Secure performance analysis of WCDMA systems over correlated Nakagami fading channels by Guangqiu LI, Zhanwan WANG, Tingjie REN, Shuaishuai LIU

“…In order to evaluate the security performance of wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) over multiple-input and multiple-output fading channels,a time-saving and efficient solution is theoretical analysis.The exact analytical expressions of the non-zero security capacity probability and the security outage probability of WCDMA systems using space-time block codes and 2D Rake receivers (2D-Rake) on the relevant Nakagami fading channels was deduced.Using the above expressions,the effects of parameters such as the number of transmit and receive antennas,antenna correlation coefficient,Nakagami fading coefficient,and average path attenuation coefficient on the security performance of the WCDMA system could be quickly evaluated.The numerical calculation was in good agreement with the simulation results,which proved the correctness of the above theoretical analysis.The analytical expression of the asymptotic safety outage probability of WCDMA system was deduced.The results show that the security diversity gain of WCDMA system is the sum of the diversity gains on the separable paths of the main channel,and has nothing to do with the eavesdropping channel; the same for the constant multipath intensity profile The Nakagami fading channel is distributed,and the security diversity gain of the WCDMA system is the product of the number of received and transmitted antennas of the primary channel,the number of multipaths,and the Nakagami fading coefficient.…”

Decoupling Relationship Between Water Resources Utilization and Economic Development in Henan Province Based on Water Footprint-Extended LMDI Model by LU Qiuyu

“…Aiming at the related problems of water resources constraining economic development in Henan Province,this paper constructs the water footprint-extended LMDI model,decomposes the decoupling driving factors into four decoupling factors,and studies the decoupling relationship between water resources utilization and economic development in Henan Province from 2004 to 2018.The results show that:In terms of the possession and self-sufficiency rate of total per capital water footprint,the overall water shortage in Henan Province has been alleviated,but it is still in a state of shortage;In terms of decoupling state,the overall decoupling of Henan Province is in a good statel,the decoupling state of agricultural water is relatively stable,and the hydrological year has an impact on the agricultural virtual water consumption and decoupling state;In terms of decoupling factor decomposition,the technological decoupling factor contributes to the decoupling in Henan Province,the industrial structure and scale economy are the main promoting and inhibiting factors of decoupling,respectively,and the change of population driving factor has no obvious inhibiting effect on decoupling in Henan Province.Therefore,it is necessary to improve the utilization efficiency of water resources,the repetition rate of industrial water use,and improve the agricultural irrigation water-saving technology in Henan Province.…”
