The Complexity of a Pipelined Algorithm for Remainder Computing in a Given Modulo

Zakharov V.M., Pesoshin V.A., Shalagin S.V.

Abstract

A pipelined algorithm for computing the remainder when dividing an arbitrary binary number of a given bit capacity (numerator) by a certain constant value (a constant) is proposed. The algorithm is based on the same types of operations of comparisons and addition–subtraction of partial remainders upon division by this constant. Depending on whether an intermediate result during computation of the remainder is positive or negative, addition with the value of the intermediate result or subtraction from it of the remainder upon division of a given power of two occur. The number of algorithm stages compared with the model is known in advance and depends on the bit capacities of both the dividend and constants. The estimates of the time complexity of the proposed pipelined algorithm are determined by the maximum delay time of operation of the pipeline stage. The estimates of the hardware complexity of the proposed algorithm, as well as the model of the device that implements the algorithm, are determined at the abstract and structural levels.

Optimization of Model Reference Adaptive Controller for the Inverted Pendulum System Using CCPSO and DE Algorithms

Bejarbaneh E.Y., Bagheri A., Bejarbaneh B.Y., Buyamin S.

Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to propose two variants of bio-inspired algorithm, Constriction Coefficient Particle Swarm Optimization (CCPSO) and Differential Evolution (DE), which determine optimal parameters of Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller. To achieve this purpose, the PID controller has been plugged to the Model Reference Adaptive Controller (MRAC) that balances Inverted Pendulum (IP) with nonlinear characteristic in vertical-upright position. For comparison purpose, efficiency of these intelligent approaches to adjust MRAC parameters has been evaluated in terms of time response performance. Finally, the overall simulation results demonstrate that both the algorithms yield acceptable response in controlling the nonlinear model of IP system. However, the performance of DE algorithm is better than CCPSO in terms of transient response characteristics.

Enhanced Dynamic Load Balancing Algorithm in Computer Networks with Quality of Services

Koryachko V.P., Perepelkin D.A., Byshov V.S.

Abstract

Nowadays there is an increase in transfer volumes of audio, video and other types of multimedia content in modern computer networks (CN). Multimedia streaming and multicasting applications have limited jitter and end-to-end delay requirements and do not allow full providing of all necessary conditions for efficient data transmission on the Internet. To provide quality of service (QoS) of streaming applications Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) proposed two QoS architectures: IntServ and DiffServ. However, these architectures have the limited ability of dynamical change in the movement of data flows and do not ensure compliance with all QoS requirements. Complexity in service of CN is often combined with incomplete compatibility of network decisions that involves dependence on the hardware manufacturers. The purpose of the work is the development of the enhanced dynamic load balancing algorithm in CN with QoS. The present work is dedicated to the simulation of software of dynamic load balancing processes. The results of the investigations of the offered algorithm on different topology of CN by 5 QoS-metrics are presented too. The assessment and comparison of the efficiency of the offered load-balancing algorithm with known analog such as Yen’s algorithm including traffic engineering (TE) module are executed.

Deep Mining of Redundant Data in Wireless Sensor Network Based on Genetic Algorithm

Diao H.

Abstract

Mining effective data from wireless sensor network node data is one of the main subjects in studies concerning wireless sensor network data processing. Wireless sensor network data are muli-dimensional and dynamic. Generally, data mining technology cannot satisfy the requirements of wireless sensor network. A large amount of accumulated and redundant wireless sensor network monitoring data reduces the efficiency of data processing. To solve the above problems, this study proposed a data mining algorithm, which integrated rough set algorithm and genetic algorithm to mine redundant data in node network data. The results of the simulated calculation based on MATLAB platform suggested that the identification rate, false accept rate and reject rate of the proposed algorithm were 94.65, 1.753 and 2.331%; compared to network data mining algorithm based on improved genetic algorithm, it has higher efficiency and accuracy in data mining. The algorithm could effectively excavate redundant data in wireless sensor network and optimize the operation environment of wireless sensor network. The application of the rough set and genetic algorithm based data mining algorithm in wireless network has a promising prospect.

