Resource optimization of secure energy efficiency based on mmWave massive MIMO-NOMA system with SWIPT by Fei ZHAO, Wanming HAO, Gangcan SUN, Yiqing ZHOU, Fei WANG, Yi WANG

“…The secure energy efficiency (SEE) problem was investigated for the millimeter wave (mmWave) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) non-orthogonal multiplex access (NOMA) systems with simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) in the presence of multiple legitimate receiver (LR) and an eavesdropper.LR was first grouped according to the channel state information and the cluster heads of each group were selected,then the LR of each cluster was served by each beam with NOMA and hybrid precoding technology.Based on this,a SEE maximization problem was formulated by optimizing power allocation and power splitting factors.The Dinkelbach algorithm and first order Taylor approximation were proposed to transform the original non-convex problem into a convex one,and an iterative algorithm was developed to solve it.Finally,numerical results show that the proposed scheme can effectively improve the SEE.…”

Dimension reduction for maximum matchings and the Fastest Mixing Markov Chain by Jain, Vishesh, Pham, Huy, Vuong, Thuy-Duong

“…. \] Our bound is optimal under the Small Set Expansion Hypothesis, and answers a question of Olesker-Taylor and Zanetti, who obtained such a result with $\log \Delta $ replaced by $\log |V|$.In order to obtain our result, we show how to embed a negative-type semi-metric $d$ defined on $V$ into a negative-type semi-metric $d^{\prime }$ supported in $\mathbb{R}^{O(\log \Delta )}$, such that the (fractional) matching number of the weighted graph $(V,E,d)$ is approximately equal to that of $(V,E,d^{\prime })$.…”

Sum-rate maximization in MIMO NOMA system with imperfect CSI by Yanjing SUN, Yang LIU, Jiasi ZHOU, Qi CAO, Song LI

“…In order to solve the problem of maximizing the sum rate under the constraints of transmission power limitation and users’ rates requirements,precoder and receiver were devised by combining multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) based on imperfect channel state information (CSI).To take advantage of successive interference cancellation (SIC) techniques to eliminate interference from weak user’s signal,each data stream of the strong user needed to decode the corresponding weak user’s signal.Since the problem formed was non-convex,it was converted into the problem with the difference of two convex functions (D.C.) by using semi-positive definite programming and first-order Taylor expansion,and a penalty function was used to solve the constraint of the rank of the precoding covariance matrix.The simulation results show that compared with the orthogonal multiple access technology,the proposed D.C.algorithm can improve system sum rate.…”

Bit-filling algorithm for fast subcarrier-selecting in ultrasonic through-metal communication by Linsen XU, Wei YANG, Hongxian TIAN, Tao WU

“…Aiming at the high complexity of the greedy bit-filling algorithm,a bit-filling algorithm for fast subcarrier-selecting used in ultrasonic through-metal communication was proposed.The approximate expression for the BER increment,which was used as the basis for selecting subcarriers in the greedy bit-filling algorithm,was derived by the BER approximation formula and Taylor formula.The subcarrier was selected first and then its BER was calculated.Therefore,it was unnecessary for the greedy bit-filling algorithm to calculate new BER of all subcarriers.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve nearly the same data rate as the greedy bit-filling algorithm and save the BER calculation of about <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mfrac> <mn>3</mn> <mn>4</mn> </mfrac> </math></inline-formula> subcarriers,greatly reducing the amount of calculation.…”

The problem of respect in environmental philosophy by Barbora Baďurová

“…The approach is analyzed also from the point of view of Kant’s ethics, nevertheless the author examines it also from the standpoints of various contemporary environmental ethicists (e.g. Taylor, Goodpaster, Katz, Lo). However, author concludes that understanding respect as a virtue appears to be a most promising approach in contemporary environmental ethics because it can solve the problem of finding balanced interpretation of respect.…”
