However, since Rydberg atomic receivers are nonlinear systems, mismatches between the parameters of the received amplitude modulation(AM) signals and the system's linear workspace and demodulation operating points can cause severe distortion in the demodulated signals. To address this, the article proposes a method for determining the operational parameters based on the mean square error(MSE) and total harmonic distortion(THD) assessments and presents strategies for optimizing the system's operational parameters focusing on linear response characteristics(LRC) and linear dynamic range(LDR). Specifically, we employ a method that minimizes the MSE to define the system's linear workspace, thereby ensuring the system has a good LRC while maximizing the LDR. To ensure that the signal always operates within the linear workspace, an appropriate carrier amplitude is set as the demodulation operating point. By calculating the THD at different operating points, the LRC performance within different regions of the linear workspace is evaluated, and corresponding optimization strategies based on the range of signal strengths are proposed. Moreover, to more accurately restore the baseband signal, we establish a mapping relationship between the carrier Rabi frequency and the transmitted power of the probe light, and optimize the slope of the linear demodulation function to reduce the MSE to less than 0.8×10^(-4). Finally, based on these methods for determining the operational parameters, we explore the effects of different laser Rabi frequencies on the system performance, and provide optimization recommendations. This research provides robust support for the design of high-performance Rydberg atom-based AM receivers.展开更多

To design a receiver that performs well and overcomes the abovementioned problems, we performed forward modeling of the E-field abnormal response and established the receiver's characteristics. We describe the design optimization and the properties of each component, that is, low-noise induction coil sensor, low-noise Ag/AgCI electrode, low-noise chopper amplifier, digital temperature-compensated crystal oscillator module, acoustic telemetry modem, and burn wire system. Finally, we discuss the results of onshore and offshore field tests to show the effectiveness of the developed seafloor electromagnetic receiver and its performance: typical E-field noise of 0.12 nV/m/rt(Hz) at 0.5 Hz, dynamic range higher than 120 dB, clock drift lower than 1 ms/day, and continuous operation of at least 21 days.展开更多

This design uses the concept of software radio, and it consists of the following parts: front-end, acquisition, tracking, synchronization, navigation solution and some assisting modules. In the acquisition module, the acquisition algorithm based on circular correlation is utilized. The input data and the local code are converted into the frequency domain by means of the fast Fourier transform (FFT). After performing circular correlation, the initial phase of the C/A code can be obtained and the cartier frequency can be found in 1 kHz frequency resolution, which is too coarse to use for the tracking loop. In order to improve the frequency resolution, the fine frequency estimation through a phase relationship is then achieved, by which, the frequency resolution is improved dramatically. Experiments show that the inaccuracy of the carrier frequency can be estimated within a few hertz by the fine frequency estimation method, and the fine frequency attained can be directly used for the tracking loop.展开更多

文摘Accurate early classification of elephant flows(elephants)is important for network management and resource optimization.Elephant models,mainly based on the byte count of flows,can always achieve high accuracy,but not in a time-efficient manner.The time efficiency becomes even worse when the flows to be classified are sampled by flow entry timeout over Software-Defined Networks(SDNs)to achieve a better resource efficiency.This paper addresses this situation by combining co-training and Reinforcement Learning(RL)to enable a closed-loop classification approach that divides the entire classification process into episodes,each involving two elephant models.One predicts elephants and is retrained by a selection of flows automatically labeled online by the other.RL is used to formulate a reward function that estimates the values of the possible actions based on the current states of both models and further adjusts the ratio of flows to be labeled in each phase.Extensive evaluation based on real traffic traces shows that the proposed approach can stably predict elephants using the packets received in the first 10% of their lifetime with an accuracy of over 80%,and using only about 10% more control channel bandwidth than the baseline over the evolved SDNs.

