Within consideration of particle degeneracy, UKF was taken for drawing particle. To remove the noise from raw data and data processing error, adaptive wavelet filtering with threshold was adopted while data preprocessing and drawing particle. Three algorithms, named EKF-PF, UKF-PF and WM-UKF-PF, were performed for comparison. The proposed WM-UKF-PF algorithm gives better error minimization, and significantly improves performance of multipath mitigation in terms of SNR and coefficient even though it has computation complexity.

By applying the strobe correlator used widely in global positioning system （GPS） scenarios to Galileo E1 signals, it can be found that the strobe correlator has an undesirable level of performance when the delay of multipath signals is about 0. 5 chip. Combining several strobe correlators, the ELSC can effectively mitigate the multipath effect especially for the multipath signals with the 0. 5 chip delay. The multipath error envelopes between the strobe correlator and the ELSC are compared for Galileo E1 signals. The simulation results indicate that the ELSC performs excellently on multipath mitigation, and can be applied in both Galileo scenarios and GPS scenarios.展开更多

By using multiple paths which can be repaired by themselves to transmit packets alternately, the network's load is balanced, the link state in the network can be checked in time, the number of the times the route discovery mechanism starts is decreased. If only one route which will be broken can be used to transmit the packets, the route discovery mechanism is restarted.The algorithm is implemented on the basis of dynamic source routing (DSR). The effect of MSSRR on lifetime of the access from the source to the destination and the overhead is discussed. Compared with the performance of DSR,it can be seen that the algorithm can improve the performance of the network obviously and the overhead almost does not increase if the average hop count is larger.展开更多

To gain enough bandwidth, technologies that combine bandwidth by using multiple interfaces at same time are desired. Multipath transport protocols which combine multiple paths for packet delivery at the transport layer are a promising technology. Such protocols have a mechanism, called “packet scheduler”, to select the interface to send a packet. However, existing studies of the packet scheduler have not explicitly considered the compatibility of mobility with bonding of bandwidth. Therefore, when smartphone users move out of coverage of communication networks such as wireless Local Area Network (LAN) and Long Term Evolution (LTE) by vehicle, packet loss occurs, leading to a decrease of throughput. In this study, we propose a packet scheduler that selects an appropriate communication path so that packets can reach the peer before it moves out of the coverage. Based on routes of a vehicle and the position and communication range of the access point, the time at which a communication path will be lost is predicted. In addition, we employ MPQUIC (Multipath QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connections)), which is a multipath transport protocol proposed as the extension of QUIC protocol, to reduce the ACK packet loss in multipath communication, and to reduce the time until the starts of retransmission. We evaluated the number of packet losses, the throughput and the time until starts of retransmission using a simulator and show the superiority of proposed method.展开更多

The blind equalization mechanism builds upon the detection of the correlation distortion due to multipath channels; therefore an increase in the number of correlator channels is required compared with conventional GPS receivers. An adaptive estimator based on the real-time RLS algorithm is designed for dynamic estimation of multipath channel response. Then, the code and carrier phase receiver tracking errors are compensated by removing the estimated multipath components from the correlators＇ outputs. To demonstrate the capabilities of the proposed approach, this technique is integrated into a GPS software receiver connected to a navigation satellite signal simulator, thus simulations under controlled dynamic multipath scenarios can be carried out. Simulation results show that in a dynamic and fairly severe multipath environment, the proposed approach achieves simultaneously instantaneous accurate multipath channel estimation and significant multipath tracking errors reduction in both code delay and carrier phase.展开更多

In order to provide a safe working environment for miners, a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technology has been used for security monitoring. It can provide a wide range of surveillance with a relatively low cost. In this study, an Energy-Based Multipath Routing (EBMR) protocol is proposed, which considers residual energy capacity and link quality in choosing hops and routing paths. Hops and paths with a high residual energy capacity and link quality will have the best chance to be selected to transmit data packages. Since the EBMR stores several routes in the routing table, when the current path fails, another path will be chosen to fulfill the task immediately. In this way, EBMR improves reliability and decrease time latency. Compared to AOMDV and REAR, EBMR decreases time latency by 51% and 12%.展开更多

文摘Underground mining is a hazardous industrial activity. In order to provide a safe working environment for miners, a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technology has been used for security monitoring. It can provide a wide range of surveillance with a relatively low cost. In this study, an Energy-Based Multipath Routing (EBMR) protocol is proposed, which considers residual energy capacity and link quality in choosing hops and routing paths. Hops and paths with a high residual energy capacity and link quality will have the best chance to be selected to transmit data packages. Since the EBMR stores several routes in the routing table, when the current path fails, another path will be chosen to fulfill the task immediately. In this way, EBMR improves reliability and decrease time latency. Compared to AOMDV and REAR, EBMR decreases time latency by 51% and 12%.
文摘This paper proposes an efficient scheme to reduce the pre-correlation bandwidth effect in the global navigation satellite system(GNSS)receiver filtering process.It is mainly based on the application of a spectral transformation to the satellite-emitted signal that effectively reduces its band.At the receiver's end,this operation causes the spreading of noise over a much wider band than that used by the radio frequency stage.Consequently,the resulting auto-correlation function in the acquisition process acquires properties that enhance considerably the performance of the receiver in the presence of the multipath and noise disturbing phenomena.The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method is a plausible solution for both multipath and noise problems in the GNSS applications for any limited value of the pre-correlation bandwidth in the receiver filter.
