Comparative Analysis of Beamforming Techniques and Beam Management in 5G Communication Systems by Cristina Maria Andras, Gordana Barb, Marius Otesteanu

“…Furthermore, the paper investigates beam management (BM) procedures, which are essential Layer 1 and Layer 2 mechanisms responsible for the dynamic configuration, monitoring, and maintenance of optimal beam pair links between gNodeBs and UEs. The article emphasizes the spectral spectrogram of Synchronization Signal Blocks (SSBs) generated under various deployment scenarios, illustrating how parameters such as subcarrier spacing (SCS), frequency band, and the number of SSBs influence the spectral occupancy and synchronization performance. …”

“Locality – Adaptation” Research of Hydropower Resettlement Communities in the Jinsha River Basin: A Case Study of Ludila Hydropower Station by Fang WANG, Zhuoqi LI, Haoyi XU, Jiaqi YAN

“…Through multi-source data fusion (including remote sensing, demographic statistics, and compensation records) and field investigations, the research quantitatively analyzes the “locality – adaptation” reconstruction process of resettlement communities across the three spatial dimensions of living, production, and cultural spaces.Results1) Land cover evolution: Water storage of hydropower station inundates 37.12 km2 of land (including 21.61 km² of high-quality cultivated land), resulting in a loss of 43.68% of settlement production space. 2) Adjustment of architectural space: 65.8% of dwellings in the original villages are traditional timber-earth buildings with a tile roof, which adapt to the climate environment of concentrated rainfall and sufficient sunshine in the Jinsha River Basin. 48.7% of the resettlement sites adopt unified flat roof planning, and 51.3% realize functional optimization through self-construction or renovation, with the average renovation area reaching 230.9 m2. 3) Transformation of livelihood system: The annual compensation mechanism only restores 15.79% of the cultivated land allocation before resettlement, and the proportion of compensation income drops from 82.71% in the initial stage of relocation to 33.15% after long-term resettlement, driving the adjustment of crop structure to high value-added cash crops. 4) Cultural space reconstruction: In the context of the disappearance of traditional water transport functions, the three cultural relics reconstructed in different places show a symbolic turn. …”
