Test System Design of Satellite Antenna Pointing Performance Based on Dynamic Orbit Model

Radio frequency crosslink is usually used in constellation which is composed by several satellites. Deviation of the antenna pointing angle can lead to failure in the setting process of crosslink. Satellites will involve more deviation of antenna pointing angles in real orbit condition. So it is important to test the engineering design accuracy of satellite antenna pointing algorithm. A test system of satellite antenna pointing performance based on dynamic orbit model is designed, which is used to solve the problem of timing deviation of data in the test process of satellite antenna pointing performance. The timing deviation model is analyzed. Using the timing recovery module, the test error results (with and without timing information) of antenna pointing angle are unified, both of which are within 0.001° when the test process is based on the same orbit condition. Thus, the test system proposed can get the reliable results of engineering design accuracy of satellite antenna pointing algorithm.

Monitoring Frequency Stability of GNSS Satellite Clock Utilizing Modified Technique Based on the In-Orbit Data of Phase Comparison

Clock plays a vital role in navigation satellites, and its design method has a high barrier to entry. The in-orbit anomalies of clocks of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) such as Galileo and Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) indicate that the stable operation of clocks has the characteristic of high-risk. Thus, it’s of great importance to monitor the frequency stability of that. Currently, monitoring technique based on the in-orbit data of phase comparison between a master and a backup clock (IDPCMB) is able to solve traditional disadvantages of complexity, expensiveness, and unstable measurement accuracy; however, it obtains a poor accuracy when faced with condition of short-term stability. The primary purpose of this study is to design a modified IDPCMB monitoring technique, which is based on an analysis of Allan Variance from a different perspective, and can solve the drawbacks of traditional technique. The testing results show that the modified technique is superior to the traditional one.

A Low-Complexity Autonomy Scheme for Data Transmission Subsystem of Agile Satellites

For the features of agile satellites that have more missions per track, and higher requirements for response speed and accuracy of execution, a meta-task-based autonomous operation scheme of Data Transmission Subsystem with traversal execution is proposed. All commands that need to be executed for autonomous operation of DTS are classified and sorted to form a “command pool”. The on-orbit missions, which are summarized into five basic meta-tasks, are executed by travelling all commands in the pool to improve the execution efficiency and use flexibility. With the adoption of onboard highly-precise time system, the key commands can be executed opportunely. The test result of a simulation system shows that, with the scheme proposed, the DTS can complete preparation or mode transition within a minute, the time accuracy of key commands’ execution is not greater than 20 ms, and the efficiency of mission data-blocks is doubled compared with the traditional operation mode. The proposed low-complexity scheme has great potential in the subsystem-level autonomy design of agile satellites.

Navigation satellite is a service satellite that provides users with real-time position. It needs to accurately predict the position of the navigation satellite, so the thruster cannot be used during the normal operation of the navigation satellite. In other fields, the thruster is usually used to unload the angular momentum, but the thruster will change the satellite position, so this method is not suitable for navigation satellite. According to the characteristics of angular momentum management of geo navigation satellite, this paper describes the design ideas and implementation methods from the aspects of flywheel configuration design, angular momentum management, magnetic torque converter unloading design and system implementation.

Satellite power system provides satellite energy to ensure normal operation. This paper presents a hybrid optimal kernel extreme learning machine with a proportional coefficient method optimized by differential evolution algorithm (DE-PCM-OKELM) to predict the interval of the satellite power system parameter. First, the kernel extreme learning machine (KELM) with radial basis function is optimized by differential evolution algorithm to solve regression problems. Next, the proportional coefficient method (PCM) optimized by DE is utilized to construct predictive interval, where DE algorithm is used to get the best coefficient of PCM. In this paper, the integration strategy is used to improve the stability, prediction accuracy and generalization ability of the parameter interval prediction model. Moreover, the predictive interval obtained by the DE-PCM-OKELM model is non-symmetric rather than center symmetric with the predicted value. The experimental results demonstrate that DE-PCM-OKELM model can obtain higher predictive accuracy, shorter training time and testing time, narrower interval width and lower PIAI than other models. Furthermore, the proposed DE-PCM-OKELM model describes explicitly the variation range of the satellite power system parameters, PIAI is a comprehensive indicator combining PICP, PIMWP and MWD. Which is conducive for satellite to adopt defense measures in time.

