A Concatenated ML Decoder for ST／SFBC-OFDM Systems in Double Selective Fading Channels

This paper presented a concatenated maximum-likelihood (ML) decoder for space-time/space-frequency block coded orthogonal frequency diversion multiplexing (ST/SFBC-OFDM) systems in double selective fading channels. The proposed decoder first detects space-time or space-frequency codeword elements separately. Then,according to the coarsely estimated codeword elements, the ML decoding is performed in a smaller constellation element set to searching final codeword. It is proved that the proposed decoder has optimal performances if and only if subchannels are constant during a codeword interval. The simulation results show that the performances of proposed decoder is close to that of the optimal ML decoder in severe Doppler and delay spread channels. However,the complexity of proposed decoder is much lower than that of the optimal ML decoder.

Network Decomposition and Maximum Independent Set Part Ⅱ：Application Research

According to the researches on theoretic basis in part I of the paper，the spanning tree algorithms solving the maximum independent set both in even network and in odd network have been developed in this part，part Ⅱ of the paper．The algorithms trans form first the general network into the pair sets network，and then decompose the pair sets network into a series of pair subsets by use of the characteristic of maximum flow passing through the pair sets network．As for the even network，the algorithm requires only one time of trans formation and decomposition，the maximum independent set can be gained without any iteration processes，and the time complexity of the algorithm is within the bound of O(｜V｜^3)．However，as for the odd network，the algorithm consists of two stages．In the first stage，the general odd network is transformed and decomposed into the pseudo-negative envelope graphs and generalized reverse pseudo-negative envelope graphs alternately distributed at first；then the algorithm turns to the second stage，searching for the negative envelope graphs within the pseudo-negative envelope graphs only．Each time as a negative envelope graphhas been found．renew the pair sets network by iteration at once．and then tum back to the first stage．So both stages form a circulation process up to the optimum．Two available methods，the adjusting search and the picking-off search are specially developed to deal with the problems resulted from the odd network．Both of them link up with each other harmoniously and are embedded together in the algorithm．Analysis and study indicate that the time complexity of this algorithm is within the bound of O(｜V｜^5)．     

New applications of EXIT chart for iterative decoding systems

Applications on iterative control and multiple input multiple output （MIMO） system were developed. Two new charts derived from extrinsic information transfer （EXIT） chart were employed as the designing tools, which are called as output mutual information chart with defined iterative degree （DID） chart and near optimum output mutual information （NOMI） chart respectively. Different from the EXIT chart, they can show the iterative performance on the whole signal-to-noise ratio range with one single curve, whereas computation complexity is greatly reduced compared with conventional bit error ratio （BER） performance curve. The iterative control was implemented according to a near-optimum iterative degree vector determined by NOMI chart, the reasonability of uncertain parameters was analyzed in one MIMO system. The concepts were illustrated based on bit-interleaved coded modulation with iterative decoding （BICM-ID）.

Empirical Study on Arbitrage Opportunities in China Copper Futures Market

Introduction Arbitrage opportunities attract considerable atten-tion of scholars in economics and finance. Modiglianiand Miller first performed no-arbitrage equilibriumanalysis in 1958[1]. Following their work, Black andScholes[2]deduced the option pricing model. Ross[3]and Cox[4]put forward arbitrage theory and risk neu-tral pricing method. Harrison and Kreps[5], and Har-rison and Pliska[6]proved that the no-arbitrage equi-librium system can be constructed by equivalent mar-tingale measur…

Port choice in container market: a literature review

As a result of the intense changes occurring in port environment over the last decades, new models of competitiveness have been developed, where port authorities try to increase their attractiveness. In this context, one of the most debated issues in this area of research is still the role played by port authorities in defining port competitiveness. The aim of this paper is to provide a review of port choice literature enabling to identify the main port choice’s criteria in order to define the role played by Port Authorities and to point out future lines of research that should be undertaken to fully incorporate current ports’ environment and performance. The results show that although some studies point out the importance of geographical factors in port choice, a larger number of studies defend the increasing role played by port authorities in determining the competitiveness through investing in port infrastructure, improving port efficiency or hinterland accessibility. Despite the existing models contributing on this topic, there are still some gaps in terms of measuring the port performance, including port strategies and studying the port choice for specific industries.
