Relay selection algorithm based on selfish behavior analysis in ultra-dense D2D by Yijun WANG, Youxu ZHANG, Dakun LIU, Guifen CHEN

“…In ultra-dense D2D communication, the current relay selection schemes mainly assume that the relay device has the initiative to participate in data forwarding, but some rational relay devices may delay or refuse to forward due to their own considerations, thus affecting the user experience.From the perspective of selfish behavior of relay devices, a method to identify selfish relay devices in D2D communication was proposed, and then an ultra-dense D2D relay selection algorithm based on selfish behavior analysis was proposed.Firstly, three relay identification attribute factors, namely joint interest degree (JID), forwarding history ratio (FHR) and relay physical state (RPS) were defined, and their weights were calculated by triangular fuzzy function to identify relay devices with selfish behavior.Secondly, based on the TOPSIS (technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution) method, the final relay equipment selection scheme relay was realized.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can identify selfish relay devices more effectively in D2D communication.Compared with other relay selection algorithms, the proposed algorithm has made significant progress in the aspects of D2D communication forwarding success rate, system average throughput and average time delay.…”

A New Scalar Quantization Method for Digital Image Watermarking by Yevhen Zolotavkin, Martti Juhola

“…The proposed technique performance is affirmed by comparing with state-of-the-art methods including Quantization Index Modulation (QIM), Distortion Compensated QIM (DC-QIM), and Rational Dither Modulation (RDM). Considerable improvements demonstrated by the method are due to a new form of distribution of quantized samples and a procedure that recovers a watermark after GA. …”

Q Value Evaluation of Groundwater Quality under Plains in the Lower Reaches of the Yarkant River by DENG Ensong, LIU Yujiang, MA Ningxin, HUANG Shunyong

“…Evaluating groundwater quality plays an important role in the rational use of groundwater resources and groundwater environmental protection in the later period.Among 35 groups of groundwater quality test data taken in Tumxuk City,a plain area in the lower reaches of the Yarkant River in Xinjiang,the groundwater quality of 32 groups is Class V.A comprehensive evaluation model of groundwater quality is established by principal component analysis (PCA) with ten factors exceeding thresholds of Class V as evaluation indexes,including turbidity,total hardness,total dissolved solids,sulfates,chlorides,sodium,nitrites,fluorides,cadmium,and lead.Further,this paper proposes the method of calculating the Q value of groundwater quality and the fine classification standard of Q value,on the basis of which the groundwater in Class V can be sub-classified into V₁—V₄ classes.The evaluation results show that the groundwater quality in 2,24,and 6 groups is V₂,V₃,and V₄,respectively. …”
