Some new properties of the chaotic signal have been implemented in communication system applications recently. They include: (i) chaos is proven to be the optimal communication waveform in the sense of very simple matched filter being used to achieve maximum signal to noise ratio; (ii) the amount of information contained in a chaotic signal is unaltered by a wireless multipath channel; and (iii) chaos property can be used to resist multipath effect. All these support the application of chaos in a practical communication system. However, due to the broadband property of the chaotic signal, it is very difficult for a practical transducer or antenna to convert such a broadband signal into a signal that would be suitable for practical band-limited wireless channel. Thus, the use of chaos property to improve the performance of conventional communication system without changing the system configuration becomes a critical issue in communication with chaos. In this paper, chaotic baseband waveform generated by a chaotic shaping filter is used to show that this difficulty can be overcome. The generated continuous-time chaotic waveform is proven to be topologically conjugate to a symbolic sequence, allowing the encoding of arbitrary information sequence into the chaotic waveform. A finite impulse response filter is used to replace the impulse control in order to encode information into the chaotic signal, simplifying the algorithm for high speed communication. A wireless communication system is being proposed using the chaotic signal as the baseband waveform, which is compatible with the general wireless communication platform. The matched filter and decoding method, using chaos properties, enhance the communication system performance. The Bit Error Rate (BER) and computational complexity performances of the proposed wireless communication system are analyzed and compared with the conventional wireless systems. The results show that the proposed chaotic baseband waveform of our wireless communication method has better BER performance in both the static and time-varying wireless channels. The experimental results, based on the commonly-used wireless open-access research platform, show that the BER of the proposed method is superior to the conventional method under a practical wireless multipath channel. * Corresponding author: renhaipeng@xaut.edu.cn information. To avoid the difficulty of the precise synchronization, the Differential CSK (DCSK)[10-12] was proposed. The DCSK system is robust under practical wireless channel and exhibits lower implementation complexity [13]. However, the weaknesses of DCSK are high energy consumption, low data rate, weakened information security and requirement of widewidth delay lines. Subsequently, several variants of DCSK were developed to improve the performance of DCSK in different ways, as shown in Table I. However, these variants of DCSK have low bandwidth efficiency as compared to conventional wireless communication.Another chaotic communication scheme is to encode the information bit...

Purpose To uncover the evaluation information on the academic contribution of research papers cited by peers based on the content cited by citing papers, and to provide an evidence-based tool for evaluating the academic value of cited papers. Design/methodology/approach CiteOpinion uses a deep learning model to automatically extract citing sentences from representative citing papers; it starts with an analysis on the citing sentences, then it identifies major academic contribution points of the cited paper, positive/negative evaluations from citing authors and the changes in the subjects of subsequent citing authors by means of Recognizing Categories of Moves (problems, methods, conclusions, etc.), and sentiment analysis and topic clustering. Findings Citing sentences in a citing paper contain substantial evidences useful for academic evaluation. They can also be used to objectively and authentically reveal the nature and degree of contribution of the cited paper reflected by citation, beyond simple citation statistics. Practical implications The evidence-based evaluation tool CiteOpinion can provide an objective and in-depth academic value evaluation basis for the representative papers of scientific researchers, research teams, and institutions. Originality/value No other similar practical tool is found in papers retrieved. Research limitations There are difficulties in acquiring full text of citing papers. There is a need to refine the calculation based on the sentiment scores of citing sentences. Currently, the tool is only used for academic contribution evaluation, while its value in policy studies, technical application, and promotion of science is not yet tested.

In this paper we introduced an opportunistic transmission scheme in MU-MIMO downlink with reduced feedback and mode adaptation. In this strategy both base station (BS) and mobile station (MS) are equipped with multiple antennas. Threshold scheme is employed. Only eligible MS whose channel quality exceeds a preset threshold would select transmission mode, including beamforming (BF) and spatial multiplexing (SM) and adaptively feed back channel information. With feedback information, BS schedules one user out of candidate MSs at each time slot. In evaluating the scheme, statistical analysis is employed in company with Monte-Carlo simulation. Results show that with appropriate thresholds and mode adaptation, the proposed scheme can achieve high capacity as well as low feedback load and outage probability.
