Research on Evolutionary Game of Value Co-Creation Behavior of Shared Private Charging Piles of Electric Vehicles by Wenjian Wu, Li Deng, Yu Tao, Xin Wang

“…The initial willingness of both sides to cooperate will affect the evolution path of value co-creation, and the evolution speed of operators is the fastest; (2) under certain conditions, there is an optimal investment scale for both shared charging platform and the private pile, but the increase of marginal cost of both sides will lead to the dilemma of value co-creation, and the marginal cost of operation platform has a greater impact on value co-creation than the private pile; and (3) there is an optimal bearing quantity in the number of shared private piles, and the ratio of marginal cost to income is the key factor affecting value co-creation.…”

Secure resource allocation in hybrid energy-harvesting relay and full-duplex receiver by Wei WANG, Xinrui LI, Liuguo YIN, Guoan ZHANG, Shibing ZHANG

“…Taking into account the wireless physical layer security in energy-constrained relaying systems,a secure resource allocation scheme was proposed under simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) protocol.The utility optimization problem was considered aiming to maximize the secrecy rate by jointly optimizing the power splitting (PS) ratio and the transmit powers under the constraint of the transmit powers of the nodes and the harvested energy of the relay.The objective problem,which is non-convex,was decoupled into two subproblems.One was to optimize the PS ratio,another was to optimize the transmit powers.The optimal solution of the subproblems can be obtained in the closed-form.Then,the suboptimal solution is obtained with the proposed convergent iterative algorithm.Simulation results show the effects of artificial noise signal,residual self-interference signal,transmit power of nodes,amplification factor of relay and other factors on the security performance.Compared with the traditional gradient descent algorithm,the proposed algorithm can reduce more than 80% of the computational load,while the algorithm has the slightly better performance.…”

Dynamic spectrum allocation strategy with probabilistic feedback mechanism and performance analysis by Shun-fu JIN, Shi-ying GE, Zhan-qiang HUO

“…By introducing probabilistic feedback mechanism and energy detection threshold to cognitive radio networks,a novel dynamic spectrum allocation strategy is proposed to trade off the throughput and average delay of secondary users,as well as meet various network requirements.Considering the imperfect sensing results of secondary users,a kind of priority queueing model is established,in which two classes of users may interfere with each other,then the state transition probability matrix is constructed.Employing the method of matrix-geometric solution,the stationary distribution of system model is derived.Accordingly,the expressions for the performance measures in terms of channel utilization,throughput of secondary users,average delay of secondary users and interference ratio of primary users are given.With numerical experiments and system simulations,the effectiveness of the proposed dynamic spectrum allocation strategy is verified.Finally,the optimal design of energy detection threshold is provided.…”

Outage performance of multi-relay collaborative NOMA systems supporting multiple multicast services by Yifei CHU, Xinjie YANG

“…A cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system was proposed to support unicast primary user and multiple multicast services based on multiple relays strategy.Under the Rayleigh channel, the secondary user with the best channel condition from each multicast group was selected as full-duplex relay to decode and forward the unicast primary user’s signal, and the primary user employed the maximum ratio combining (MRC) technique to improve the signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR).The closed-form expressions for the outage probability of primary user in full-duplex and half-duplex modes with multi-relay simultaneous forwarding (MRSF) and optimal relay forwarding (ORF) were derived and verified by Monte Carlo simulations.The results verify that full-duplex relay outperforms half-duplex relay scheme.Furthermore, with same number of multicast groups, the MRSF strategy effectively improve the unicast primary user outage performance, in comparison with ORF strategy, when the number of multicast groups increases, the improvement becomes more significant.…”

Performance analysis for pseudo-random asynchronous FH-CDMA system based on average-hit method by GTao ZHEN, Qi ZENG

“…The pseudo-random M-ary sequence (such as RS code,polynomial code and low-hit zone FH code and so forth) is widely adopted as FH code in FH-CDMA system.However,the performance of FH-CDMA system employing FH sequence is usually evaluated by simulation,and lack of substantial theoretical analysis.A systematic method for modeling the frequency-hit according to the pre-assigned FH code was proposed; then with the proposed model,the analysis for multi-access interference(MAI)was simplified.The numerical relation between the properties of pseudo-random FH code and the error-rate performance of FH-CDMA system was established.Theoretical and simulation results show that the proposed average-hit model is an efficient method to evaluate the frequency hit and the error-rate of pseudo-randomly FH-CDMA system.Meanwhile,the optimal error-rate low-bound of FH-CDMA system which can achieved by pseudo-random FH code is shown in the conclusion.…”