Research on the Effect of Amplitude-Frequency Fluctuation for Satellite Data Transmission Link

Bit error rate (BER) may get worse, when the received spectrum of signal fluctuates in satellite data transmission system. It has set up three typical amplitude-frequency (AF) fluctuation models which are linear, zigzag and sinusoidal type. The whole link simulation model is established and the effect of the fluctuations is researched. It’s demonstrated that the affection of the fluctuation could be decreased by improving the input signal to noise (SNR), if the AF characteristic is linear which represents a simple case. However, The BER performance of sinusoidal type deteriorates rapidly and improved hardly with the increase of SNR. In order to stabilize the satellite data transmission link and acquire expected BER performance, the AF fluctuation should be restricted strictly. It is suggested that if the fluctuation is less than 3 dB, better BER performance could be achieved by a small increase of input SNR. It’s instructional for the system design and verification of satellite high rate data transmission.

Influence Analysis of Carrier Phase Noise on Modulation and Demodulation Performance in Satellite Communication Downlink

In this paper, the influence of carrier phase noise on the performance of modulation and demodulation in satellite communication downlink is simulated and analyzed. The influence trend of carrier phase noise on demodulation of different sampling rates and symbol rates under specified modulation mode is elaborated. We have come to the conclusion that: the influence of carrier phase noise on performance of specified modulation mode is related to sampling rate and symbol rate, and is also closely related to parameter setting of receiving system. Therefore, if we want to restrict the influence of carrier phase noise of transmitter on final demodulation performance, we need to consider different code rates have different influence of the phase noise on the performance under specified modulation mode. Meanwhile, we need to consider the whole transmission link, not only the transmitter itself, but also the relevant design parameters (loop form, bandwidth setting and damping coefficient setting) of the receiving system should be carefully designed and constrained to minimize the influence of carrier phase noise on modulation and demodulation performance.

The existing land area remote sensing image processing methods are not completely suitable for intertidal zones, and the accuracy and efficiency of image fusion processing methods need to be improved. A method of the fusion of large scale data remote sensing images for the land and sea intertidal zone is proposed. The logical block is used to divide the image and an image pyramid is established. Through the improvement of different fusion algorithms, the fusion of large scale data remote sensing images is achieved with a high accuracy and efficiency. The experiment was developed to prove that the IHS-NMF algorithm based on the logical block is effective in optimizing large scale remote sensing images.

Experimental Research on Direction Modulation of Plasma Flow Generated in Helicon Plasma Thruster

The direction modulation of electrical thruster’s flow is based on magnetic field reforming which leads to the orientation altering of plasma flow ejected from the helicon plasma thruster (HPT). The theoretical simulation and experiments are carried out to analyze the effect of magnetic field shifting for HPT. Simulation work shows that the magnetic field is adjustable when the magnetic coils change their position. All the Permutation and Combination are listed for Three coaxial coils. Plasma density fluctuates according to an accessional magnetic field generated periodically. The plasma density is about 6*1013 m−3 without any modulation and is from 6*1013 m−3 to 1.5*1014 m−3 when the magnetic field introduced. The plasma flow changes its orientation with 60 degree at most with a modulated frequency which reaches 15 Hz. The reason for the increasement of plasma density is the change of orientation of plasma flow, which verifies that the electric-magnetic coil is effective. More specific work of magnetically modulation and integration will be brought into effect.

Optimal Parameter Estimation for High Dynamic Acquisition of Non-coherent DSSS

The phase of the modulation data symbol inversion is irrelevant to the pseudorandom noise code, which could seriously destroy the periodic characteristic of the pseudorandom noise code and decrease the acquisition performance of conventional receiver. In view of this, square operation is proposed to add in a commonly used acquisition algorithm. Compared with delay multiplication operation, the probability density function of amplitude is studied. Finally, the constraints and optimal value of the critical parameter are evaluated based on the high dynamic characteristics and the acquisition performance of non-coherent direct sequence spread spectrum system. According to the randomness of the modulation data symbol inversion, the detection probability and SNRout is estimated adopting statistical method on the conditions of different SNRin and information rates. The simulation results show that the acquisition sensitivity of the square operation is 5 dB higher than that of delay multiplication operation on the same detection probability.

