a robustly stable polynomial, i.e., a strict Hurwitz polynomial which retains this property under small variations of its coefficients. In the bivariate case these polynomials are the VSHPs. Financial support by the Austrian FWF via project 18974 is appreciated.     

Parameter estimation and system identification for continuously-observed quantum systems

This paper gives an overview of parameter estimation and system identification for quantum input–output systems by continuous observation of the output field. We present recent results on the quantum Fisher information of the output with respect to unknown dynamical parameters. We discuss the structure of continuous-time measurements as solutions of the quantum Zakai equation, and their relationship to parameter estimation methods. Proceeding beyond parameter estimation, the paper also gives an overview of the emerging topic of quantum system identification for black-box modelling of quantum systems by continuous observation of a travelling wave probe, for the case of ergodic quantum input–output systems and linear quantum systems. Empirical methods for such black-box modelling are also discussed.

CSRR‐loaded T‐shaped MIMO antenna for 5G cellular networks and vehicular communications

This article proposes a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna for 5G‐based vehicular communication applications. The designed MIMO antenna consist of two element iterated T‐shape antenna with defected ground structure (DGS) and split ring resonator. The antenna providing reflection coefficient S₁₁ s₁₁ ≤10 dB and bandwidth of 6.3 and 3.96 GHz over the frequency range of 26.83 to 33.13 GHz and 34.17 to 38.13 GHz, respectively. For the suitable future vehicular millimetric wave communications, this antenna achieved resonant frequencies at 28, 33, and 37 GHz. The designed antenna has achieved peak gain of 7.11 dB in operating band. It is fabricated on 12 x 25.4 x 0.8 mm³ Rogers RT duroid 5880 substrate with dielectric constant (ε_r) of 2.2. The antenna is placed on vehicle in virtual environmental using ANSYS SAVANT tool and the simulated results are showing good matching with the measured results of proposed MIMO antenna.     

Interface theories for concurrency and data

We present a compositional approach for specifying concurrent behavior of components with data states on the basis of interface theories. The dynamic aspects of a system are specified by modal input/output automata, whereas changing data states are specified by pre- and postconditions. The combination of the two formalisms leads to our notion of modal input/output automata with data constraints (MIODs). In this setting we study refinement and behavioral compatibility of MIODs. We show that compatibility is preserved by refinement and that refinement is compositional w.r.t. synchronous composition, thus satisfying basic requirements of an interface theory. We propose a semantic foundation of interface specifications where any MIOD is equipped with a model-theoretic semantics describing the class of its correct implementation models. Implementation models are formalized in terms of guarded input/output transition systems and the correctness notion is based on a simulation relation between an MIOD and an implementation model which relates not only abstract and concrete control states but also (abstract) data constraints and concrete data states. We show that our approach is compositional in the sense that locally correct implementation models of compatible MIODs compose to globally correct implementations, thus ensuring independent implementability.     

Optimal timeslot and channel allocation considering fairness for multicell CDMA/TDD systems

The CDMA/TDD system is a highly attractive solution to support the next generation cellular mobile systems which provide unbalanced multimedia services between downlink and uplink. In this paper, we analyze the interference for downlink and uplink timeslots in a multicell CDMA/TDD system. We also mathematically formulate an optimal timeslot and channel allocation problem considering capacity fairness among cells, which is to maximize the system capacity under the given traffic unbalance, and propose an efficient algorithm based on the simulated annealing technique. Extensive experimental results show that the proposed scheme yields a good performance, and fairness among cells improves with a decrease in the system capacity.

Robust event‐triggered output feedback learning algorithm for voltage source inverters with unknown load and parameter variations

We consider the output feedback event‐triggered control of an off‐grid voltage source inverter (VSI) with unknown inductance‐capacitance (L ? C) filter dynamics and connected load in the presence of an input disturbance acting at the inverter. Due to uncertain dynamics and unmodeled parameters in the L ? C filter connected to the VSI, we use an adaptive observer to reconstruct the system's states by measuring only the voltage at the output. The control mechanism is constructed based on an impulsive actor/critic framework that approximates the cost, the event‐triggered controller, and the worst case disturbance and generates the desired AC output with the least energy dissipation. We provide rigorous stability proofs and illustrate the applicability of our results through a simulation example.

Technique for authenticating H.264/SVC and its performance evaluation over wireless mobile networks

In this paper, a bit stream-based authentication scheme for H.264/Scalable Video Coding (SVC) is proposed. The proposed scheme seamlessly integrates cryptographic algorithms and Erasure Correction Codes (ECCs) to SVC video streams such that the authenticated streams are format compliant with the SVC specifications and preserve the three-dimensional scalability (i.e., spatial, quality and temporal) of the original streams. We implement our scheme on a smart phone and study its performance over a realistic bursty packet-lossy wireless mobile network. Our analysis and experimental results show that the scheme achieves very high verification rates with lower communication overhead and much smaller decoding delay compared with the existing solutions.     

