The multiuser(MU) detection in PQSM system is investigated in this paper. Based on the known channel state information, pre-coding matrix is designed to pre-process the in-phase and quadrature signals of quadrature spatial modulation(QSM) to reduce the inter-channel interference. In order to lower the complexity at the receiver brought by the orthogonality of the PQSM system, an orthogonal matching pursuit(OMP) detection algorithm and a reconstructed model are proposed. The analysis and simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can obtain a similar bit error rate(BER) performance as the maximum likelihood(ML) detection algorithm with more than 80% reduction of complexity.展开更多

文摘The rapid proliferation of multimodal misinformation on social media demands detection frameworks that are not only accurate but also robust to noise,adversarial manipulation,and semantic inconsistency between modalities.Existing multimodal fake news detection approaches often rely on deterministic fusion strategies,which limits their ability to model uncertainty and complex cross-modal dependencies.To address these challenges,we propose Q-ALIGNer,a quantum-inspired multimodal framework that integrates classical feature extraction with quantumstate encoding,learnable cross-modal entanglement,and robustness-aware training objectives.The proposed framework adopts quantumformalism as a representational abstraction,enabling probabilisticmodeling ofmultimodal alignment while remaining fully executable on classical hardware.Q-ALIGNer is evaluated on four widely used benchmark datasets—FakeNewsNet,Fakeddit,Weibo,and MediaEval VMU—covering diverse platforms,languages,and content characteristics.Experimental results demonstrate consistent performance improvements over strong text-only,vision-only,multimodal,and quantum-inspired baselines,including BERT,RoBERTa,XLNet,ResNet,EfficientNet,ViT,Multimodal-BERT,ViLBERT,and QEMF.Q-ALIGNer achieves accuracies of 91.2%,92.9%,91.7%,and 92.1%on FakeNewsNet,Fakeddit,Weibo,and MediaEval VMU,respectively,with F1-score gains of 3–4 percentage points over QEMF.Robustness evaluation shows a reduced adversarial accuracy gap of 2.6%,compared to 7%–9%for baseline models,while calibration analysis indicates improved reliability with an expected calibration error of 0.031.In addition,computational analysis shows that Q-ALIGNer reduces training time to 19.6 h compared to 48.2 h for QEMF at a comparable parameter scale.These results indicate that quantum-inspired alignment and entanglement can enhance robustness,uncertainty awareness,and efficiency in multimodal fake news detection,positioning Q-ALIGNer as a principled and practical content-centric framework for misinformation analysis.

文摘With the increasing number of geosynchronous orbit satellites with expiring lifetime,spacecraft refueling is crucial in enhancing the economic benefits of on-orbit services.The existing studies tend to be based on predetermined refueling duration;however,the precise mission scheduling solution will be difficult to apply due to uncertain refueling duration caused by orbital transfer deviations and stochastic actuator faults during actual on-orbit service.Therefore,this paper proposes a robust mission scheduling strategy for geosynchronous orbit spacecraft on-orbit refueling missions with uncertain refueling duration.Firstly,a robust mission scheduling model is constructed by introducing the budget uncertainty set to describe the uncertain refueling duration.Secondly,a hybrid harris hawks optimization algorithm is designed to explore the optimal mission allocation and refueling sequences,which combines cubic chaotic mapping to initialize the population,and the crossover in the genetic algorithm is introduced to enhance global convergence.Finally,the typical simulation examples are constructed with real-mission scenarios in three aspects to analyze:performance comparisons with various algorithms;robustness analyses via comparisons of different on-orbit refueling durations;investigations into the impacts of different initial population strategies on algorithm performance,demonstrating the proposed mission scheduling framework's robustness and effectiveness by comparing it with the exact mission scheduling.

文摘Pre-coding aided quadrature spatial modulation(PQSM) is a promising multiple input multiple output(MIMO) transmission technology. The multiuser(MU) detection in PQSM system is investigated in this paper. Based on the known channel state information, pre-coding matrix is designed to pre-process the in-phase and quadrature signals of quadrature spatial modulation(QSM) to reduce the inter-channel interference. In order to lower the complexity at the receiver brought by the orthogonality of the PQSM system, an orthogonal matching pursuit(OMP) detection algorithm and a reconstructed model are proposed. The analysis and simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can obtain a similar bit error rate(BER) performance as the maximum likelihood(ML) detection algorithm with more than 80% reduction of complexity.
文摘Advances in software and hardware technologies have facilitated the production of quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs).Nowadays,people actively use quadrotor UAVs in essential missions such as search and rescue,counter-terrorism,firefighting,surveillance,and cargo transportation.While performing these tasks,quadrotors must operate in noisy environments.Therefore,a robust controller design that can control the altitude and attitude of the quadrotor in noisy environments is of great importance.Many researchers have focused only on white Gaussian noise in their studies,whereas researchers need to consider the effects of all colored noises during the operation of the quadrotor.This study aims to design a robust controller that is resistant to all colored noises.Firstly,a nonlinear quadrotormodel was created with MATLAB.Then,a backstepping controller resistant to colored noises was designed.Thedesigned backstepping controller was tested under Gaussian white,pink,brown,blue,and purple noises.PID and Lyapunov-based controller designswere also carried out,and their time responses(rise time,overshoot,settling time)were compared with those of the backstepping controller.In the simulations,time was in seconds,altitude was in meters,and roll,pitch,and yaw references were in radians.Rise and settling time values were in seconds,and overshoot value was in percent.When the obtained values are examined,simulations prove that the proposed backstepping controller has the least overshoot and the shortest settling time under all noise types.

文摘Complex network models are frequently employed for simulating and studyingdiverse real-world complex systems.Among these models,scale-free networks typically exhibit greater fragility to malicious attacks.Consequently,enhancing the robustness of scale-free networks has become a pressing issue.To address this problem,this paper proposes a Multi-Granularity Integration Algorithm(MGIA),which aims to improve the robustness of scale-free networks while keeping the initial degree of each node unchanged,ensuring network connectivity and avoiding the generation of multiple edges.The algorithm generates a multi-granularity structure from the initial network to be optimized,then uses different optimization strategies to optimize the networks at various granular layers in this structure,and finally realizes the information exchange between different granular layers,thereby further enhancing the optimization effect.We propose new network refresh,crossover,and mutation operators to ensure that the optimized network satisfies the given constraints.Meanwhile,we propose new network similarity and network dissimilarity evaluation metrics to improve the effectiveness of the optimization operators in the algorithm.In the experiments,the MGIA enhances the robustness of the scale-free network by 67.6%.This improvement is approximately 17.2%higher than the optimization effects achieved by eight currently existing complex network robustness optimization algorithms.
