Downlink wireless resource allocation method of V2X based on wireless sensing assistance by Zhimin HE, Yuzhe LIN, Yujie CHENG, Shi YAN

“…In vehicle-to-everything, the high-speed distribution and sharing of perception and safety data is crucial to road safety.However, the instability of communication links caused by high-speed vehicle movement will make the existing communication resource allocation methods based on vehicle location information reporting no longer efficient.Therefore, a downlink wireless resource allocation method based on wireless sensing assistance of communication nodes was proposed.Firstly, a joint optimization problem of communication mode selection and wireless resource allocation under the orthogonality of communication and sensing resources was constructed.Then, a communication mode selection based on clustering by Delaunay triangulation and a resource allocation strategy based on improved graph coloring to improve the downlink throughput was proposed to solve the problem of construction.Finally, the impact of wireless sensing estimation error and the number of vehicles on the performance of the algorithm was simulated and analyzed.Simulation results show that compared with traditional methods, the proposed algorithm can obtain better downlink communication performance gain under the same proportion of sensing bandwidth resources, and can withstand the impact of larger sensing errors on performance.At the same time, the computational complexity of the proposed algorithm is lower and the network computing resources can be saved.…”

‘Communication, that is the key’: a qualitative investigation of how essential workers with COVID-19 responded to public health information by Yanbing Chen, Claire Buckley, Elizabeth Alvarez, Conor Buggy, Mark Roe, Mary Codd, Anne Drummond, Carolyn Ingram, Penpatra Sripaiboonkij, Carla Perrotta, Mary Archibald, Vicky Downey, Natalia Rachwal

“…All individuals were identified as part of workplace outbreaks defined as ≥2 individuals with epidemiologically linked infections.Results A total of four high-order themes were identified: (1) accessing essential information early, (2) responses to emerging ‘infodemic’, (3) barriers to ongoing engagement and (4) communication strategies. Thirteen lower order or subthemes were identified and agreed on by the researchers.Conclusions Our findings provide insights into how people infected with COVID-19 sought and processed related health information throughout the pandemic. …”

Vibration Signal Analysis of Journal Bearing Supported Rotor System by Cyclostationarity by Chang Peng, Lin Bo

“…Cyclostationarity has been widely used as a useful signal processing technique to extract the hidden periodicity of the energy flow of the mechanical vibration signature. However, the conventional cyclostationarity is restricted to analyzing the real-valued signal, which is incapable of processing the constructed complex-valued signal obtained from the journal bearing supported rotor system operating with oil film instability. …”
