Spectrum sensing is a fundamental component in a cognitive radio network to utilize the frequency bands effectively. In this article a fast Riemannian distance-based k-medoids (FRDk)-based cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) method is developed to identify the state of primary user (PU). In particular, two CSS scenarios are considered, one is secondary users (SUs) with a single antenna and the other is SUs with multiple antennas. In the multiantenna case, a Riemannian mean-based data fusion method is proposed to fuse sensing data from SUs with multiple antennas. To implement CSS, we propose a FRDk-based framework, where SUs collect sensing data, preprocess, and upload these data to an appointed fusion center (FC). Then, the FC transforms these data as samples on a manifold and uses the FRDkalgorithm to train a classifier for identifying the state of PU. Furthermore, the convergence and the complexity analysis of training process are presented. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed FRDk-based CSS method is verified under different conditions.

Due to the influence of environmental factors (i.e., terrain and surface coverage) around the GPS receivers, the snow depth retrieval results obtained by the existing global positioning system interferometric reflection (GPS-IR) method show significant variability. The resulting loss of reliability and accuracy limits the broad application of this technology. Therefore, this paper proposes a dynamic snow depth retrieval model based on time-series clustering optimization for GPS-IR to fully leverage multi-source satellite observation data for automatic and high-precision snow depth retrieval. The model employs Dynamic Time Warping distance measurement combined with the k-medoids clustering algorithm to categorize frequency sequences obtained from various satellite trajectories, facilitating effective integration of multi-constellation data and acquisition of optimal datasets. Additionally, Long Short-Term Memory networks are integrated to capture and process the long-term dependencies in snow depth data, enhancing the model's adaptability in handling time-series data. Validated against SNOTEL measured data and standard machine learning algorithms (such as BP Neural Networks, RBF, and SVM), the model's retrieval capability is confirmed. For P351 and AB39 sites, the correlation coefficients for L1 band data retrieval were both 0.996, with RMSEs of 0.051 and 0.018 m, respectively. The experiment results show that the proposed model demonstrates superior precision and robustness in snow depth retrieval compared to the previous method. Then, we analyze the accuracy loss caused by sudden snowfall events. The proposed model and methodology offer new insights into the in-depth study of snow depth monitoring. (c) 2024 COSPAR.

Composite insulations are routinely deployed as protective measures against high-temperature environments and corrosive influences on metal substrates. However, aging and cyclic processes cause defects, including metal substrate-insulating layer delamination. Despite the growth of artificial intelligence-driven microwave approaches for defect detection, precise quantification of defect severity, particularly in terms of size, presents a low accuracy. These challenges are due to the intrinsic irregularity characterizing glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRP), coupled with the presence of outliers within microwave measurement data. This study presents a novel microwave approach with a k-medoid clusteringalgorithm to improve the reliability of defect detection. This method measures and analyzes wave reflection from a waveguide probe operating at 18-26.5 GHz, scanning on a coated metal substrate. A well-calibrated vector network analyzer (VNA) evaluates the reflected wave responses, which are then analyzed using a Gaussian filter and the k-medoidsclustering technique. The acquired microwave data are transformed to the time domain to reveal subsurface defects hidden behind the insulation. The k-medoid technique uses these properties to cluster data for accurate defect inspection and sizing. By eliminating dataset outliers, defect size assessment beneath insulating layers is improved. The proposed algorithm is tested using measured data for validation. The proposed algorithm achieves an accuracy of 81.21% in predicting defect size and can locate defects down to 1 mm depth. The proposed algorithm emerges as a robust and promising model for defect detection, providing substantial contributions across diverse industrial realms.

Rapid urbanization in mountainous areas has caused unbalanced development, land use conflicts, and decreased urban spatial efficiency (USE) due to terrain constraints and disorderly land expansion, and this issue has not been fully explored. To address this gap, this study constructs a framework to quantify the impacts of landscape gradients on urban spatial efficiency. By developing indicator systems to characterize both landscape heterogeneity and urban spatial efficiency, the relationships between these factors are analyzed using the Boosting Regression Trees model, and clusters are identified to reveal spatial differentiation through key landscape gradient indicators. The results indicate that (1) the Summit Density (Sds) of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) exhibits the most significant negative impact on urban spatial efficiency, especially on spatial utilization efficiency;(2) the Root Mean Square Slope (Sdq) of Digital Elevation negatively affects traffic and public services efficiency;(3) the Texture Direction Index (Stdi) of building distribution has the most significant positive impact on public service efficiency. In mountainous environments, different landscape gradient types exhibit clear contrasts in urban spatial efficiency. Varied elevations lead to diverse construction sites and building layouts within urban blocks, resulting in spatial differentiation of urban spatial efficiency. This study enhances the use of gradient surface metrics in urban spatial research by describing landscape patterns and heterogeneity at the block scale. It offers valuable insights for urban planning and design with a focus on equity and sustainability.

