In general, single sensor system can only provide partial information about environment while multi-sensor system provides a synergistic effect, which improves the quality and availability of information. Data fusion techniques can effectively combine this environmental information from similar and/or dissimilar sensors. Sensor management, aiming at improving data fusion performance by controlling sensor behavior, plays an important role in a data fusion process. This paper presents a method using fisher information gain based sensor effectiveness metric for sensor assignment in multi-sensor and multi-target tracking applications. The fisher information gain is computed for every sensor-target pairing on each scan. The advantage for this metric over other ones is that the fisher information gain for the target obtained by multi-sensors is equal to the sum of ones obtained by the individual sensor, so standard transportation problem formulation can be used to solve this problem without importing the concept of pseudo sensor. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the method.展开更多

The paper introduces several kinds of logistics informat ion system and their functions in the logistics management, such as the warehous e management system (WMS) in the delivery center, the control system for transpo rtation and delivery, the supply chain management (SCM), the optimization of th e logistics system, etc. In the author’s opinion, the development of logistics could been divided into four phases. And the logistics information system has s ome special characteristics: automatization, network, intelligence, and regenera tion. The paper also introduces some information technologies that are concerned . The readers can find following technologies in this paper: database and netwo rk technology, bar code and scanning devices, electronic data interchange (EDI), global positioning system (GPS), these technologies develop very fast in recent years. This development makes a great contribution to the growing of logist ics information system.展开更多

To protect the target from detection and estimation, the novel signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio （SINR）-based and mutual information （Ml）-based jamming design techniques were proposed. To interfere with the target detection, the jamming was designed to minimize the S1NR of the radar seeker. To impair the estimation performance, the mutual information between the radar echo and the random target impulse response was used as the criterion. The spectral of optimal jamming under the two criteria were achieved with the power constraints. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the jamming techniques. SINR and MI of the SINR-based jamming, the MI-based jamming as well as the predefined jamming under the same power constraints were compared. Furthermore, the probability of detection and minimum mean-square error （MMSE） were also utilized to validate the jamming performance. Under the jamming power constraint of I W, the relative decrease of the probability of detection using S1NR-based optimal jamming is about 47%, and the relative increase of MMSE using Ml-based optimal jamming is about 8%. Besides, two useful jamming design principles are concluded which can be used in limited jamming power situations.展开更多
