Stackelberg games-based distributed algorithm of pricing and resource allocation in heterogeneous wireless networks by Yong JIANG, Shan-zhi CHEN, Bo HU

“…To deal with resource allocation in heterogeneous wireless networks,an algorithm based on multi-leader multi-follower Stackelberg games model was proposed to satisfy optimal utility of both operators and mobile users.The mobile user’s utility function with payoff and cost was designed,and it was demonstrated that the utility function obey concave function condition after defining operator price strategy,which assured the existence of Nash equilibrium point.A distributed iterative algorithm was presented to obtain optimal strategies of mobile user’s bandwidth allocation and operator’s pricing.At last,simulation experiments acquire player’s optimal strategies and Subgame perfect Nash equilibrium.…”

Application of bilateral fusion model based on CNN in hyperspectral image classification by Hongmin GAO, Xueying CAO, Yao YANG, Zaijun HUA, Chenming LI

“…Aiming at the issues of decreasing spatial resolution and feature loss caused by pooling operation in depth CNN-based hyperspectral image classification algorithm,a bilateral fusion block network （DFBN）composed of bilateral fusion blocks was designed.The upper structure of bilateral fusion block was constituted by 1×1 convolution and hyperlink,which was used to transfer local spatial characteristics.The lower structure was constituted by pooling layer,convolutional layer,deconvolution layer and upsampling to enhance the characteristics of efficient discrimination.Experimental results on three benchmark hyperspectral image data sets illustrate that the model is superior to other similar classification models.…”

A Frequency Selection Method Based on the Pole Characteristics by Songyan Yang, Weibo Deng, Qiang Yang, Guangxin Wu, Ying Suo

“…Due to the heavy jamming band of high frequency, frequency selecting strategies are serious issues for the system designed to achieve its best performance. Pole is independent of the direction and polarization of the incident wave, but the residue corresponding to the pole is related to the direction and polarization of the incident wave. …”

Surface sliding mode controller for chaotic oscillation in power system with power disturbance by Fuhong MIN, Hanyuan MA, Yaoda WANG

“…With the rapid development of the power industry,the possibility of chaotic oscillation increases in the power system,and the importance of maintaining the stability of the power system is prominent.Through a fourth-order power system model with power perturbation term built,the Lyapunov exponent spectrum,bifurcation diagram and spectral entropy were analyzed,respectively.The influence of power disturbance terms on power system motion was discussed in detail.Moreover,a dynamic surface sliding mode controller was designed based on the switching function with relay characteristics.Simulation results show that the controller can suppress the chaotic oscillation quickly and smoothly,and effectively avoid chattering and own strong robustness.…”

Preliminary Research on Reinforcement Schemes for New Composite Dam Structure of Mortar Masonry-Concrete ——A Case Study of Chi'ao Reservoir in Shenzhen City by CHEN Yu, YANG Xiuchun, DU Jiakai, XU Menghua

“…The main masonry dam of Chi'ao Reservoir in Shenzhen faces insufficient overall anti-sliding stability safety margin and leakage of the left dam abutment.In view of these problems,this paper proposed a new reinforcement technology for a composite dam of mortar masonry-concrete based on engineering characteristics and designed two different reinforcement schemes for the composite dam of mortar masonry-concrete,such as anti-seepage reinforcement before the dam and the thickening reinforcement after the dam.Furthermore,the paper evaluated the anti-sliding stability and anti-seepage effect of the two schemes.The results show that both schemes meet the relevant specification requirements.…”
