Succe...Non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA), featuring high spectrum efficiency, massive connectivity and low latency, holds immense potential to be a novel multi-access technique in fifth-generation(5G) communication. Successive interference cancellation(SIC) is proved to be an effective method to detect the NOMA signal by ordering the power of received signals and then decoding them. However, the error accumulation effect referred to as error propagation is an inevitable problem. In this paper,we propose a convolutional neural networks(CNNs) approach to restore the desired signal impaired by the multiple input multiple output(MIMO) channel. Especially in the uplink NOMA scenario,the proposed method can decode multiple users' information in a cluster instantaneously without any traditional communication signal processing steps. Simulation experiments are conducted in the Rayleigh channel and the results demonstrate that the error performance of the proposed learning system outperforms that of the classic SIC detection. Consequently, deep learning has disruptive potential to replace the conventional signal detection method.展开更多

However, traditional channel estimation methods do not always yield reliable estimates. The methodology of this paper consists of deep residual shrinkage network (DRSN)neural network-based method that is used to solve this problem.Thus, the channel estimation approach, based on DRSN with its learning ability of noise-containing data, is first introduced. Then,the DRSN is used to train the noise reduction process based on the results of the least square (LS) channel estimation while applying the pilot frequency subcarriers, where the initially estimated subcarrier channel matrix is considered as a three-dimensional tensor of the DRSN input. Afterward, a mixed signal to noise ratio (SNR) training data strategy is proposed based on the learning ability of DRSN under different SNRs. Moreover, a joint mixed scenario training strategy is carried out to test the multi scenarios robustness of DRSN. As for the findings, the numerical results indicate that the DRSN method outperforms the spatial-frequency-temporal convolutional neural networks (SF-CNN)with similar computational complexity and achieves better advantages in the full SNR range than the minimum mean squared error (MMSE) estimator with a limited dataset. Moreover, the DRSN approach shows robustness in different propagation environments.展开更多

The stator current serves as a common indicator for detecting open-circuit faults. Due to the identical changes of the stator current between the open-phase faults in the PMSM and failures of double switches within the same leg of the VSI, this paper utilizes the zero-sequence voltage component as an additional diagnostic criterion to differentiate them.Considering the variable conditions and substantial noise of the ARDS, a novel Multi-resolution Network(Mr Net) is proposed, which can extract multi-resolution perceptual information and enhance robustness to the noise. Meanwhile, a feature weighted layer is introduced to allocate higher weights to characteristics situated near the feature frequency. Both simulation and experiment results validate that the proposed fault diagnosis method can diagnose 25 types of open-circuit faults and achieve more than98.28% diagnostic accuracy. In addition, the experiment results also demonstrate that Mr Net has the capability of diagnosing the fault types accurately under the interference of noise signals(Laplace noise and Gaussian noise).展开更多