The Relationship between Transport Wireless Network Throughput and Vehicle Speed

Ancans A., Petersons E.

Abstract

The article describes determined relationship between transport wireless network throughput and vehicle’s velocity. It is determined that such relationship is most precisely described by quadratic polynomial function, which was obtained by processing experimentally measured data and approximating them with various functions. When evaluating network’s throughput with “application layer” and “transport layer” software, the highest layer overheads can be determined. As it was stated, they form a great part of transmitted traffic. It must be considered in practice, because network’s throughput cannot be determined only by measurements of OSI Layer 3 or Layer 4 throughput.

Energy Spectrum of Stochastic Signals Caused by Variations of Electrical Resistance

Kolodiy Z.A., Stadnyk B.I., Yatsyshyn S.P., Kolodiy A.Z.

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to investigate the energy spectrum of stochastic signals caused by the fluctuations of electric resistance of the resistance coils, the metal film resistors and the encephalograms of patients. We have established that all energy spectra of the investigated stochastic signals contain a flicker component that in case of the metal film resistors depends on the defects of their inner structure. We have suggested the reason for the appearance of spectrum flicker-component in the energy spectrum of the stochastic signals of systems of different origin. This reason is the nonequilibrium state of the investigated system. We have shown that it is possible to calculate the flicker noise of the investigated system on any frequencies as well as the flicker noise power, using only two parameters: the value of energy spectrum on the middle and high frequencies (energy spectrum of the equilibrium system) and the relaxation time.

An Analysis of Positioning Method in AIS Ranging Mode

Jiang Y., Zhang S., Teng J.

Abstract

Position, navigation and timing (PNT) resiliency is required in e-Navigation strategy, which is proposed by International Maritime Organization (IMO). The PNT is mainly provided by global navigation satellite system (GNSS) at sea for now. It is necessary to introduce an alternative position system using a different technique, as a complement to existing GNSS. The automatic identification system (AIS) is utilized far and wide for collision avoidance based on radio-communications at sea and is mandated by IMO. However, position information of AIS depends on GNSS currently. If AIS can estimate the position by itself independently of GNSS, it would be of great significance to ensure resilient PNT. AIS base stations transmit the ranging signals, while vessels monitor the signals and then calculate the position. This idea is called AIS ranging-mode (R-mode) in e-Navigation. AIS R-mode positioning system is a potential candidate system to resilient PNT in the World Wide Radio Navigation System (WWRNS). This paper focuses on positioning methods used in AIS R-mode. Two position estimation methods are investigated. One is a direct positioning method according to geodetic surveying. The other is a positioning method according to map projecting. Principles and mathematical models of these methods are presented respectively. Besides the theoretical analysis, the performance of these two positioning methods using in AIS R-mode is also evaluated by simulation both with the ideal condition and with the additional secondary factor (ASF).

Synthetic Sample Extension in Implementation of Tangut Character Databases

Meng Y., Yuan X., Wei X., Yang W., Chen Y.

Abstract

The Tangut script was a logographic writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia Dynasty, which spanned 1038 to 1227. The technic of optical character recognition, machine learning, and computer vision will help greatly in the unscrambling of the character in the ancient scripts. But all these technics are based on the character database, which provides learning samples and test standards. In the process of building the Tangut Character Databases using the ancient Tangut scripts as a data source, it is found that the problem of imbalanced class distribution significantly compromises the performance of learning algorithms. A method of synthetic sample generation was proposed in this paper to improve the performance of learning and recognition of Tangut characters. The comparison of recognition accuracy between the learning base in the original data set and the synthetic generated data set was demonstrated, and presented an impressive superiority utilizing the researchers’ method. The organization of Tangut character databases was also introduced in this paper.