文摘The geodetic detrending(GD)methodology was introduced in the past decade and has opened the door to the global monitoring of ionospheric scintillation using global navigation satellite system(GNSS)receivers.The performance of GD has been demonstrated in geodetic receivers.However,extending scintillation monitoring to low-cost commercial receivers remains a challenge.Low-cost devices could serve as valuable complements to specialised and much more expensive scintillation monitoring receivers.In this paper,first,a feasibility study was conducted using the GD technique,demonstrating that the scintillation indices derived from the observations of two lowcost receivers(Septentrio Mosaic X5 and UBLOX ZED-F9P)have a resolution similar to that achieved by geodetic receiver models,whose price is one order of magnitude higher.Second,measurements of GNSS signals at different frequencies from the Galileo and global positioning system(GPS)satellites were analysed in a specific experiment over six days of null scintillation.Next,the noise level in the scintillation parameters derived from the experiment was evaluated,which shows that for low-cost receivers,the minimum scintillation detection threshold increases only negligibly compared to geodetic-grade receivers.Moreover,the geometry-free(GF)combination of L1 with a second signal of different frequency was investigated as an alternative to detrending GNSS signals.Finally,for determining the ionospheric fluctuations produced by scintillation,the limitations of using the GF combination versus the uncombined measurements were highlighted.It is concluded that the minimum resolution of scintillation indices derived from low-cost receiver measurements makes it possible to distinguish values associated with periods of scintillation activity from those produced by residual noise from mismodeling.For both geodetic and low-cost receivers,the scintillation detection threshold obtained with uncombined carrier-phase measurements is smaller than that achieved with the classic GF combination.

文摘Zero Trust Network(ZTN)enhances network security through strict authentication and access control.However,in the ZTN,optimizing flow control to improve the quality of service is still facing challenges.Software Defined Network(SDN)provides solutions through centralized control and dynamic resource allocation,but the existing scheduling methods based on Deep Reinforcement Learning(DRL)are insufficient in terms of convergence speed and dynamic optimization capability.To solve these problems,this paper proposes DRL-AMIR,which is an efficient flow scheduling method for software defined ZTN.This method constructs a flow scheduling optimization model that comprehensively considers service delay,bandwidth occupation,and path hops.Additionally,it balances the differentiated requirements of delay-critical K-flows,bandwidth-intensive D-flows,and background B-flows through adaptiveweighting.Theproposed framework employs a customized state space comprising node labels,link bandwidth,delaymetrics,and path length.It incorporates an action space derived fromnode weights and a hybrid reward function that integrates both single-step and multi-step excitation mechanisms.Based on these components,a hierarchical architecture is designed,effectively integrating the data plane,control plane,and knowledge plane.In particular,the adaptive expert mechanism is introduced,which triggers the shortest path algorithm in the training process to accelerate convergence,reduce trial and error costs,and maintain stability.Experiments across diverse real-world network topologies demonstrate that DRL-AMIR achieves a 15–20%reduction in K-flow transmission delays,a 10–15%improvement in link bandwidth utilization compared to SPR,QoSR,and DRSIR,and a 30%faster convergence speed via adaptive expert mechanisms.

文摘The Rydberg atom-based receiver, as a novel type of antenna, demonstrates broad application prospects in the field of microwave communications. However, since Rydberg atomic receivers are nonlinear systems, mismatches between the parameters of the received amplitude modulation(AM) signals and the system's linear workspace and demodulation operating points can cause severe distortion in the demodulated signals. To address this, the article proposes a method for determining the operational parameters based on the mean square error(MSE) and total harmonic distortion(THD) assessments and presents strategies for optimizing the system's operational parameters focusing on linear response characteristics(LRC) and linear dynamic range(LDR). Specifically, we employ a method that minimizes the MSE to define the system's linear workspace, thereby ensuring the system has a good LRC while maximizing the LDR. To ensure that the signal always operates within the linear workspace, an appropriate carrier amplitude is set as the demodulation operating point. By calculating the THD at different operating points, the LRC performance within different regions of the linear workspace is evaluated, and corresponding optimization strategies based on the range of signal strengths are proposed. Moreover, to more accurately restore the baseband signal, we establish a mapping relationship between the carrier Rabi frequency and the transmitted power of the probe light, and optimize the slope of the linear demodulation function to reduce the MSE to less than 0.8×10^(-4). Finally, based on these methods for determining the operational parameters, we explore the effects of different laser Rabi frequencies on the system performance, and provide optimization recommendations. This research provides robust support for the design of high-performance Rydberg atom-based AM receivers.
文摘In this paper,an interference cancellation based neural receiver for superimposed pilot(SIP)in multi-layer transmission is proposed,where the data and pilot are non-orthogonally superimposed in the same time-frequency resource.Specifically,to deal with the intra-layer and inter-layer interference of SIP under multi-layer transmission,the interference cancellation with superimposed symbol aided channel estimation is leveraged in the neural receiver,accompanied by the pre-design of pilot code-division orthogonal mechanism at transmitter.In addition,to address the complexity issue for inter-vendor collaboration and the generalization problem in practical deployments,respectively,this paper also provides a fixed SIP(F-SIP)design based on constant pilot power ratio and scalable mechanisms for different modulation and coding schemes(MCSs)and transmission layers.Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed schemes on the performance of block error rate and throughput compared with existing counterparts.

