Mutual Information Maximization via Joint Power Allocation in Integrated Sensing and Communications System

In this paper, we focus on the power allocation of Integrated Sensing and Communication(ISAC) with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) waveform. In order to improve the spectrum utilization efficiency in ISAC, we propose a design scheme based on spectrum sharing, that is,to maximize the mutual information(MI) of radar sensing while ensuring certain communication rate and transmission power constraints. In the proposed scheme, three cases are considered for the scattering off the target due to the communication signals,as negligible signal, beneficial signal, and interference signal to radar sensing, respectively, thus requiring three power allocation schemes. However,the corresponding power allocation schemes are nonconvex and their closed-form solutions are unavailable as a consequence. Motivated by this, alternating optimization(AO), sequence convex programming(SCP) and Lagrange multiplier are individually combined for three suboptimal solutions corresponding with three power allocation schemes. By combining the three algorithms, we transform the non-convex problem which is difficult to deal with into a convex problem which is easy to solve and obtain the suboptimal solution of the corresponding optimization problem. Numerical results show that, compared with the allocation results of the existing algorithms, the proposed joint design algorithm significantly improves the radar performance.

Narrowband interference suppression in TR-UWB system based on cognitive radio theory

A cognitive radio transmitted reference ultra-wideband（CR-TR-UWB） system is proposed to improve the performance of TR-UWB systems with narrowband interference（NBI） from primary users（PU）.The transmitter of the CR-TR-UWB system detects the band of PU,and then sends prolate spheroidal wave functions（PSWF） pulses with the same limited band as PU＇s to reduce interference with PU.The receiver uses a notch filter before autocorrelation to eliminate NBI from PU.The simulation results show that the bit error rate（BER） performance of the CR-TR-UWB system is close to that of TR-UWB systems without NBI when the system is interfered by single or double NBIs with a signal to interference ratio（SIR） of 0 dB,and if the signal to noise ratio（SNR） is 10 dB and the SIR varies from-20 to 10 dB,BER performance varies no more than an order of magnitude.The system has excellent resistance to NBI,strong robustness BER performance at different SNRs,and smaller interference with the same frequency band PU.

Thermodynamic model of lead oxide activity in PbO-CaO-SiO_2-FeO-Fe_2O_3 slag system

According to the ion and molecule coexistence theory, a thermodynamic model of lead oxide activity in PbO-CaO-SiO2-FeO-Fe2O3 slag system was established at the temperature of 1273-1733 K. The activities of Pb O in slag were calculated, and their equal activity curves were plotted. The influences of slag basicity Q, iron oxide rate R and temperature T on activity NPb O and activity coefficient γPbO were also investigated. Results show that the calculated values of γPb O are in good agreement with the reported experimental data, showing that the model can wholly embody the slag structural characteristics. NPbO departures positively from Raoult values, and increases with increasing Pb O content in slag but changes little with T. γPbO increases with increasing Q, and goes through the maximum with increasing R for basic slag（Q0.3）. Results can be applied to the thermodynamic research and operational optimization of modern lead smelting technologies.

THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF MASS ACTION IN COMBINATION WITH THE COEXISTENCE THEORY OF SLAG STRUCTURE TO THE MULTICOMPONENT SLAG SYSTEMS

It is shown by the the law of mass action in combination with the coexistence theory of slag structure that KMn n =NMno /(NFeo [%Mn] does not change with basicities and maintains constant at constant temperature; the oxidizing capabilities of multicomponent slag systems containing CaO, MgO etc., can be expressed by NFe tO =NFeO + 6NFe2 O3 + 8NFe3O4; the desulfurizing capabilities of various basic oxides for multicomponent slag systems can be calculated by Ls=8(KCaSNCaO+KMgsNMgo +KFeSNFeO)∑n/[%O]; the dephosphorizing capabili- ties of CaO-MgO-FeO-FeO O3-P2 O5 as well as CaO-FeO-Fe2 O3-A12 O3-P2 O5 molten slags expressed respectively by Lpo=(%P2O5)/[P]2 = 141.94[%O]5∑nK00(1 + K5N2Cao + K6N3CaO + K7N4CaO + K8N2MgO + K9N3MgO + K10N3FeO + K11N4Feo); LPO=(%P2O5)/[P]2= 141.94[%O]5∑nK00(1 + K10N2CaO+ K11N3CaO+ K12N4CaO + K13N3FeO + K14N4FeO) have good agreement with practical values.

