However, because of the mobility of the vessels/ships and the large inter.ship distances, nodes in the maritime network are frequently disconnected, forcing data communication in the maritime mesh networks to be opportunistic and delay.tolerant. In this paper, we present Lane Post, an optimization approach for maritime delay.tolerant routing protocol. We exploit the shipping lane information to predict the rendezvous opportunities of the ships to optimize the route selection in delay.tolerant routing. In particular, we show that when the shipping lane information is available, an opportunistic routing graph(ORG) for each ship can be constructed to predict its multi.hop data routing opportunities to the other ships or to the shore. Based on the ORG, we develop an optimal route protocol(i.e., Lane Post) for each ship to minimize its delay of multi.hop packet delivery via dynamic programming. We discussed the ways of collecting shipping lane information by centralized method or distributed method.The proposed Lane Post protocol was evaluated by ONE, an open.source delay.tolerant network simulator, which shows its dramatic performance improvement in terms of delay reduction compared to the state.of.the.art opportunistic routing protocols.展开更多

First, a PCTL (Probability-Coordinate Transformation Layer) is designed to represent the mapping relationship between the probability output of the capsule network and the star point sub-pixel coordinates. Then, Coordconv Layer is introduced to implement explicit encoding of space information and the probability is used as the centroid weight to achieve the conversion between probability and star point sub-pixel coordinates, which improves the network’s ability to perceive star point positions. Finally, based on the dynamic imaging principle of star sensors and the characteristics of near-space environment, a star map dataset for algorithm training and testing is constructed. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm reduces the MAE (Mean Absolute Error) and RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) of the star point positioning by 36.1% and 41.7% respectively compared with the traditional algorithm. The research results can provide important theory and technical support for the scheme design, index demonstration, test and evaluation of large dynamic star sensors in near space.展开更多

The effect of choosing the color space on the classification accuracy is investigated by converting red green blue （RGB） color space to various other color spaces. The results show that the classification performance generally changes to a large degree when performing color texture classification in various color spaces, and the opponent RGB-based wavelet scattering network outperforms other color spaces-based wavelet scattering networks. Considering that color spaces can be changed into each other, therefore, when dealing with the problem of color texture classification, converting other color spaces to the opponent RGB color space is recommended before performing the wavelet scattering network.展开更多

A phase space that is isometric with the network dynamic system is reconstructed by using the single variable time series of a network flow. Some parameters, such as the correlative dimension and the Lyapunov exponent are calculated, and the chaos characteristic is proved to exist in Internet traffic data flows. A neural network model is construct- ed based on radial basis function （RBF） to forecast actual Internet traffic data flow. Simulation results show that, compared with other forecasts of the forward-feedback neural network, the forecast of the RBF neural network based on the chaos theory has faster learning capacity and higher forecasting accuracy.展开更多

In the vision of future space exploration, communication links among planets, satel ites, spacecrafts and crewed vehicles wil be designed according to a new paradigm, known as the disruption tolerant networking. In this scenario, space channel peculiarities impose a massive reengineering of many of the protocols usually adopted in terrestrial networks; among them, security solutions are to be deeply reviewed, and tailored to the specific space requirements. Security is to be provided not only to the payload data exchanged on the network, but also to the telecommands sent to a spacecraft, along possibly differentiated paths. Starting from the secure space telecommand design developed by the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems as a response to agency-based requirements, an adaptive link layer security architecture is proposed to address some of the chal enges for future space networks. Based on the analysis of the communication environment and the error diffusion properties of the authentication algorithms, a suitable mechanism is proposed to classify frame retransmission requests on the basis of the originating event （error or security attack） and reduce the impact of security operations. An adaptive algorithm to optimize the space control protocol, based on estimates of the time varying space channel, is also presented. The simulation results clearly demonstrate that the proposed architecture is feasible and efficient, especially when facing malicious attacks against frame transmission.展开更多

The range of the potential application of FSO networks is extensive, from home to satellite. However, FSO networks have not been popularized because of insufficient availability and reliability. Researchers have focused on the problems in the physical layer in order to exploit the properties of wireless optical channels. However, recent technological developments with successful results make it practical to explore the advantages of the high bandwidth. Some researchers have begun to focus on the problems of network and upper layers in FSO networks. In this survey, we classify prospective global FSO networks into three subnetworks and give an account of them. We also present state-of- the-art research and discuss what kinds of challenges exist.展开更多

