Appearance of Spatial-Temporal Noise in Super-conducting Junction and Its Effect on Transport of Electron Pairs

Transport of electron pairs in super-conducting junction with spatial-temporal noise is investigated. We show that the spatial-temporal noise can produce the current of the electron pairs, which stems from a symmetry breaking of the system induced by the correlation of the spatial-temporal noise with the phase difference. It is found that there is a positive current for the electron pairs, exhibiting a peak with increasing the values of some parameters of the noises. The results provide a theoretical foundation for the further investigation of the super-conducting junction.     

Breaking of Global Gauge Symmetries on a Spatial-temporal Subdomain

It is generally considered that global gauge symmetry of an action integral over a finite spatial-temporal domain as a whole holds in any subdomain of this domain. However, in this paper we demonstrate that when the so-called localized assumption is no longer valid, the global gauge symmetry will break in the subdomain of this spatial-temporal domain, due to occurrence of a new source called the nonlocal residual. The nonlocal residual is correlated with a gauge field and satisfies the zero mean condition with respect to whole spatial-temporal domain. An example is given to support this conclusion.     

Multipath structure of the typical under-ice sound channel in the Arctic:theory and experiment

Considering the typical acoustic environment of the Arctic, this paper proposes a method based on OASES-Bellhop coupled model to rapidly analyze the multipath structure of the under-ice sound channel. Firstly the proposed model refers to ice plate as stratified elastic media with some roughness. Secondly,it uses the perturbation method and Kirchhoff approximation theory to solve the scattering loss due to the sea ice inhomogeneity. Finally, the model predicts the multipath structure of the under-ice channel through Ray theory. The results of the numerical simulation and experiment indicate that the typical Arctic sound channel presents multipath structures due to the sea ice and seabed in the range of 6 km, respectively.The sea ice reflection paths are stable,with a short multipath spread within 14 ms. The seabed reflection paths have relatively weak strength. The proposed OASES-Bellhop coupled model successfully predicts the amplitude and delay of the multipath structure with small error,which indicates the proposed model is able to analyze and predict the multipath structure of the observed acoustic environment in experiment.     

Coherent underwater communication using passive time reversal over multipath channels

Passive time reversal exploits underwater acoustic channels’ spatial and temporal diversity. It can refocus multipath propagated signal at the receiver and can be realized simply by the passive phase conjugation (PPC) method. By the temporal focusing, time delay spread caused by multipath propagation is mitigated for spectral efficient coherent communications. However, the PPC method is unable to eliminate multipath and is limited by channel variations. An adaptive equalizer is therefore needed to compensate residual multipath after refocusing and to track channel temporal variations. Spatial diversity is obtained by using a vertical receiving array. In this paper we used 4-hydrophone array and demonstrated that the adaptive decision feedback equalization in conjunction with PPC significantly decreased the bit error rate.

Optimal and adaptive methods of processing hydroacoustic signals (review)

Different methods of optimal and adaptive processing of hydroacoustic signals for multipath propagation and scattering are considered. Advantages and drawbacks of the classical adaptive (Capon, MUSIC, and Johnson) algorithms and “fast” projection algorithms are analyzed for the case of multipath propagation and scattering of strong signals. The classical optimal approaches to detecting multipath signals are presented. A mechanism of controlled normalization of strong signals is proposed to automatically detect weak signals. The results of simulating the operation of different detection algorithms for a linear equidistant array under multipath propagation and scattering are presented. An automatic detector is analyzed, which is based on classical or fast projection algorithms, which estimates the background proceeding from median filtering or the method of bilateral spatial contrast.     

Exploiting joint sparsity for underwater acoustic MIMO communications

MIMO communication has been recognized as a potential solution for high speed underwater acoustic communication, which unfortunately encounters significant difficulties posed by simultaneous presence of multipath and Co-channel interference (CoI). Sparsity contained in the multipath structure of underwater acoustic channels offers an effective way for improving channel estimation quality and thus enhancing the communication performance in the form of time reversal or channel estimation based equalization. However, for MIMO channels with extensive multipath and CoI, the performance gain achieved by classic sparsity exploitation channel estimation methods such as orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) is still not enough to yield satisfactory performance. Under quasi-stationary assumption, underwater acoustic channels of adjacent data blocks exhibit correlated multipath structure, namely, multipath arrivals with similar time delay but different magnitude, which has not been exploited. In this paper, a joint sparse recovery approach is proposed to exploit the sparse correlation among adjacent data blocks to improve the performance of channel estimation. Under the framework of distributed compressed sensing (DCS), a joint sparse model which treats the multipath arrivals as sparse solutions with common time support is adopted to derive a joint sparse recovery algorithm for efficient channel estimation, the results of which are used to initialize and periodly update a channel estimation based time reversal receiver. Finally, underwater MIMO communication experimental results obtained in a shallow water channel are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, compared to the same type of receiver that do not exploit the joint sparse.

