Research on Ev-Do Multi-Carrier Coverage Consistency Control by Baofa Hu, Minghui Lin, Wen Chen

“…In the crowded area，China Telecom cdma2000 Ev-Do sector is configured with multi-carrier for improving the capacity.Nevertheless，the users’ experience is influenced because of the carrier’s effective coverage difference.Meanwhile，the traditional optimization methods for multi-carrier coverage such as performance index analysis and drive test are time-consuming and costly.According to the multi-carrier wireless environment typical model and combining with the DRC and call data analysis，an effective method to control the coverage of each carrier was proposed.This method can improve the optimization efficiency of China Telecom cdma2000 network by transforming the empirical method into quantitative strategy.…”

Research on energy-efficient physical-layer secure transmission mechanism in decode-and-forward cooperative networks by Dong WANG, Yong-cheng LI, Bo BAI, Man-xi WANG

“…The maximization problem of secure energy efficiency (EE) in decode-and-forward relay networks was investigated considering the power and energy constraints in physical-layer secure transmission.An iterative algorithm for power allocation was proposed based on fractional programming and DC (difference of convex functions) programming.This algorithm jointly allocated power for source and relay nodes to achieve energy-efficient secure transmission,subject to the peak power constraint of each node and the minimum secrecy rate requirement of the system.Simulation results demonstrate that the propose algorithm can improve the secure EE significantly compared with the conventional secrecy rate maximization strategy.…”

Task scheduling algorithm for distributed environment based on signal-driven by Yu XIN, Jing YANG, Zhi-qiang XIE

“…In order to optimize the performance of user services in IaaS,the task scheduling algorithm for IaaS based on signal-driven is proposed,by which CS(control subsystem) and NS(inquiry nodes subsystem) based on the structural characteristics of the IaaS is established,and the DAG scheduling model based on the structural characteristics of the inquiry task is created.Then the conversion mechanism for the task partitions is created,constructing the signal communication mechanism for CS and NS,changing the status of the task partitions by signal-driven between the CS and NS,completing the task partitions allocation by POSS (parallel optimization selective strategy) in the scheduling time.This algorithm with low complexity is compatible with the distributed architecture of IaaS,because of utilizing dual system control mode.The effectiveness and practicality of this algorithm is verified by experiment.…”

Smart grid interoperability maturity model by Jing ZHOU, Guojun LIU, Ziwei HU, Lifeng LU, Wei ZHANG

“…Smart grid interoperability is a kind of ability that a set of electrical equipments and systems exchange and share information safely,seamlessly and transparently with standard interface.The Grid Wise Architecture Council（GWAC）sponsors using concepts from capability maturity models in the software industry to smart grid interoperability and has been drafted an interoperability maturity model which is being in the project verification stage.The interoperability requirements of the smart grid and the work of the GWAC working group to promote interoperability maturity model（IMM）were analyzed.The evaluation and analysis of the maturity of the smart grid interoperability were studied and discussed.It would effectively help the development of smart grid planning from the dimensions of strategy and tactics to consider the interoperability of smart grid.…”

Low complexity uplink multiuser MIMO detecting algorithm by HEI Yong-qiang1, LI Xiao-hui1, YI Ke-chu1, YANG Hong2

“…Aiming at the uplink multiuser MIMO system,a new space-time detecting algorithm was proposed,in which a linear recombination strategy was imposed on the received signal first,and then the matched filter vectors orthogonal to each users’ interference sets were used to eliminate the interference among users.Finally the signal of each user was line-arly space-time decoded by means of the orthogonal equivalent channel.The design of the algorithm under imperfect channel scenario was also provided.Theory analysis and simulation results reveal that the proposed algorithm has the advantages of low complexity and good robustness,and is superior to other detecting algorithms.…”