文摘The rapid expansion of the low-altitude economy is driving strong demand for highly accurate and reliable positioning technologies to support diverse aerial operations.This review examines core positioning methodologies within the low-altitude intelligent network(LAIN)framework,beginning with an analysis of positioning requirements and performance metrics for low-altitude flight scenarios.It systematically assesses the principles,strengths,and limitations of mainstream positioning systems,including Global Navigation Satellite Systems(GNSS),terrestrial wireless positioning,and autonomous navigation,and it surveys prevalent integrated and cooperative positioning schemes.Our analysis demonstrates that standalone positioning technologies are inadequate in complex low-altitude settings,underscoring the pivotal role of multi-source fusion and unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)swarm cooperative positioning as future trends.To address infrastructure gaps and high deployment costs in current LAIN systems,we propose a“space−air−ground”integrated and cooperative positioning architecture centered on GNSS and the 5th generation mobile communication technology(5G).The ground layer integrates 5G and GNSS for wide-area enhanced positioning.The aerial layer uses 5G aircraft-to-everything(A2X)and sidelink(SL)communications to build self-organizing networks for cooperative UAV localization.The space layer leverages low Earth orbit(LEO)satellites to overcome coverage limitations in communication and positioning.This hierarchical architecture reduces deployment costs through infrastructure reuse and enables deep integration of communication and navigation capabilities.By supporting collaborative enhancement across all three domains,the framework improves positioning robustness and delivers cost-effective,ubiquitous,and highly reliable positioning services.Finally,we outline promising research directions.This review aims to provide a systematic reference and a novel architectural perspective for the ongoing development of LAIN.

文摘The optimized color space is searched by using the wavelet scattering network in the KTH_TIPS_COL color image database for image texture classification. The effect of choosing the color space on the classification accuracy is investigated by converting red green blue （RGB） color space to various other color spaces. The results show that the classification performance generally changes to a large degree when performing color texture classification in various color spaces, and the opponent RGB-based wavelet scattering network outperforms other color spaces-based wavelet scattering networks. Considering that color spaces can be changed into each other, therefore, when dealing with the problem of color texture classification, converting other color spaces to the opponent RGB color space is recommended before performing the wavelet scattering network.
文摘Characteristics of the Internet traffic data flow are studied based on the chaos theory. A phase space that is isometric with the network dynamic system is reconstructed by using the single variable time series of a network flow. Some parameters, such as the correlative dimension and the Lyapunov exponent are calculated, and the chaos characteristic is proved to exist in Internet traffic data flows. A neural network model is construct- ed based on radial basis function （RBF） to forecast actual Internet traffic data flow. Simulation results show that, compared with other forecasts of the forward-feedback neural network, the forecast of the RBF neural network based on the chaos theory has faster learning capacity and higher forecasting accuracy.

文摘Impressive advances in space technology are enabling complex missions, with potentially significant and long term impacts on human life and activities. In the vision of future space exploration, communication links among planets, satel ites, spacecrafts and crewed vehicles wil be designed according to a new paradigm, known as the disruption tolerant networking. In this scenario, space channel peculiarities impose a massive reengineering of many of the protocols usually adopted in terrestrial networks; among them, security solutions are to be deeply reviewed, and tailored to the specific space requirements. Security is to be provided not only to the payload data exchanged on the network, but also to the telecommands sent to a spacecraft, along possibly differentiated paths. Starting from the secure space telecommand design developed by the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems as a response to agency-based requirements, an adaptive link layer security architecture is proposed to address some of the chal enges for future space networks. Based on the analysis of the communication environment and the error diffusion properties of the authentication algorithms, a suitable mechanism is proposed to classify frame retransmission requests on the basis of the originating event （error or security attack） and reduce the impact of security operations. An adaptive algorithm to optimize the space control protocol, based on estimates of the time varying space channel, is also presented. The simulation results clearly demonstrate that the proposed architecture is feasible and efficient, especially when facing malicious attacks against frame transmission.

文摘Free Space Optical （FSO） networks, also known as optical wireless networks, have emerged as viable candidates for broadband wireless communications in the near future. The range of the potential application of FSO networks is extensive, from home to satellite. However, FSO networks have not been popularized because of insufficient availability and reliability. Researchers have focused on the problems in the physical layer in order to exploit the properties of wireless optical channels. However, recent technological developments with successful results make it practical to explore the advantages of the high bandwidth. Some researchers have begun to focus on the problems of network and upper layers in FSO networks. In this survey, we classify prospective global FSO networks into three subnetworks and give an account of them. We also present state-of- the-art research and discuss what kinds of challenges exist.
