In massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, linear channel estimation algorithms are widely applied owing to their simple structures. However, they may cause pilot contamination, which affects the subsequent data detection performance. Therefore, herein, for an uplink multicell massive multiuser MIMO system, we consider using an alternating projection (AP) for channel estimation to eliminate the effect of pilot contamination and improve the performance of data detection in terms of the bit error rates as well. Even though the AP is nonlinear, it iteratively searches the best solution in only one dimension, and the computational complexity is thus modest. We have analyzed the mean square error with respect to the signal-to-interference ratios for both the cooperative and non-cooperative multicell scenarios. From the simulation results, we observed that the channel estimation results via the AP benefit the following signal detection more than that via the least squares for both the cooperative and non-cooperative multicell scenarios.

By using two different computer simulation methods, of which one produces exact results while the other is based on the Wilemski-Fixman closure approximation, we evaluate the utility of closure approximation in calculating the rates of diffusion-controlled reactions involving a reactant with multiple reaction sites. We find that errors in the estimates of steady-state rate constants due to closure approximation are not so large. We thus propose an approximate analytic expression for the rate constant based on the closure approximation.

This paper introduces a refined opportunistic interference alignment (OIA) technique that uses minimum mean square error (MMSE) detection at the receivers in multiple-input multiple-output multi-cell uplink networks. In the OIA scheme under consideration, each user performs the optimal transmit beamforming and power control to minimize the level of interference generated to the other-cell base stations, as in the conventional energy-efficient OIA. The result showed that owing to the enhanced receiver structure, the OIA scheme shows much higher sum-rates than those of the conventional OIA with zero-forcing detection for all signal-to-noise ratio regions.

The production parts have required multiple processes such as drawing, piercing, blanking and notching etc. are performed with a high production rates in progressive die. In order to prevent the defects of process result, the optimization of strip process layout design, die design, die making, and tryout etc. are needed. According to these factors of die development process, it has been required that the theory and practice of metal working process and its phenomena, die structure, machining conditions for die making, die materials, heat treatment of die components, processing know-how and so on. In this study, we designed and analyzed die components through the carrying out of upper relevant matters also simulated the strip process layout of multiple stage drawing by DEFORM. Especially the result of tryout and its analysis became to the feature of this study with a system of PDDC(Progressive Die design by computer).

In this study we propose an unsteady I-dimensional model of an iron ore sintering bed with multiple solid phases, which confers a phase on each solid material. This model contains coke combustion, limestone decomposition, gaseous reaction, heat transfers between each phase, and geometric changes of the solid particles. Simulation results are compared with the limited experimental data set of various coke contents and air supply rates. Effect of the coke diameter is also evaluated. They predict the experimental results well and show applicabilities to the various system of the fuel bed with various solid materials.

This paper presents an approach to the construction of multiple-rate quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. Parity-check matrices of the proposed codes consist of $q{\times}q$ square submatrices. The block rows and block columns of the parity-check matrix correspond to the hyperplanes (${\mu}$-fiats) and points in Euclidean geometries, respectively. By decomposing the ${\mu}$-fiats, we obtain LDPC codes of different code rates and a constant code length. The code performance is investigated in term of the bit error rate and compared with those of LDPC codes given in IEEE standards. Simulation results show that our codes perform very well and have low error floors over the additive white Gaussian noise channel.

In this paper, we investigate the optimal packet scheduling problem in a two-user multiple access communication system, where the transmitters are able to harvest energy from the nature. Under a deterministic system setting, we assume that the energy harvesting times and harvested energy amounts are known before the transmission starts. For the packet arrivals, we assume that packets have already arrived and are ready to be transmitted at the transmitter before the transmission starts. Our goal is to minimize the time by which all packets from both users are delivered to the destination through controlling the transmission powers and transmission rates of both users. We first develop a generalized iterative backward waterfilling algorithm to characterize the maximum departure region of the transmitters for any given deadline T. Then, based on the sequence of maximum departure regions at energy arrival instants, we decompose the transmission completion time minimization problem into convex optimization problems and solve the overall problem efficiently.

In this paper, we consider a joint beamforming and jamming design to enhance physical layer security against potential multiple eavesdroppers in a multiple-input and single-output cellular broadcast channel. With perfect channel state information at the base station, we propose various design approaches to improve the secrecy of the target user. Among the proposed approaches, the combined beamforming of maximum ratio transmission and zero-forcing transmission with a combination of maximum ratio jamming and zero-forcing jamming (MRT + ZFT with MRJ + ZFJ) shows the best security performance because it utilizes the full transmit antenna dimensions for beamforming and jamming with an efficient power allocation. The simulation results show that the secrecy rate of this particular proposed approach is better than the rates of the considered conventional approaches with quality-of-service and outage probability constraints.

This paper presents an analytical framework for dynamic spectrum allocation in cognitive radio networks. We propose a distributed queuing based Markovian model each for single channel and multiple channels access for a contending user. Knowledge about spectrum mobility is one of the most challenging problems in both these setups. To solve this, we consider probabilistic channel availability in case of licensed channel detection for single channel allocation, while variable data rates are considered using channel aggregation technique in the multiple channel access model. These models are designed for a centralized architecture to enable dynamic spectrum allocation and are compared on the basis of access latency and service duration.
