Performance Evaluation of CLM5 in Simulating Evapotranspiration over Pearl River Basin by WANG Dayang

“…To investigate the simulation performance of the Community Land Model version 5 (CLM5) in simulating terrestrial evapotranspiration,this paper simulated the surface processes in the Pearl River Basin (PRB) from 1989 to 2018 with CLM5.For validation,the remote sensing-based GLEAM ET products were used as reference for the evaluation of the model's simulation performance.The evaluation was based on temporal variability analysis and spatial pattern analysis.The results show that CLM5 underestimates the evapotranspiration in the PRB to varying degrees,with the relative error of average annual evapotranspiration being -16.07% in the basin.The underestimation is mainly attributed to the underestimation of low evapotranspiration in the cold season. …”

Quality of service based hierarchical resource allocation algorithm by Cheng DING, Jinrong CHEN, Xiaodong CAO, Yi WANG

“…Wireless sensor network (WSN) is widely used in the internet of things (IoT) scene because of its small size, low cost and strong sensing ability.How to improve the quality of service (QoS) under the premise of load balancing in WSN has become the focus of many scholars.Based on the study of heuristic resource allocation method and hierarchical structure resource allocation method in WSN, a quality of service based hierarchical resource allocation algorithm (QoSHRA) was proposed.Firstly, the resource allocation method based on low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH) made the whole network form a hierarchical structure.Then, QoSHRA was used for resource allocation.The simulation results show that QoSHRA can further save the energy consumption of network transmission, ensure the effectiveness of service allocation, and improve the satisfaction rate of network resource QoS requirements on the premise of ensuring network load balancing.…”

Receiver design of sparse Bayesian learning based MIMO-OFDM power line communication system by Xinrong LYU, Youming LI, Yongqing WU, Xiaobo TANG

“…The rich impulsive noise in the power line channel poses a huge challenge to the design of MIMO-OFDM transceiver.To solve this problem, a design scheme that can jointly estimate the channel and impulsive noise was proposed, which exploited the parametric sparsity of the classical multipath model and the sparsity of the time domain impulsive noise.In this scheme, the unknown channel model parameters and the impulsive noise were jointly regarded as a sparse vector.By observing the spatial correlation of MIMO system, a compressed sensing model based on multiple measurement vectors was constructed.The multiple response sparse Bayesian learning theory was introduced to jointly estimate the MIMO channel parameters and impulsive noise.The simulation results show that, compared with the traditional receiver scheme that considers MIMO channel estimation and impulsive noise suppression separately, the receiver proposed has a significant improvement in channel estimation performance and bit error rate performance.…”

NLOS location enhancement algorithm based on depth-first multipath parameter estimation by Xiaofeng LU, Ye DONG, Yuejie LI

“…In order to improve the positioning accuracy of millimeter wave system with non-line-of-sight (NLOS) paths, a depth-first multipath parameter estimation algorithm was proposed based on distributed compressed sensing.According to the evaluated multipath parameters, NLOS path could be identified, so that the localization performance was enhanced.Firstly, depth-first algorithm was applied to reduce the unnecessary path searching, and the more accurate multipath parameters were obtained.Secondly, under the reverse positioning distance residual method, NLOS path recognition could be carried out.Then, the scatterers in the NLOS path were matched, and the position of which were regarded as virtual anchor nodes.Combining the information of base stations and virtual anchor nodes, positioning enhancement was realized.Finally, localization performance of the proposed algorithm was simulated, compared with the distance weighted least square (LS) and maximum discrimination transformation (MDT) algorithms, the performance of the proposed algorithm is improved by 17% and 8% respectively.…”

Data quality optimized online task allocation method for mobile crowdsensing by Wei ZHANG, Zhuo LI, Xin CHEN

“…Optimization of the perceived quality and the recruitment of user are two important issues of mobile crowdsensing.As the amount of data increases rapidly,perceived data becomes redundant,and perceived quality is at risk of decreasing.A mechanism of task assignment based on the perceptive quality optimization was proposed to improve the perceived quality under the condition of full coverage.The clustering algorithm was used to evaluate the truth value of the task and quantify the quality of the user data.Based on Thompson sampling algorithm and greedy algorithm,a user recruitment strategy was designed and implemented to optimize the perceived quality on the basis of ensuring the spatial coverage of the task.The performance of Thompson based user recruit (TSUR) algorithm was simulated and analyzed that compared with the existing algorithms of BBTA and basic user recruitment (BUR).Experiments show that in the same area,compared with bandit-based task assignment (BBTA) algorithm and BUR algorithm,the quality of the cumulative sensing data was improved by 16% and 20%,and the spatial coverage was improved by 30% and 22%.…”
