Quantum turbo codes (QTC) have shown excellent error correction capabilities in the setting of quantum communication, achieving a performance less than 1 dB away from their corresponding hashing bounds. Decoding for QTCs typically assumes that perfect knowledge about the channel is available at the decoder. However, in realistic systems, such information must be estimated, and thus, there exists a mismatch between the true channel information and the estimated one. In this article, we first heuristically study the sensitivity of QTCs to such mismatch. Then, existing estimation protocols for the depolarizing channel are presented and applied in an off-line manner to provide bounds on how the use of off-line estimation techniques affects the error correction capabilities of QTCs. Finally, we present an on-line estimation method for the depolarizing probability, which, different from off-line estimation techniques, neither requires extra qubits, nor increases the latency. The application of the proposed method results in a performance similar to that obtained with QTCs using perfect channel information, while requiring less stringent conditions on the variability of the channel than off-line estimation techniques.

Quantum turbo codes (QTC) have shown excellent error correction capabilities in the setting of quantum communication, achieving a performance less than 1 dB away from their corresponding hashing bounds. Existing QTCs have been constructed using uniform random interleavers. However, interleaver design plays an important role in the optimization of classical turbo codes. Consequently, inspired by the widely used classical-to-quantum isomorphism, this paper studies the integration of classical interleaving design methods into the paradigm of quantum turbo coding. Simulations results demonstrate that error floors in QTCs can be lowered significantly, while decreasing memory consumption, by proper interleaving design without increasing the overall decoding complexity of the system.

For improving reliable operation of switchgear in power system, an approach for on-line monitoring the insulation characteristic and bus-bar temperature rising of the switchgear is proposed in this paper. Through comparing several existing temperature measurement methods for monitoring temperature rising elevation at bus-bas, a new design of temperature monitoring method is proposed. It adopts quick-magnetic saturated current transformer, temperature sensor and infrared transmission to solve the problem of high voltage isolation. The epoxy resin insulation material which is commonly used in switchgear its aging mechanism data is not complete, seriously restrict on-line monitoring for switchgear, so thousands hours of aging experiment is done on switchgear, systematic study various electrical characteristics variation law on the gradual aging process of epoxy resin insulation materials. Therefore, study on the aging characteristics of switchgearinsulation and its lifetime estimation method is the key technology to understand agingmechanism better, search for new fault diagnostic method and the way to extend theuseful lifetime of switchgear. At last, the system runs in real system and the result shows the on-line monitoring system is stable and reliable which can be provide reference for on-line monitoring system design of switchgear.

This chapter discusses a new concept for Block Spread OFDM called Parallel Concatenated Spreading matrices OFDM (PCSM-OFDM) which was first presented in (Raad, I. and Huang, X. 2007). While BSOFDM improved the overall BER performance on OFDM in frequency selective channels, this new approach further improves the BER of BSOFDM by over 3dB gain. This uses coding gain to achieve this and is similar in concept to the well known error correction codes Turbo Codes. This is done by copying the data at the transmitter n times in parallel and multiplexing.

Vehicle mass estimation is the key technology to improve vehicle stability. However, the existing mass estimation accuracy is easily affected by the change of road gradient, and there are few studies on the mass estimation method of the light truck. Aiming at this problem, this paper uses sensors to measure road gradient and rear suspension deformation and proposes a sensor-based vehicle mass estimation algorithm. First, factors that affect the mass estimation are analyzed, road gradient error correction method and mass estimation error correction method are established. Besides, the suspension deformation is decoupled from the road gradient. Second, the mass estimation algorithm model was established in Matlab/Simulink platform and compared with the mass estimation iterative algorithm. Finally, the road test was carried out under various conditions, the results show that the proposed mass estimation algorithm is robust, and the accuracy of the mass estimation will not be affected by the sudden change of road gradient.