By simulating the study process in the classroom effectively, a new Improved Teaching-Learning-based Optimization (ITLBO) is proposed to solve multi-parameter optimization. Seeking to improve the converge speed and search quality, two new modifications including the adaptive teaching step size and the self-taught phase are incorporated into the original TLBO algorithm. Firstly, teacher presents nearly the same contents to every student in the teacher phase. Therefore an adaptive teaching step size is adopted to dynamically change the learning step size in accordance with the aptitude of every student, which can speed up the convergence. Secondly, through their interaction with teacher and other students, every students can actively adjust their own knowledge after class. Therefore a new self-taught phase are designed to simulate the knowledge improvement process of students’ autonomous learning, which can enrich the population diversity of learners. Experiments were tested with 8 standard functions. All results indicated that the precision and convergence of ITLBO is enhanced compared to other variant TLBO methods.

A novel blind digital beamforming (DBF) method based on complex-valued ICA is presented in this paper. The main idea of this method is to get the accurate estimation of array manifold using complex-valued ICA algorithms (such as CFastICA and JADE algorithms), and then beams are formed with DBF algorithm LCMV. Due to the inherent complex amplitude uncertainty of complex ICA algorithm, it is difficult to obtain an accurate array manifold directly. To overcome this disadvantage, an accurate array manifold can be got by our new method. The array manifold can be estimated accurately and the performance of the blind beamformers is also very well by proposed method in our simulation results with low SNR.

Image quality evaluation method (IQEM) plays an important role in image processing and recognition. In this paper, the structural similarity algorithm of objective digital image quality evaluation method (SSIM) is studied in depth, and evaluate the performance of single and multi-scale SSIM algorithm were compared. Compared to the single-scale method SSIM, the multi-scale SSIM image quality prediction score is more accurate, and is more consistent with the subjective score. The method based on structural similarity for the distorted image is more in line with the characteristics of HVS. The SSIM algorithm combines with the features of HVS, and the edge-based improved algorithm (ESSIM) is analyzed and simulated. The experimental results show that the ESSIM algorithm is more in line with the objective quality evaluation model of HVS characteristics, which provides ideas and directions for the improvement of structural similarity algorithm in future.

Improved Progressive TIN Densification Filtering Algorithm Based on the Seed Point Re-Filtering

Many filtering arithmetic have been exploited to abstracting the ground points from the point cloud datasets lately, and the progressive TIN densification filtering algorithm is the most popular algorithm. But this algorithm is preferably applied in flat terrain. In the rolling area which the terrain ups and downs, it is very hard for the traditional filtering algorithms to distinguish the ground points from point cloud dataset.Based on the classical progressive triangulation filter algorithm, this paper focuses on the seed point re-screening algorithm based on the average height of neighborhood. First, the point cloud data for noise removal, outlier removal, pumping dilute sampling and meshing and other pre-processing operations; Then seed points are obtained and seed points are screened; Finally, we use the filtered seed point to analyze the iterative judgment of the treated point cloud.In this paper, the revised algorithm is used to deal with the test standard data provided by ISPRS. The results show that more terrain features are preserved using the improved algorithm, and lead to the more accuracy than the original algorithm.

Research on Optimization Design Method of Reliability Validation Test in the Case of Zero-Failure Data

As we know, it’s valuable to take reliability validation on the spaceflight products under the condition of zero-failure data. Nevertheless, there have relatively fewer demonstrations based on Weibull distribution. An optimization design method of reliability validation test is researched based on Weibull distribution for improving the reliability of the products. The method can be summarized as follows: The working life and reliability index are primarily assumed. Then the minimum cost is taken as the optimal target, the totality of samples and the proportional coefficients of the test time are defined as variables. Subsequently, the optimal function can be solved according to least squares method, with the numerical values chose reasonably in the scales of the variables. Finally, the optimal scheme can be obtained, in which the calculation result of the reliability index is meeting the given constraint. Example for optimal calculation of zero crossing test of a reaction wheel is presented and the credibility of the suggested method is confirmed. The propounded method can offer some instructions for the design of similar test programming.

