Analysis of coverage probability in NOMA-HetNet based on Matern cluster process by Xiaorong JING, Yixi CHEN, Qianbin CHEN

“…Considering the correlation between the users and base stations and the network irregularity,the non-orthogonal multiple access heterogeneous networks (NOMA-HetNet) based on Matern cluster process (MCP) was modeled.The coverage probability of UEs was analyzed.Firstly,the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratios (SINR) of UEs were theoretically derived.Secondly,an updating law for the upper limit of SINR was presented for the imperfect serial interference elimination (SIC) scheme,which was more consistent with the reality.Then,using the mathematical tools such as spatial coordinate system,probability theory,stochastic geometry theory and order statistics,the correlation probability and service distances of the different types of UEs were analyzed.Finally,the theoretical expression of the coverage probability of UEs was derived.The effects of cluster radius,base station density,interference residual factors on service distances,and coverage probability are verified by numerical simulations.The simulation results are consistent with the theoretical analysis,which testifies the correctness of the theoretical analysis.…”

Performance of cellular network embedded in the cell edge with vertical coverage by co-frequency by HUJin-kang Z, ENGNa D, HAOMing Z

“…A new hybrid cellular network structure is proposed,where the small base stations equipped with the downward vertical coverage of antenna beam are embedded in the cell edge of current cellular using the same frequency,thereby suppressing the inter-cell interference and improving the signal to interference ratio in the cell edge.Specifically,the radio coverage of these small stations is called vertical coverage,and the coverage of current cellular is called horizontal coverage.Since the proposed network structure does not modify the current cellular network infrastructure,it is easy to operate and implement.The cell interference depth and the interference characteristics in the horizontal coverage and the vertical coverage,as well as their spectral efficiencies are analyzed respectively.Then,the spectral efficiencies of the cell center and the cell edge with vertical coverage are investigated concerning on the proposed new hybrid cellular network structure.The results show that the new hybrid cellular network structure proposed can suppress inter-cell interference and improve cell-edge performance effectively,while achieving higher spectral efficiency.…”

On China's image constructed from western news coverage of China's humanitarian aid. by Lei Sun

“…Despite the growing body of research on media representations of China during the COVID-19 outbreak, limited scholarly attention has been devoted to Western news coverage of specific events involving China. Based on a self-built corpus of reports from English-speaking news sources on "China's Humannitarian Aid to Europe (2019-2024)", this study aims to contribute to the scholarship by examining how Western news media represents China's humanitarian aid to Europe, using quantitative and qualitative methods. …”

“…Reconfigurable intelligent metasurface (RIS) is a new type of artificial electromagnetic metamaterial, which can control the frequency, amplitude, phase, polarization, propagation direction and wave type of electromagnetic wave flexibly.In the field of wireless communication, RIS can be used to reconstruct the wireless communication channel to achieve blind coverage of wireless signals and improve the communication quality.First, the development and research status of RIS, the key technologies and application scenarios of RIS were summarized and analyzed.Then, a new passive RIS was proposed to realize the characteristics of the aperture reconfiguration and beam reconfiguration through passive coding and splicing principle, which had the advantages of low cost, low power consumption and low complexity.Finally, the blind area coverage enhancement experiment of indoor wireless signal based on passive reflection metasurface was carried out.The effectiveness of passive splicing metasurface in wireless communication blind coverage scenarios was proved by comparison between simulation and field measurement.In addition, for 5G/6G millimeter wave communication, the passive RIS with double-layer cross dipole elements was designed and applied to typical indoor L-shaped corridor scene to verify the enhancement effect of indoor wireless signal coverage.…”
