Evaluation of Urban Water System Development from the Perspective of Space by XIE Qianwen, LIU Jiangtao, WEI Jie, REN Dawei

“…To adapt to the reform of spatial planning in the new era,this study evaluates the urban water system from the new perspective of space and lays the foundation for the future use of spatial means to realize the optimization and sustainable development of urban water system functions.Taking Shenzhen as an example,this paper divides its urban water system space into four types,namely,resource ecology space,engineering facility space,water-city integrated space,and safety risk space,and evaluates them from the dimensions of the total space,composition and layout,system carrying capacity,and space quality.The results indicate that the space occupancy rate of the water system is generally low,and the local water resources and the carrying capacity of the water environment are limited,which are vulnerable to multiple disasters of floods and surges.The potential risk areas are mainly distributed in densely populated areas and industry-intensive areas.The spatial service quality of the water system has great potential for improvement considering the low biodiversity of rivers and lakes,the insufficient attraction of waterfront space,and a low proportion of the complex utilization of facility space.…”

Simulation System of Space-Air-Ground Integrated Micro-Service New Network Architecture in 6G by Junyi YANG, Fandi PEI, Zhaolong XU, Zhenyu XIAO

“…The space-air-ground integrated network is the inevitable trend of 6G development in the future.A set of verifi cation simulation system was designed and set up for the micro-service new network architecture of space-air-ground integrated network in 6G.A four-layer simulation system architecture was proposed, included access user layer, radio unit-distributed unit (RU-DU) layer, NFV case management layer and micro-service network element layer.The whole process of network topology establishment, user registration, session establishment and communication case simulation could be realized, which embodied the function of service-oriented network element.Three basic simulation communication cases, namely communication between users, handover management and session management, were designed, and the feasibility of the new network architecture was verifi ed by the handover management case, which laid the engineering foundation for the iterative evolution of network architecture.…”