Bifurcation behavior and coexisting motions in a time-delayed power system

With the increase of system scale, time delays have become unavoidable in nonlinear power systems, which add the complexity of system dynamics and induce chaotic oscillation and even voltage collapse events. In this paper, coexisting phenomenon in a fourth-order time-delayed power system is investigated for the first time with different initial conditions.With the mechanical power, generator damping factor, exciter gain, and time delay varying, the specific characteristic of the time-delayed system, including a discontinuous ＂jump＂ bifurcation behavior is analyzed by bifurcation diagrams, phase portraits, Poincar′e maps, and power spectrums. Moreover, the coexistence of two different periodic orbits and chaotic attractors with periodic orbits are observed in the power system, respectively. The production condition and existent domain of the coexistence phenomenon are helpful to avoid undesirable behavior in time-delayed power systems.

Coexistence Analysis between 5G System and Fixed- Satellite Service in 3400-3600 MHz

The 3400-3600 MHz band is one of the most important candidate frequency bands for the rollout of 5 G system. However, the coexistence between 5 G system and fixed-satellite service(FSS) in this frequency band is one of the most challenging problems for both academic researchers and industry engineers. In this paper, the saturation interference from 5 G base stations to the existing FSS above 3600 MHz is analyzed and the coexistence solution is achieved, which can reduce the interference and guarantee the coexistence between 5 G system and FSS. Furthermore, the Monte Carlo simulation, laboratory test and field test are carried out to verify the coexistence solution.Results show that an isolation distance of 1-2 km is required to avoid the saturation interference in terms of the adjacent bands scenario.To further reduce the isolation distance to 50 m, additional isolation of 35 dB will be necessary, which can be fulfilled by installing a filter at the input port of LNB from a real implementation perspective.

Universal thermodynamic model of calculating the mass action concentrations of omponents in a ternary strong electrolyte aqueous solution and its application in the NaCl-KCl-H_2O system

A universal thermodynamic model of calculating the mass action concentrations of components in a ternary strong electrolyte aqueous solution has been developed based on the ion and molecule coexistence theory,and verified in the NaCl-KCl-H2O ternary system at 298.15 K. To compare the difference of the thermodynamic model in binary and ternary strong electrolyte aqueous solutions,the mass action concentrations of components in the NaCl-H2O binary strong electrolyte aqueous solution were also computed at 298.15K. A transformation coefficient was required to compare the calculated mass action concentration and reported activity because they were obtained at different standard states and concentration units. The results show that the transformation coefficients between calculated mass action concentrations and reported activities of the same components change in a very narrow range. The calculated mass action concentrations of components in the NaCl-H2O and NaCl-KCl-H2O systems are in good agreement with the reported activities. This indicates that the developed thermodynamic model can reflect the structural characteristics of solutions,and the mass action concentration also strictly follows the mass action law.

Possible observation of shape-coexisting configurations in even–even midshell isotones with N=104:a systematic total Routhian surface calculation

Systematic total Routhian surface calculations for even–even N = 104 midshell isotones with 66≤Z≤82 have been carried out based on a more realistic diffuse-surface deformed Woods–Saxon nuclear potential in (β_2, γ, β_4) deformation space, focusing on the rotation-induced shapecoexisting phenomena. As an example and basic test, the oblate property at the ground state in ^(184)Hg is well reproduced and the microscopic origin is analyzed from the single-particle structure. The present calculated results are compared with available experimental information, showing a good agreement. It is systematically found that in this isotonic chain several bands with different shapes(e.g., prolate, oblate and superdeformed prolate bands, seven non-collective band) may show a strong competition and coexisting phenomenon at a certain domain of the rotational frequency.