H∞ output feedback control for stochastic systems with randomly occurring convex‐bounded uncertainties and channel fadings

In this paper, the H_∞ output feedback control problem for a class of stochastic discrete‐time systems with randomly occurring convex‐bounded uncertainties and channel fadings is investigated. A sequence of mutually independent random variables with known probabilistic distributions are utilized to describe the randomness that convex‐bounded uncertainties appear in practical systems. The measurements with channel fadings are given by a stochastic Rice fading model which is regulated by a set of random variables with certain probability density functions. The purpose of this paper is to design an output feedback controller such that the closed‐loop control system is asymptotically stable with a prescribed H_∞ performance level. The less conservative results are obtained by employing the stochastic Lyapunov technique. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Parallelization and scalability of a spectral element channel flow solver for incompressible Navier–Stokes equations

Direct numerical simulation (DNS) of turbulent flows is widely recognized to demand fine spatial meshes, small timesteps, and very long runtimes to properly resolve the flow field. To overcome these limitations, most DNS is performed on supercomputing machines. With the rapid development of terascale (and, eventually, petascale) computing on thousands of processors, it has become imperative to consider the development of DNS algorithms and parallelization methods that are capable of fully exploiting these massively parallel machines. A highly parallelizable algorithm for the simulation of turbulent channel flow that allows for efficient scaling on several thousand processors is presented. A model that accurately predicts the performance of the algorithm is developed and compared with experimental data. The results demonstrate that the proposed numerical algorithm is capable of scaling well on petascale computing machines and thus will allow for the development and analysis of high Reynolds number channel flows.

对内嵌图像数据采用交织器结构的不等保护,以抗击包丢失现象,是广泛采用的有效方案。本文提出在同一信道码率游程内,把信源符号的排列方式从原方案的逐行排列改成逐列排列能够增加接收端用于解码的信源符号数目,改善重建图像的质量。基于以上改进,导出了相应的期望PSNR计算式。在考虑重排效果和解码图像最小质量要求的前提下,提出了一种基于局部搜索的信源／信道码率分配新算法。采用双状态马尔可夫网络模型,通过对SPIHT和JPEG2000编码器产生的码流数据进行仿真实验。结果表明,在同样的传输失败概率下,新算法的期望PSNR值显著优于同类算法,特别在包数较少而包长度较大的情况下,期望PSNR性能的改善幅度更大。     

地空信道下基于OFDM/OQAM系统的时频同步算法

针对正交频分复用/交错正交幅度调制（OFDM/OQAM）系统无循环前缀而对时偏误差敏感,以及在具有大多普勒频移的快时变地空信道下对频偏估计要求较高的问题,提出了一种适用于地空信道OFDM/OQAM系统的自相关估计（ACE）时频同步算法。该算法中符号定时采用较少的辅助序列实现快速捕获和定时,频偏估计通过优选同步自相关序列进行两次自相关运算,将两次运算估计的频偏值进行加权平均,获得最终频偏估计值。在计算机上进行仿真,其中与改进最小二乘（MLS）算法和训练序列（TR2）算法相比,ACE算法符号定时相关峰值对比度提高至原来的3倍;在飞行状态下系统误码率（BER）为10^-2时有10dB信噪比增益,在地空信道到达状态下BER为10^-3时有3dB信噪比增益。仿真结果表明,ACE算法进一步提升了时频同步精度和误码性能。     

Compact planar frequency reconfigurable multiple‐input‐multiple‐output antenna with pattern and polarization diversity characteristics for WiFi and WiMAX standards

A compact planar frequency reconfigurable dual‐band multiple‐input‐multiple‐output (MIMO) antenna with high isolation and pattern/polarization diversity characteristics is presented in this article for WiFi and WiMAX standards. The MIMO configuration incorporates two symmetrically placed identical antenna elements and covers overall size of 24 mm × 24 mm × 0.762 mm. Reconfiguration of each antenna element is achieved by using a PIN diode which allows antennas to switch from state‐1 (2.3‐2.4 GHz and 4.6‐5.5 GHz) to state‐2 (3.3‐3.5 GHz and 4.6‐5.5 GHz). In state‐1, the configuration offers isolation ≥18 dB and 20 dB in lower band (LB) and upper band (UB) respectively; whereas, in state‐2, isolation ≥21 dB and 20 dB in LB and UB respectively is achieved. The same decoupling circuit provides high isolation in dual‐band of two states, which makes overall size of the proposed design further compact. The antennas are characterized in terms of envelope correlation coefficient, radiation pattern, gain, and efficiency. From measured and simulated results, it is verified that the proposed frequency reconfigurable dual‐band multi‐standard MIMO antenna design shows desirable performance in both operating bands of each state and compact size of the design makes it suitable for small form factor devices used in future wireless communication systems.