文摘In this paper,we investigate a distributed multi-input multi-output and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(MIMO-OFDM) dual-functional radar-communication(DFRC) system,which enables simultaneous communication and sensing in different subcarrier sets.To obtain the best tradeoff between communication and sensing performance,we first derive Cramer-Rao Bound(CRB) of targets in detection area,and then maximize the transmission rate by jointly optimizing the power/subcarriers allocation and the selection of radar receivers under the constraints of detection performance and total transmit power.To tackle the non-convex mixed integer programming problem,we decompose the original problem into a semidefinite programming(SDP) problem and a convex quadratic integer problem and solve them iteratively.The numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm,as well as the performance improvement brought by optimizing radar receivers selection.

文摘As a novel signaling technology,the power splitting receiver(PSR)simultaneously employs both the coherent and non-coherent signal processing.In order to improve its communication performance,an intelligent reflecting surface(IRS)is introduced into its signal propagation path.Consequently,an IRSaided PSR is concerned for a point-to-point(P2P)data link,where both the single-antenna and multiantenna deployments on the receiver are discussed.We aim at maximizing the capacity of the concerned P2P data-link by jointly optimizing the passive beamforming of IRS and the splitting ratio of PSR,either in single-antenna or multi-antenna case.However,owing to the coupling of multiple variables,the optimization problems are non-convex and challenging,especially in the later multi-antenna case.The proposed alternating-approximating algorithm(A-A),aided by semi-definite relaxation(SDR)and successive convex approximation(SCA)methods,etc.,successfully overcomes these challenges.We compare the IRS-aided PSR system that optimized by our proposed algorithm to the systems without IRS or PSR,and the systems without joint optimization.The simulation results show that our proposal has a better performance.

文摘Based on the observational data from 60 short-period stations deployed in the Jishishan M6.2 earthquake epicenter and adjacent regions(Gansu Province,2023),this study inverted the near-surface S-wave velocity structure through teleseismic receiver function analysis by using the amplitude of direct P-wave.The results reveal that the epicentral area(Liugou Township and surroundings)exhibits markedly low S-wave velocities of 400-600 m/s,with a mean value of(500±50)m/s.In contrast,intermountain basins-Guanting Basin and Dahejia Basin-demonstrate significantly elevated velocities,exceeding the epicentral zone by 100-300 m/s,with values concentrated at 600-900 m/s.Notably,localized areas such as Jintian Village and Caotan Village maintain stable S-wave velocities of(700±30)m/s.The western margin tectonic belt of Jishishan displays distinctive velocity differentiation:A pronounced velocity gradient zone along the 35.8°N latitude boundary separates northern areas(<550 m/s)from southern regions(>750 m/s).These findings demonstrate significant spatial heterogeneity in shallow S-wave velocity structures,primarily controlled by three factors:(1)topographic-geomorphic units,(2)stratigraphic lithological contrasts,and(3)anthropogenic modifications.The persistent low-velocity anomalies(<600 m/s)in the epicentral zone and northern Yellow River T2 terrace likely correlate with Quaternary unconsolidated sediments,enhanced groundwater circulation,and bedrock weathering.These results provide critical geophysical constraints for understanding both the seismogenic environment of the Jishishan earthquake and its damage distribution patterns.Furthermore,they establish a foundational framework for regional seismic intensity evaluation,site amplification analysis,and secondary hazard risk assessment.

文摘The Cathaysia block in Southeast China has undergone complex compression,collision and tectonic evolution processes,which have led to the formation of rich granites and polymetallic ores.However,its history of crustal evolution and metallogenic mechanisms remain unclear.To explore the deep geodynamic processes in the central Cathaysia block,we deployed a dense broadband seismic array with a station interval of~5 km from July 2017 to August 2020.This seismic array,composed of 80 portable stations,traverses the Nanling and Wuyi metallogenic belts and crosses four deep faults.We employ the teleseismic receiver-function method to estimate the crustal thickness and vP/vS ratio beneath the seismic array.Our results reveal a distinct negative correlation between the crustal thickness and the vP/vS ratio within the crust,which might be closely associated with crustal deformation.The average crustal thickness is~30 km,indicating that the crust was thinned under an extensional environment.However,the crust beneath the Wuyi belt is slightly thicker and has a lower vP/vS ratio than its adjacent areas,which may reflect thickening of the upper crust due to its ductility and lithospheric delamination.