In a centralized cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) system, it is vulnerable to malicious users (MUs) sending fraudulent sensing data, which can severely degrade the performance of CSS system. To solve this problem, we propose sensing data fusion schemes based on k-medoids and Mean-shift clusteringalgorithms to resist the MUs sending fraudulent sensing data in this paper. The cognitive users (CUs) send their local energy vector (EVs) to the fusion center which fuses these EVs as an EV with robustness by the proposed data fusion method. Specifically, this method takes a medoids of all EVs as an initial value and searches for a high-density EV by iteratively as a representative statistical feature which is robust to malicious EVs from MUs. It does not need to distinguish MUs from CUs in the whole CSS process and considers constraints imposed by the CSS system such as the lack of information of PU and the number of MUs. Furthermore, we propose a global decision framework based on fast k-medoids or Mean-shift clusteringalgorithm, which is unaware of the distributions of primary user (PU) signal and environment noise. It is worth noting that this framework can avoid the derivation of threshold. The simulation results reflect the robustness of our proposed CSS scheme.

Government data sharing can effectively improve the efficiency and quality of government services and enhance the ability of providing government services. However, data sharing may bring the risk of citizen privacy leakage. It is a challenging problem on improving government governance and service levels when sharing government data while guaranteed citizens' privacy. For the diversity types and complex attributes of government data, this paper proposes a cluster-based anonymous table data sharing privacy protection method (CATDS). Firstly, preprocessing the data table. According to the correlation degree between attributes, the clusteringalgorithm is used to divide the data attribute column to generate multiple tables. That can reduce the data dimension and improve the algorithm execution speed. Then clustering the table data usingk-medoids clustering algorithm to generate a clustering result table that initially satisfies the k-anonymity requirement. That can reduce the next generalization degree and improve the data availability. Finally, anonymizing the resulting clusters through generalization technique to ensure the privacy of the shared data. By comparing the CATDS with the Incognito algorithm which is a classical k-anonymity algorithm, it is proved that the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce the amount of information loss and improve the availability of shared table data while protecting the private information of shared table data.

To solve the problem of low sensing performance and low accuracy of threshold estimation in traditional spectrum sensing systems with low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), we proposes a cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) method based on signal decomposition and k-medoids clustering algorithm. Firstly, to improve the sensing performance of the system in the case of fewer cooperative secondary users, a feature extraction method based on empirical mode decomposition and matrix decomposition and recombination is proposed. The method can accurately acquire the characteristic information of the sampled signal and improve the feature accuracy. Finally, the features are classified using the k-medoids clustering algorithm. In the experimental part, the result shows that the method can effectively improve the sensing performance of the spectrum sensing system at low SNR.

The principal aim of this paper is to present a novel speech transmission system that conveys speech between an actuator in a wearable wristwatch and the ear bone of a user through a finger. If an individual wears a smart watch equipped with an actuator that can play speech sent via communication lines, speech vibrations propagate from the actuator to fingertips through the human tissue and bone. When an individual places his or her finger into their ear, speech conducted through the finger can be registered and heard. While listening to finger-conducted speech, sounds are muffled, significantly degrading the intelligibility of speech. To mitigate this problem, a formant enhancement filter is applied to the speech prior to being fed into the actuator. With this method, the impulse response of human tissue and bones between the fingertips and wrist on which the watch is worn is first estimated to account for speaker-dependent distortion. Based on the estimated impulse response, a gain filter is used to boost the sound spectra, especially within the formant regions, to compensate for frequency distortion prior to speech transmission. On the other hand, since the impulse responses of humans are quite different for each individual, we propose the novel idea of a personalized algorithm that guides users to select an appropriate gain filter, using the k-medoids clustering algorithm. Also, when an individual uses the proposed system, speech quality is degraded due to the ambient noise and acoustic echo between the microphone and actuator in the watch. Thus, to reduce background noise and acoustic echo, an integrated acoustic echo and background noise suppression algorithm is employed. Extensive simulations of the proposed system were performed by creating a novel phantom, which mimics the human hand with an aid of an ear simulator. We demonstrate that the proposed system has improved speech quality, when transmitting speech from the wearable wristwatch to a human perceptua
