文摘It is assumed that reconfigurable intelligent surface(RIS)is a key technology to enable the potential of mmWave communications.The passivity of the RIS makes channel estimation difficult because the channel can only be measured at the transceiver and not at the RIS.In this paper,we propose a novel separate channel estimator via exploiting the cascaded sparsity in the continuously valued angular domain of the cascaded channel for the RIS-enabled millimeter-wave/Tera-Hz systems,i.e.,the two-stage estimation method where the cascaded channel is separated into the base station(BS)-RIS and the RIS-user(UE)ones.Specifically,we first reveal the cascaded sparsity,i.e.,the sparsity exists in the hybrid angular domains of BS-RIS and the RIS-UEs separated channels,to construct the specific sparsity structure for RIS enabled multi-user systems.Then,we formulate the channel estimation problem using atomic norm minimization(ANM)to enhance the proposed sparsity structure in the continuous angular domains,where a low-complexity channel estimator via Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers(ADMM)is proposed.Simulation findings demonstrate that the proposed channel estimator outperforms the current state-of-the-arts in terms of performance.
文摘Many traditional denoising methods,such as Gaussian filtering,tend to blur and lose details or edge information while reducing noise.The stationary wavelet packet transform is a multi-scale and multi-band analysis tool.Compared with the stationary wavelet transform,it can suppress high-frequency noise while preserving more edge details.Deep learning has significantly progressed in denoising applications.DnCNN,a residual network;FFDNet,an efficient,fl exible network;U-NET,a codec network;and GAN,a generative adversative network,have better denoising effects than BM3D,the most popular conventional denoising method.Therefore,SWP_hFFDNet,a random noise attenuation network based on the stationary wavelet packet transform(SWPT)and modified FFDNet,is proposed.This network combines the advantages of SWPT,Huber norm,and FFDNet.In addition,it has three characteristics:First,SWPT is an eff ective featureextraction tool that can obtain low-and high-frequency features of different scales and frequency bands.Second,because the noise level map is the input of the network,the noise removal performance of diff erent noise levels can be improved.Third,the Huber norm can reduce the sensitivity of the network to abnormal data and enhance its robustness.The network is trained using the Adam algorithm and the BSD500 dataset,which is augmented,noised,and decomposed by SWPT.Experimental and actual data processing results show that the denoising eff ect of the proposed method is almost the same as those of BM3D,DnCNN,and FFDNet networks for low noise.However,for high noise,the proposed method is superior to the aforementioned networks.

文摘In this paper,we study the accuracy of delay-Doppler parameter estimation of targets in a passive radar using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM)signal.A coarse-fine joint estimation method is proposed to achieve better estimation accuracy of target parameters without excessive computational burden.Firstly,the modulation symbol domain(MSD)method is used to roughly estimate the delay and Doppler of targets.Then,to obtain high-precision Doppler estimation,the atomic norm(AN)based on the multiple measurement vectors(MMV)model(MMV-AN)is used to manifest the signal sparsity in the continuous Doppler domain.At the same time,a reference signal compensation(RSC)method is presented to obtain highprecision delay estimation.Simulation results based on the OFDM signal show that the coarse-fine joint estimation method based on AN-RSC can obtain a more accurate estimation of target parameters compared with other algorithms.In addition,the proposed method also possesses computational advantages compared with the joint parameter estimation.
文摘River ethics encompasses the values,moral principles,and behavioral norms that govern and regulate the relationship between humans and rivers.Constructing rivers ethics breaks through the traditional ethical dimension that is limited to interpersonal judgment and extends the moral relationship from solely between humans to between humans and river life.China's eco-civilization drive elucidates that harmony between humans and rivers are the core concept of constructing river ethics.This paper discusses the values,foundation,moral principles,and behavioral norms of river ethics,and forms the theoretical framework of river ethics.
文摘In this paper,X is a locally compact Hausdorff space and A is a Banach algebra.First,we study some basic features of C0(X,A)related to BSE concept,which are gotten from A.In particular,we prove that if C0(X,A)has the BSE property then A has so.We also establish the converse of this result,whenever X is discrete and A has the BSE-norm property.Furthermore,we prove the same result for the BSE property of type I.Finally,we prove that C0(X,A)has the BSE-norm property if and only if A has so.
文摘In this paper,some refinements of norm equalities and inequalities of combination of two orthogonal projections are established.We use certain norm inequalities for positive contraction operator to establish norm inequalities for combination of orthogonal projections on a Hilbert space.Furthermore,we give necessary and sufficient conditions under which the norm of the above combination of o`rthogonal projections attains its optimal value.