The Minimum Scale of 4-Port Switch Redundancy Network

The redundancy networks are widely used in the design of communication satellite payloads. Currently, the design of the redundancy switch matrix mainly relies on rebuilding existing matrix based on experience. As the scale of the redundancy network continues to increase, it is difficult for the existing design methods to meet the requirements and ensure the optimal design, which requires both minimum number of switches and compliance of the redundant switching functions. In this paper, the mathematical model of the redundancy network is abstracted based on the graph theory, and the key elements in the model including vertices, edges and connectivity are introduced. A new method of designing the switch matrix is proposed through the Harary graph theorem in conjunction with the method of graphic construction.

Design of High-Efficiency Heterogeneous Processing System for on-Board Mass Telemetry Data Analysis

The large amount of telemetry data generated during the operation of satellites in orbit cannot be transmitted to the ground in real time due to the limitation of space link. In order to analyze the massive telemetry data in orbit to support intelligent tasks such as autonomous health management., it is necessary to extract the interested telemetry data from the mass memory recorder. Because of the limited processing capacity of the onboard computer, it is hard to read and retrieve data directly from the recorder. In this paper, a telemetry data retrieval accelerator is designed in the mass memory recorder, which is used as the coprocessor unit of the computer module. The data in the memory is filtered by the accelerator at a high speed, and the acquired effective data of interest is submitted to the processor for further analysis and processing. Thus, the processing load of on-board computer is greatly reduced and the high-speed processing ability of mass telemetry data in orbit is achieved, which provides support for the autonomous operation of intelligent satellite.

Performance Optimization Technology of Space-Borne SAR Signal Processor Based on FPGA

Field programmable gate array (FPGA) integrates a large number of computing units and IP cores which can realize specific functions, and has high parallel processing capability. The current spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) real-time processor realizes high speed acquisition and real-time processing of multi-mode echo data through FPGA. Therefore, it is of great significance to optimize FPGA processing flow and improve FPGA fixed-point processing capacity to improve the performance of spaceborne SAR real-time imaging processor. As a fixed-point processor, FPGA needs to preserve effective data as much as possible in SAR signal processing through appropriate truncation to avoid the resource burden and data storage pressure caused by the expanding bit width. The commonly adopted fixed bit-truncation method and parameter updating on-orbit method cannot meet the application requirements of real-time scene, and cannot meet the requirements of adaptability and accuracy of SAR real-time imaging processing. In view of this situation, this paper studies the bit-truncation technology of FPGA imaging processing, and proposes an adaptive bit-truncation technology based on FPGA, which meets the real-time requirements of SAR signal processor and improves its detection performance and system reliability. The effectiveness of the technique is verified by simulation, and the method has been successfully applied to the on-orbit validation of SAR signal processor.

The slewing rate of the OTA is 1160 V/μs while the total load capacitance is 6pf. The SH circuit can settle within 10 ns to an accuracy of <0.01% for the worst case. The SH circuit achieves SFDR of 90.64 dB and THD −89.63 dB with sampling frequency 50 MHz. Design analysis and simulations are presented demonstrating that the amplifier exceeds the specification in the SH stage of a 12-bit pipelined ADC, while dissipating an average of 23 mW of power.

A Multi-level Attention Fusion Network for Weakly Supervised Audio Classification

Audio classification aims to distinguish different kinds of sounds, and it is of great importance to artificial intelligence applications. Nevertheless, there are still some challenges faced in this field, especially the classification of weakly labeled audio signals. The audio clip contains temporal information and spatial information. However, existing methods only utilize partial information so that the classification effect requires to be improved. To improve classification accuracy, we propose a multi-level attention fusion network (MLAFNet) based on deep supervision which includes multi-attention fusion (MAF) module and multi-level fusion (MLF) module. The MAF module can take full advantage of the information from the time and space domain. The MLF module based on deep supervision strategy can combine the coarse-grained and fine-grained information. Extensive experiments are carried out on the basis of Google Audio Set to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed network beyond several state-of-the-art approaches, which achieve 0.970 on AUC and 2.652 on d-prime.