文摘Distributed denial of service(DDoS)attacks are common network attacks that primarily target Internet of Things(IoT)devices.They are critical for emerging wireless services,especially for applications with limited latency.DDoS attacks pose significant risks to entrepreneurial businesses,preventing legitimate customers from accessing their websites.These attacks require intelligent analytics before processing service requests.Distributed denial of service(DDoS)attacks exploit vulnerabilities in IoT devices by launchingmulti-point distributed attacks.These attacks generate massive traffic that overwhelms the victim’s network,disrupting normal operations.The consequences of distributed denial of service(DDoS)attacks are typically more severe in software-defined networks(SDNs)than in traditional networks.The centralised architecture of these networks can exacerbate existing vulnerabilities,as these weaknesses may not be effectively addressed in this model.The preliminary objective for detecting and mitigating distributed denial of service(DDoS)attacks in software-defined networks(SDN)is to monitor traffic patterns and identify anomalies that indicate distributed denial of service(DDoS)attacks.It implements measures to counter the effects ofDDoS attacks,and ensure network reliability and availability by leveraging the flexibility and programmability of SDN to adaptively respond to threats.The authors present a mechanism that leverages the OpenFlow and sFlow protocols to counter the threats posed by DDoS attacks.The results indicate that the proposed model effectively mitigates the negative effects of DDoS attacks in an SDN environment.

文摘Increasing the number of atoms that interact with microwave fields represents a promising strategy for enhancing the sensitivity of Rydberg atom-based superheterodyne receivers.Nevertheless,the practical implementation of this approach is impeded by adverse effects such as excitation saturation of Rydberg atoms and power broadening.Here,we demonstrate enhanced microwave field measurements based on two specific velocity groups of atoms,simultaneously addressed by dual-channel probe beams in a Sagnac loop interferometer.The application of resonance detuning in two-photon excitation enables selective addressing of atoms moving along the beam direction,thereby significantly mitigating atomic transit noise.At 7.97 GHz,our method yields a 3 dB improvement in signal-to-noise ratio(SNR),achieving a sensitivity of 10.7 nV·cm^(−1)·Hz^(−1/2).This approach offers a viable pathway to further improve the sensitivity of Rydberg atom-based microwave electrometers.

文摘In planning and executing marine controlled-source electromagnetic methods, seafloor electromagnetic receivers must overcome the problems of noise, clock drift, and power consumption. To design a receiver that performs well and overcomes the abovementioned problems, we performed forward modeling of the E-field abnormal response and established the receiver's characteristics. We describe the design optimization and the properties of each component, that is, low-noise induction coil sensor, low-noise Ag/AgCI electrode, low-noise chopper amplifier, digital temperature-compensated crystal oscillator module, acoustic telemetry modem, and burn wire system. Finally, we discuss the results of onshore and offshore field tests to show the effectiveness of the developed seafloor electromagnetic receiver and its performance: typical E-field noise of 0.12 nV/m/rt(Hz) at 0.5 Hz, dynamic range higher than 120 dB, clock drift lower than 1 ms/day, and continuous operation of at least 21 days.

文摘The design of a global positioning system (GPS) software receiver is introduced. This design uses the concept of software radio, and it consists of the following parts: front-end, acquisition, tracking, synchronization, navigation solution and some assisting modules. In the acquisition module, the acquisition algorithm based on circular correlation is utilized. The input data and the local code are converted into the frequency domain by means of the fast Fourier transform (FFT). After performing circular correlation, the initial phase of the C/A code can be obtained and the cartier frequency can be found in 1 kHz frequency resolution, which is too coarse to use for the tracking loop. In order to improve the frequency resolution, the fine frequency estimation through a phase relationship is then achieved, by which, the frequency resolution is improved dramatically. Experiments show that the inaccuracy of the carrier frequency can be estimated within a few hertz by the fine frequency estimation method, and the fine frequency attained can be directly used for the tracking loop.
