Low-power transmission method for uplink millimeter-wave massive MIMO-NOMA system based on GSIC by Hui WANG, Qixin TAI, Liu LIU, Hong WANG, Rongfang SONG

“…The combination of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and millimeter-wave (mmWave) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) can meet the requirements for huge throughput and massive connectivity in future wireless communication network.The total system power minimization for uplink mmWave massive MIMO-NOMA was studied, and a novel framework for a hybrid beamforming mmWave massive MIMO-NOMA uplink transmission system was proposed based on group-level successive interference cancellation (GSIC).Specifically, users were grouped according to channel gain, intergroup users being served by NOMA and intra group users being served by space division multiple access.By designing analog beamforming matrices for different groups and performing joint optimization for digital beamforming and power control, a parallel iterative algorithm was proposed to solve the optimization problem.Simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional mmWave massive MIMO-NOMA based on clustering and user-level SIC in terms of total power consumption.…”

Research progress on modification of hemodialysis membranes with anticoagulant properties by Xuan WANG, Zehua LI, Runjie SHI, Tiantian LI, Ruolin WANG, Chunmei NIU

“…The dialysis membrane is the most important component of hemodialyzer, and its performance depends on the feasibility and biocompatibility of removing toxic solutes. However, when the membrane material is in contact with blood directly, plasma proteins will quickly adsorb on the surface of the membrane and bind to the glycoprotein receptors on platelets, resulting in platelet activation, coagulation cascade and complement activation. …”