Overview of Rate Control Algorithms in Mainstream Video Coding Standards

As the product of the high development of digital information technology, video can carry a very considerable amount of information. However, due to its own characteristics, there is often a large amount of information redundancy between and within frames. Through video coding, the redundancy in video can be eliminated by means of compression and coding, which can greatly optimize the storage and transmission process of video. As an important tool in video coding, rate control plays an important role in adapting the output stream and transmission channel bandwidth of the encoder, and has a strong practical application value. In view of the rate control algorithm, the current international mainstream coding standards have done fine design according to the characteristics of their own coding structure. In this paper, the rate control algorithms in HEVC/H.265, VVC/H.266 and AVS2 are described in detail.

Not All Branches Are Equal: An Improved QSYM Schema for Binary Vulnerability Mining

Recently, with the observation that fuzzing and concolic execution can complement each other, fuzzing and concolic execution combined method has been widely used for mining vulnerabilities in real world software, while not paying enough attention to the complementary strategy. That is current methods, such as Driller, QYSM, etc., normally use the on-demand strategy to switch between fuzzing and concolic execution engine, which drives down the efficiency of vulnerability mining process. This paper proposed a novel un-touched branch guided strategy to make full use of both fuzzing and concolic execution capability. By combining static analysis and runtime information, we can construct a dynamic set of un-touched and tainted branches, and the corres-pondence test case which can reach the brother branches, and then we can select the best input test case to drive concolic execution, and generate new test cases to cover the un-touched branches. We implement a prototype system FPSFuzz and evaluate our system with LAVA-M dataset and compared it with QSYM. The results show that FPSFuzz found more vulnerabilities quickly and improved the contribution of conclic execution for hybrid fuzzing, which significantly improves the efficiency.

Not All Comparisons Are Equal:An Improvement for Input-to-State Correspondence Method

Recently, more and more runtime information such as operands of comparison instructions and parameters of function calls has been used for mining vulnerabilities in real world software, while not paying attention to the difference of those information, which reduces the efficiency of the entire mining process. To make full use of the extracted information, we propose incremental information guided method for binary software vulnerability mining based on the input-to-state correspondence method, which prioritize extract information dynamically by combining static analysis and runtime information, and schedule more computing resource to those related input bytes or execution paths. Finally, we developed a prototype system called FocusFuzz, a grey-box fuzzer for mining more vulnerabilities quickly and efficiently, and we evaluated FocusFuzz on LAVA-M dataset and compared it with REDQUEEN. The experiments show that FocusFuzz find vulnerabilities equally and generate only 3% test cases on average comparing with the original method, which significantly improves the efficiency.

In order to improve the star tracker measurement accuracy better than 1 arcsecond, the calibration method of LSFE was studied. Firstly, the error composition, source and importance of ground calibration were introduced. Then, the traditional calibration and evaluation methods were described, and the problems in the application of the method to the star trackers which accuracy better than 1 arcsecond were analyzed. Then, according to the consistency of LSFE in a small range of field and the random characteristics of high spatial frequency errors (HSFE), an error separation and calibration method was proposed. Finally, the new calibration method was simulated and verified by experiments based on a sub-arcsecond precision star tracker. The Experimental results show that the calibration residual of the new method is 1.96/100 pixels, which is 38% lower than the traditional calibration method. This method is accurate, stable and reliable, and can be used for ground calibration of various space starlight measuring instrument such as star tracker and star camera.

