Optimal relay selection for full duplex SWIPT-NOMA systems with maximal throughput by Taoshen LI, Anni SHI, Zhe WANG, Lu HE

“…To improve the performance of 5G communication system, a full duplex Internet of things (IoT) relay system model was built by introducing the non-orthogonal multi-access (NOMA) technology.For the relay system of simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT), it was considered that the relay node can harvest the energy of the source node, the self-interference signal of the loop channel and the free energy access point (EAP), and NOMA technology was used to forward the source node signal and its own signal to different destination nodes.Based on the model, a power distribution collaboration SWIPT relay selection strategy was proposed to optimize system throughput.Firstly, the problem model was established based on the constraints of communication quality of service and transmission power of source nodes.And then, the original nonlinear 0-1 programming problem was converted into a pair of coupling optimization problem by mathematical transformation, and the optimal relay selection of outer optimization problem was solved based on the optimal solution of the internal optimization problem.Finally, an optimal relay selection algorithm was used to maximize system throughput.Simulation results show that the proposed model and strategy are superior to the traditional maximum-minimum relay selection schemes in terms of throughput gain, and the consideration of EAP can significantly improve the interrupt performance.…”

Internal Force Calculation Method for Beams and Columns Based on Solid Numerical Calculation Results by WEI Gang, YU Jun, LEI Yong, WU Jianxing, SHI Chong, QIU Liewang

“…Solid elements are commonly used for continuous numerical simulations such as finite element and finite difference.The calculation results typically include stress,deformation,and plastic zones.However,these results cannot be directly used for reinforcement design of engineering structures,which are usually reinforced based on internal forces such as bending moment,axial force,and shear force.To address this,we propose a method to calculate the stress of each cross-section point using the linear interpolation method of element edges.The cross-section mesh is divided evenly based on the number of cross-section points,and the divided mesh is considered as the action area of the cross-section point stress to calculate the internal force.Additionally,we calculate the internal force values,including axial force,shear force,and bending moment,for the entire section.We utilize AutoCAD as the result display platform to develop a program that converts the calculation results of solid stress into an internal force diagram.We validate the program using a simple model and apply it to the reinforcement design of specific engineering beams and columns.The research results can serve as a reference for reinforcement analysis based on solid element numerical calculations.…”
