  • Nocturnal Migration in the Tataka Area, Yushan National Park, Taiwan in Autumn 2014

We tested a new detection method for the Tataka Area in Yushan SCIENCE National Park, Taiwan, which is an important alpine stopover site for migratory land- © The Ornithological Society birds. Numerous migrant species have previously been reported from this area during of Japan 2020 bird counts and banding operations. However, these traditional survey methods are incapable of detecting nocturnal migrants. Therefore, we applied acoustic monitoring devices to survey the flight calls of nocturnal migrants in the Tataka Area in order to identify the species and estimate their detection rate. We set up acoustic recorders at five recording stations twice a month during September, October and November, and once in December 2014. We identified 18 nocturnal migrant taxa from 801 hours of recordings. The Black-crowned Night Heron Nycticorax nycticorax was the most frequently recorded species, followed by thrushes (Turdus spp.) and the Brown Shrike Lanius cristatus. Passages of nocturnal migrants occurred during every hour of the night, but with a significantly higher detection rate during the period from 2000 to 2300.

No. 99, Dianyan Rd. Yangmei District, Taoyuan City 32661, Taiwan 2No. 1727, Sec. 4, Taiwan Boulevard, Xitun District, Taichung 40704, Taiwan *Corresponding author Keywords: CoMP networks, Grouping methods. Abstract. Coordinated multi-point (CoMP) networks are inter-cell cooperation mechanisms specifically proposed to enhance transmission of users at cell edge. Therefore, selection appropriate group of cells to provide better transmission service is an important research topic in CoMP networks. In this paper, we proposed two grouping methods in CoMP networks including: (1) the arriving user accesses the same empty channels of his best and second best link quality cells and (2) if there are no same empty channels from his best and second best link quality cells, allow the arriving user to access one of the empty channels from his best or second best link quality cells. Simulation Results show that the proposed model can effectively evaluate influences of system performance of these two grouping methods. Introduction Cooperative techniques are proposed to exploit the spatial diversity gain via cells instead of using multiple antennas. Extensive research on cooperative techniques has been conducted in many communication domains [1-4]. By separating the communication link into two or more links, cooperative cells can provide effective solutions for mitigating the signal decay due to path loss and shadowing effects rather than increasing the transmission power. Research on using a group of cells instead of single cell techniques has been conducted.

Location determination and route tracing of an on-board unit (OBU) in a vehicle is an important capability for CVO. However, large location errors from global positioning system (GPS) receivers may occur in cities that shield GPS signals. Therefore, a highly efficient mobile positioning method is proposed based on the collection and analysis of the cellular network signals of CVO data. Parallel- and cloud-computing techniques are designed into the proposed method to quickly determine the location of an OBU for CVO. Furthermore, this study proposes analytical models to analyze the availability of the proposed mobile positioning method with various outlier filtering criteria. Experimentally, a CVO system was designed and implemented to collect CVO data from Chunghwa Telecom vehicles and to analyze the cellular network signals of CVO data for location determination. A case study found that the average errors of location determination using the proposed method vs.
