Spatio-temporal Evolution and Influencing Factors Analysis of Coordinated Development between Urbanization and Water Resources in Yunnan Province by HAN Lihong, PAN Yujun, GAO Qingyan, LIAO Xuewen

“…The study shows that: ① From 2010 to 2021, the urbanization index of Yunnan Province shows a steady growth trend, while the water resources index is a "W"-shaped fluctuation trajectory, with the overall level of system coupling and coordination developing upward. ② In 2010, 2015, and 2021, the spatial development differences in the coupling coordination degree of cities and states are significant, and the overall level is improved; the overall difference of the coupling coordination degree fluctuates with a small decline, and the development difference is the largest in central Yunnan, and the smallest in western Yunnan; the main source of geographical development imbalance is the inter-area difference. ③ The utilization rate of water resource development, the proportion of urban employed population, the per capita green space area of parks, the proportion of secondary and tertiary industries, the amount of urban sewage generation, per capita water resources, and precipitation are the main factors restricting the coordinated development of urbanization and water resources.…”

Lightweight Design Strategy and Performance Optimization of Spaceborne Core Network by Xi CHEN, Yiqun Zhao, Minghan ZHANG, Shan LU, Shihao WANG, Chengchen ZHANG, Xiaofan XU, Ping DU

“…With the growth of global communication demand, the spaceborne core network can not only reduce frequent signaling interactions between satellites and the ground, but also break through the constraints of geographical regions, providing strong support for the integrated network architecture of heaven and earth and global communication operations.However, due to the resource limitations of satellites and the dynamic and time-varying topology of satellite internet on a large scale, the deployment of traditional core network elements in spaceborne environments has encountered significant challenges.This article is dedicated to studying the challenges of lightweight, flexible deployment, and low latency in onboard core networks, aiming to explore new design strategies for onboard lightweight core networks and provide a solid theoretical foundation for global communication operations.Multiple lightweight strategies, including minimum network element set deployment, single network element function tailoring, interface protocol lightweight, network element fusion and reconstruction, platform architecture lightweight, and transmission protocol reconstruction were firstly studied.Then, detailed simulation experiments were conducted on the selected strategies, and the experimental results confirmed that the lightweight processing of the spaceborne core network has superior performance in resource allocation and signaling process.…”
