Liability for Damage Caused by Loadshedding: A Consideration of Whether Collective Action for Redress by Consumers in South Africa is Possible by Tshepiso Scott-Ngoepe

“…Loadshedding, which is characterised by a chronic shortage in the supply of electricity, was introduced into South African society in 2007 as a mechanism to distribute the demand for electricity. Its purpose is to relieve the stress on the national power grid when the demand is high to prevent a national blackout. …”

Semantic communication networking for the intelligence of everything by Guangming SHI, Yong XIAO, Yingyu LI, Dahua GAO, Xuemei XIE

“…With the fast growing demand for the wireless network intelligence, the future communication system will transform from the traditional data-oriented solution to a novel intelligence-of-everything (IoE)-based architecture.Semantic communication is a new communication technology which involves the meaning of message into the communication process.It is believed that semantic communication will have the potential to serve as the fundamental paradigm for the future IoE.The relationship between the semantic communication and IoE was discussed and the basic models and fundamental components of semantic communication were introduced.By discussing the limitations of point-to-point semantic communication, it was argued that the knowledge sharing and resource convergence-based semantic communication networking would be ideal for supporting the future massive scales of IoE systems.The basic components of the semantic communication networking system were discussed and a federated edge intelligence-based semantic communication networking architecture as a case study was considered.Simulation results show that semantic communication networking has the potential to further reduce the resource demand and improve the efficiency of semantic communication.Finally, open problems for future research were discussed.…”

Research on low-energy-consumption deployment of emergency UAV network for integrated communication-navigating-sensing by Li WANG, Qing WEI, Lianming XU, Yuan SHEN, Ping ZHANG, Aiguo FEI

“…In public emergencies such as accident relief, rescue workers are faced with challenges, such as poor communication, unstable navigating, and inaccurate disaster sensing.It is necessary to deploy an emergency unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) network to guarantee the services of communication-navigating-sensing.Aiming at alleviating the problem of limited energy of UAV, a low-energy-consumption deployment of an emergency UAV network was first proposed for integrated communication-navigating-sensing (ICNS).The proposed scheme was able to realize network topology reconstruction and role cognition on demand.Then, a particle swarm algorithm based hierarchical matching decision-making algorithm was presented to jointly optimize three sub-problems, including the associations between UAVs and users, the resource allocation for multi-role UAV communications, and the UAV position.Simulation results show that the proposed ICNS scheme can achieve flexible adaptation of the multi-objective requirements and limited network resources, and dramatically reduce the demand for the number of UAVs and the deployment energy consumption.…”