Solar Array Drive Assembly (SADA) is one of the key components in Attitude and Orbit Control System (AOCS) because its functional capability of controlling solar array has an extraordinary effort on power generation of spacecraft. Since SADA is required to be operated during the entire life-cycle of mission, it is important to implement effective real-time fault diagnosis on SADA for satisfying the power demand of spacecraft when SADA is not working appropriately. This paper proposes a real-time hierarchical fault diagnosis strategy for SADA based on information fusion to guarantee the reliability and safety operation of SADA. Moreover, control strategy for SADA with dual-channel resolver is introduced in this paper.

Implementation of Coordinated Control for Frozen Orbit by Ion Electric Propulsion

Benefiting from the high efficiency use of fuel, the implementation of coordinated control method with ion electric propulsion for frozen orbit can significantly save fuel. Until now, the StarLink and OneWeb companies have sent hundreds of satellites into space. Compared to arriving at the mission altitude directly, the negative offset for altitude allow the launch vehicle to carry more satellites at one time. All of the satellites will climb to the mission altitude, capture the frozen orbit and achieve the phase angle deployment in the constellatin. Complete the three control requirements above at the same time without deceleration maneuver is the best strategy, which can be more quickly with less fuel and less control operations, and more convenient as the speed plus is always positive, which do not require any attitude maneuver when the propulsion is usually located at the –X side of the satellite. Coordinated control method can achieve the mission orbit more convenient with the minimum fuel.

Radio Frequency Radiant Simulation Method of SAR Target Signal Based on Multi-element Arrays

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is one of the key components in missile guidance and control system for its functional capability of target identification and scene matching. It is very important to test the SAR system infield by using Radio Frequency Simulation System (RFSS). Since traditional method failed to simulate amplitude and phase modulation caused by antenna pattern and radome exactly, this paper proposes a new concept of using multi-element arrays to radiate electromagnetic wave simultaneously, which can simulate the spatial amplitude and phase features of radar target scattering signal. The simulation results demonstrate that the target signal generated with the proposed method has obvious characteristics of peak shift and sidelobe rise after imaging. And the radar images are more blurred and mottled compared to the old method, at the same time, are more realistic and credible. So that it could be a reference to the practical application of Hardware In the Loop (HWIL) simulation.

A Handover Management Strategy Using Residence Time Prediction in 5G Ultra-Dense Networks

5G ultra-dense network can get more cell splitting gain through high-density base station deployment, which has higher spectral efficiency and capacity than LTE. However, the increase of base station density makes the co-channel interference between adjacent cells more serious, and continuous movement of users will cause a lot of handover operations, which will bring a lot of signaling interaction, greatly increase the network burden, and thus reduce the throughput of the network as well as affecting user experience. Considering that the traditional mobility management methods cannot meet the deployment requirements of future ultra-dense wireless networks, a handover management scheme based on residence time prediction is proposed by using the stochastic geometric mathematical model and the derivation of handover triggering probability and average user throughput. The simulation results show that the scheme proposed in this paper has better comprehensive performance than conventional scheme and handover skipping scheme in terms of the average user throughput under different handover decision threshold and base station density.

Geocoding Accelerated Approach to Estimate the Sensor Coverage Ratio of Internet of Things

Coverage issue is one of the key issues of Wireless sensor networks in the Internet of Things, which reflects the situation of a field is monitored or tracked by sensors of the networks. Monte Carlo method is a typical approach to estimate the coverage ratio indicator, which measures how well the sensors cover the region of interests. However, the naive implementation of Monte Carlo method always checks all the sensors for each random sample point and the time complexity of such naive implementation is too large to apply to large scale applications. We propose a novel accelerated approach of the Monte Carlo method based on the geocoding and the related data structure, which supports fast query the nearest sensor or the sensors in a certain range. The time complexity of the proposed approach is deduced compared with the naive ones in theory. Simulation results also show that our approach is faster than the naive version so as to support large scale networks in an efficient manner.

