Comparative Study on Water Resources Carrying Capacity of Key River Basins in the Pearl River Region by JIN Zhanwei, SUN Bo, LIU Hechang

“…In this paper,the evaluation index system of water resources carrying capacity was built in terms of three dimensions of water resources carrying subject,carrying object,and approach.TOPSIS model,coupling coordination model,and production function model were used to analyze the water resources carrying status of 27 key basins in the Pearl River region.The results show that the water resources carrying capacity of Nandu River,Guijiang River,Wanquan River,and Beijiang River basins rank first,and that of Jiuzhou River,Huangni River,Qinjiang River,and Jianjiang River Basins rank second.The internal elements of the water resources system in the key basins are mainly characterized by near imbalance,with 17 near imbalance basins,nine mild imbalance basins,and one moderate imbalance basins.The water resource carrying efficiency curve of key basins shows three types:low,medium,and high.There are four low-efficiency basins,12 medium-efficiency Basins,and 11 high-efficiency basins.A comprehensive comparison of water resources carrying capacity ranking,coupling coordination degree,and carrying efficiency shows that the water resource carrying capacity of the Jiuzhou River,Jianjiang River,and Qinjiang River Basins is poor,while that of the Beijiang River,Xijiang River,Wushui River,Hejiang River,and Tingjiang River Basins is relatively good.The results in this paper can be an important reference for the planning,development,utilization,protection,and management of water resources in the Pearl River region and key river basins.…”

Network slicing resource allocation strategy based on joint optimization by Zaijian WANG, Huimin GU

“…To improve network resource utilization that was decreased by different applications with different requirements in 5G networks, a network slicing resource allocation strategy based on joint optimization was proposed, which was utilized to maximize both network resource utilization and network revenue by comprehensively considering in tra-slice and inter-slice resource schedule.Firstly, the user’s average satisfaction function was defined in the inter-slicing resource allocation problem.Furthermore, in terms of the number of users, slicing schedule delay and priority, a proportional fair resource allocation algorithm based on quality of service (QoS) was proposed, which was employed to achieve the best tradeoff between fairness and the users’ requirements among slices.Secondly, after two functions (service degradation and resource migration) were introduced in the inter-slice resource schedule problem, two price models were established for internal access users and external access users respectively, where congestion and non-congestion conditions were analyzed.According to the proposed price models, a Stackelberg game between the base station and users was constructed, and a global search algorithm with low complexity was leveraged to obtain the best response of the game, where the best tradeoff between the base station revenue and user utility was obtained.Simulation results show that the proposed strategy can effectively improve resource utilization and network revenue while reducing network congestion.Therefore, it can better realize fairness in resource allocation.…”