为揭示深海多途传播效应及界面参数对本地界面混响强度的影响规律,将界面混响表述为不同多途混响衰落过程的非相干叠加结果,并结合界面散射的若干物理机制,建立了以海面海底物理参数为变量的混响强度模型.通过数值仿真和理论分析研究了不同多途混响强度的衰落特性、到达角的空间分布及部分物理参数对混响强度的影响,并利用南海海盆(典型泥质海底)实验数据对模型有效性进行验证.仿真结果表明,界面混响强度随时间变化呈现多峰结构,峰值时间与多途混响的到达时间分布一致。声源与接收器均位于近海面处时,首峰的峰值强度及其衰落过程由海面风速决定,其它峰的峰值强度由海面海底参数共同决定,但其衰落过程主要受到底质参数的影响.      

混合稀疏水声信道的动态区分性压缩感知估计

由于水声传播过程中同时存在声信号直达、静态或动态边界反射的现象,水声信道会呈现不同动态特性的多径,形成具有混合稀疏的结构,即多径由静态或相对缓变的平稳多径分量和快速时变的动态多径分量混合组成。对于混合稀疏信道,经典的稀疏信道估计算法未考虑混合稀疏性,将导致算法失配、性能下降;以时变稀疏集为模型,动态压缩感知(DCS)结合卡尔曼滤波(KF-CS)可提高对时变多径分量的估计精度,但KF对静态稀疏分量的估计无法充分挖掘其稀疏性。通过将混合稀疏水声信道建模为由静态和时变支撑集所组成的稀疏集,提出一种动态区分性压缩感知(DDCS)方法。该算法首先结合同步正交匹配追踪(SOMP)和正交匹配追踪(OMP)将混合稀疏多径进行区分,分解为静态分量和时变分量;然后,分别用KF-CS和同步正交匹配追踪算法估计时变和静态多径的幅度;最后,将静态分量和时变分量的估计结果整合以得到整个水声信道的冲激响应。通过海试实验把所提DDCS算法与经典信道估计算法、压缩感知算法和DCS算法进行了比较,验证了所提算法的有效性。结果表明,对混合稀疏水声信道进行区分性稀疏估计可改善信道估计性能,进而可通过信道估计均衡器提升水声通信质量。

Multipath time delay estimation of underwater acoustic sinusoidal signals

To overcome the performance limitation of multipath time-delay estimation posed by underwater acoustic sinusoidal signals, an approach incorporating the frequency-domain weighting of the highly oscillatory Nonlinear Least Squares （NLS） cost function with the evolu- tionary optimization was proposed to facilitate the accurate estimation of the multipath timedelay of sinusoidal signals. In the described method, the number of the effective multipath signals, which is included into the parameter model as well as the multipath time-delay and amplitude factor, can be estimated simultaneously thus avoiding the requirement of additional computation. The experimental results performed with numerical simulation and sea-trial data are provided, demonstrating the effectiveness and precision enhancement of the proposed algorithm.     

Monte-Carlo simulations of Ising-like materials: Multipath Metropolis vs cluster update approach

Multipath Metropolis simulation of classical Heisenberg model has been proposed in Physica A 441, 69 (2016). In contrast to the original single–path algorithm, multipath simulation approach is inherently parallel because it uses different random–walk paths that are mutually independent. To further test the reliability of multipath approach, single flip multipath simulation is tested against standard cluster update algorithm implemented with ALPS libraries in case of exactly solvable 2D Ising model.

Analysis and simulation of MDMA—A spectrum efficient non-orthogonal multiple access scheme for 5G communication

In this paper, an analysis and simulation approach is used to verify the performance of a recently proposed non-orthogonal multiple access scheme called multipath division multiple access (MDMA). The spatial multipath channel (SMC), which is the distinct feature for each user, is introduced to model the matrix channel of each user, taking into account the multipath structure and massive antennas. The signal and interference powers are then derived. Thus, the corresponding bit error probability can be approximated in a closed form. Moreover, computer simulation results are shown to be consistent with the analysis results. Most importantly, it is revealed that the MDMA system can achieve the superior cellular spectrum efficiency of 25 bps/Hz/cell which fulfills the 5G cellular system requirement.

Overview of channel models for underwater wireless communication networks

Acoustic communication in Underwater Wireless Communication Networks (UWCNs) has several challenges due to the presence of fading, multipath and refractive properties of the sound channel which necessitate the development of precise underwater channel models. Some existing channel models are simplified and do not consider multipath or multipath fading. In this paper, a detailed survey on ray-theory-based multipath Rayleigh underwater channel models for underwater wireless communication is presented and the research challenges for an efficient communication in this environment are outlined. These channel models are valid for shallow or deep water. They are based on acoustic propagation physics which captures different propagation paths of sound in the underwater and consider all the effects of shadow zones, multipath fading, operating frequency, depth and water temperature. The propagation characteristics are shown through mathematical analysis. Transmission losses between transceivers are investigated through simulations. Further simulations are carried out to study the bit error rate effects and the maximum internode distances for different networks and depths considering a 16-QAM modulation scheme with OFDM as the multicarrier transmission technique. The effect of weather season and the variability of ocean environmental factors such as water temperature on the communication performance are also shown. The mathematical analysis and simulations highlight important considerations for the deployment and operation of UWCNs.