A Markov Process-Based Anomaly Detection of Time Series Streaming Data

When monitoring highly dynamic time series streaming data, the traditional anomaly detection methods have many disadvantages, e.g., inadaptability to the dynamic streaming data and low detection accuracy. In order to distinguish abnormal data from streaming data, a Markov Process-Based anomaly detection method is proposed. Firstly, the dimensionality of raw data is reduced through Locality Preserving Projection algorithm to bring redundancy down. Then, an Elbow-Based K-Means clustering algorithm is proposed to determine the rational number of mode, and the dimensionally-reduced data are divided into normal and abnormal modes through the algorithm. Finally, a Markov Process-Based anomaly detection model is established to detect the data in abnormal mode, where the effect of concept drift is avoided and a loose mode containing the data in the future unknown mode is introduced into the model to enhance model integrity. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve quasi-optimal performance compared with other contrasting methods.

Massive Semi-structured Data Platform Based on Elasticsearch and MongoDB

Nowadays, the NoSQL databases always are chosen to solve the problem of massive semi-structured data storage, but the built-in analysis module still has a lack of real-time data processing. To solve this problem, a real-time storage analysis solution based on Elasticsearch and MongoDB was proposed in this paper. The proposed solution uses MongoDB cluster for real-time data storage and combines MongoDB cluster and Elasticsearch cluster as analysis module to meet the need of real-time analysis. Analysis requirements can be divided into complex statistical analysis and query requirements. Query operations are executed directly in MongoDB cluster, complex statistical analysis such as group statistical analysis, should be done in both Elasticsearch cluster and MongoDB cluster. Experimental results show that in this platform, 99.96% of the storage requirements can be responded in 100 ms and all the analysis requirements can be responded in seconds. Therefore, this solution can meet the need of real-time storage and analysis on massive semi-structured data.

With the help of this channel model, we derived the directional sensitivity and symbol error rate. Through the simulation results, we demonstrated the direction-sensitive nature of polarization modulation systems, which can be used for physical layer security.

Our solutions will use the 4G MDT data as the eigenvalue. We firstly use the ML algorithms to analysis the accuracy between 4G MDT data and 4G DT data. Then, select the most important index by analyzing the impacts of 5G NSA coverage and performance. Finally, we will get the rules by training the supervised machine learning model between 4G MDT data and 5G NSA coverage and performance outcomes. The results indicate that the supervised machine learning based approach works well. Telecom operators can use it for the further development of 5G networks.

The Interference Mitigation Method and Field Test in C-Band Between 5G System and FSS Receiver

C-band is the most used frequency resource for the 5G development in the worldwide. However, fixed satellite service (FSS) is also deployed in this frequency band in many countries, which will suffer adjacent channel interference from 5G. In this article, we evaluate the interference in the real network deployed by China Unicom. The interference level is determined by network deployment parameters such as the load level of the 5G gNB, the location of the 5G terminals, and the angle between the gNB and the FSS antenna. To avoid the interference, the isolation between satellite and 5G should be improved by increasing the distance or the performance of transceiver. On the other hand, we also need to ensure the flexibility of 5G network deployment. Thus, the method that adding a filter to the FSS receiver is proposed. We test the suitable passband of the filter in the lab environment and verify the effective of this method under the most serious interference in the practical network. Tests have shown that when the filter has 45 dB suppression in the 5G frequency band, the isolation distance can be reduced to 90 m. Therefore, in the actual 5G network environment, the isolation distance between the 5G gNB and the FSS earth station can be further reduced, and a large number of 5G network coverage holes will be avoided.

Cross-Screen Tracking Method Based on User Behavior Data

This paper investigates on the problem of fragmentation of a large number of device terminal data faced in precision marketing. We propose a cross-screen tracking algorithm based on user activity data, and realize the Internet business need of identifying different terminal devices of the same user with the user id. The proposed algorithm optimizes the data preprocessing process. More specifically, when the user’s position coordinates are mapped to a manually divided geographic grid, the micro-grid method is used to supplement the semantic characteristics of the position, thereby reducing the loss of information during the transformation of space-time point coordinates. Through the cross-screen tracking algorithm based on user behavior, the proposed algorithm can avoid the dependence of existing technologies for user login behavior or a large amount of third-party platform data. The proposed algorithm can improve the amount and accuracy of cross-screen tracking data, and will reduce exposure costs and increase commercial ROI (Return on Investment) and provide optimal marketing decision support for commercial services.
