Historical information based iterative soft Kalman time-varying channel estimation method by Lu CHENG, Lihua YANG, Zenghao WANG, Jie ZHANG, Yan LIANG

“…For high-speed mobile MIMO-OFDM systems,a historical information based iterative soft-Kalman filter time-varying channel estimation method was proposed.Considering that the channels experienced by different trains in the high-speed railway environment have strong correlation,the channel information of the historical train was firstly used to obtain the optimal basis function,which can be employed to model the channel.By the optimal basis function,the computational complexity was reduced and the channel estimation accuracy was improved for the proposed method.Secondly,the soft-Kalman filter and data detection were jointed to estimate the base coefficient in each iteration.To reduce the effect of data detection error propagation on the channel estimation,the soft data detection scheme was employed and the soft detection error was treated as noise in each iteration.In addition,the soft-Kalman filter used in the proposed method does not involve the AR model tracking factor,thereby avoiding the computational complexity introduced by the estimated tracking factor.The simulation results show that the proposed method has better estimation performance,and is more suitable for time-varying channel acquisition of actual high-speed mobile scenarios.…”

What is the pathophysiology of inflammation-induced cortical injury in the perinatal brain? by Sharmony B. Kelly, Alistair J. Gunn, Rodney W. Hunt, Robert Galinsky

“…However, our understanding of the pathophysiological substrate underpinning these changes in brain structure and function is limited. The objective of this review is to summarize the growing evidence from animal trials and human cohort studies that suggest exposure to infection/inflammation during the perinatal period promotes regional impairments in neuronal maturation and function, including loss of high-frequency electroencephalographic activity, and reduced growth and arborization of cortical dendrites and dendritic spines resulting in reduced cortical volume. …”