Coexistence Studies on the Interference Performance Between Mobile Satellite System and LTE Network

The interference coexistence performance between the systems of a Long Term Evolution(LTE) network and Mobile Satellite Service(MSS) system,both of which work around the frequency of approximately 2 GHz according to the bandwidth allocation in China,is proposed in this article.The related background of an MSS system and the common terminologies are introduced.Further,the coexistence scenarios of different coverage situations shared by the two systems are discussed.The interference impact of an MSS transmission on an LTE system is evaluated using a specific Monte Carlo method.Finally,simulation results show that although no crucial issues for the coexistence of an LTE downlink and the MSS are observed,the LTE uplink suffers a considerable amount of interference from the MSS transmission.Given the insufficient isolation between LTE and MSS existing networks,and the rapid advance in the field of LTE,problems may emerge in the near future.Further,this article can be of significance in providing reference for frequency spectrum planning in the existing LTE networks.

The integer order memristive time delay chaotic system has attracted much attention and has been well discussed.However,the fractional order system is closer to the real system.In this paper,a nonlinear time delay chaotic circuit based on fractional order memristive system was proposed.Some dynamical properties,including equilibrium points,stability,bifurcation,and Lyapunov exponent of the oscillator,were investigated in detail by theoretical analyses and simulations.Moreover,the nonlinear phenomena of coexisting bifurcation and attractor was found.The phenomenon shows that the state of this oscilator was highly sensitive to its initial value,which is called coexistent oscillation in this paper.Finally,the results of the system circuit simulation accomplished by Multisim were perfectly consistent with theoretical analyses and numerical simulation.

Improving SINR via Joint Beam and Power Management for GEO and LEO Spectrum-Sharing Satellite Communication Systems

In this paper,we investigate a geosynchronous earth orbit(GEO)and low earth orbit(LEO)coexisting satellite communication system.To decrease the interference imposed on the GEO user caused by LEO satellites,we propose a joint beammanagement and power-allocation(JBMPA)scheme to maximize signal-to-interference plus noise ratio(SINR)at the GEO user,whilst maintaining the ongoing wireless links spanning from LEO satellites to their corresponding users.Specifically,we first analyze the overlapping coverage among GEO and LEO satellites,to obtain the LEO-satellite set in which their beams impose interference on the GEO user.Then,considering the traffic of LEO satellites in the obtained set,we design a beam-management method to turn off and switch interference beams of LEO satellites.Finally,we further propose a deep Q-network(DQN)aided power allocation algorithm to allocate the transmit power for the ongoing LEO satellites in the obtained set,whose beams are unable to be managed.Numerical results show that comparing with the traditional fixed beam with power allocation(FBPA)scheme,the proposed JBMPA can achieve a higher SINR and a lower outage probability,whilst guaranteeing the ongoing wireless transmissions of LEO satellites.

Spatial organization of multiple plant species in arid ecosystems:linking patterns and processes

Spatial organization of multiple plant species that appears as a non-random distribution of vegetative patches is one of the mostly observed spatial patterns in arid ecosystems. Yet understanding of ecological processes allowing this spatial pattern to emerge through interspecific interactions is still lacking. With a proposed conceptual model involving interspecific trade-offs between species competitive ability and colonization ability, we have argued that within patch abundance dynamics regulated by the mechanisms of competition are strongly influenced by the between patches colonization dynamics that are maintained via this trade-offs and it holds a positive, intraspecific occupancy-abundance relationship, in which increased patch occupancy increases species density within inhabiting patches. In a constant environment, while local abundance dynamics approach toward a stable equilibrium point, a fixed spatial arrangement of species can be retained through this coupled dynamics. However, in fluctuating environments where existence of such stable equilibriums is highly uncertain, it may involve continuous transitions from one community state to another as species re-organized themselves over space through the rapid changes in local species abundances. While some of the inhabiting patches are destroyed exogenously or endogenously, or species responses to increasing environmental fluctuations vary increasingly with time, discontinuous transitions into an abrupt, irreversible state of the community dynamics may occur, as with this effect the inherent positive relationship between occupancy and abundance of species is no longer maintained.

Calculating models of mass action concentrations for structural units or ion couples in RbCl-H_2O binary system and RbCl-RbNO_3-H_2O ternary system

Thermodynamic models of calculating mass action concentrations for structural units or ion couples in RbCl-H2O binary and RbCl-RbNO3-H2O ternary strong electrolyte aqueous solutions were developed based on the ion and molecule coexistence theory at 298.15 K.A transformation coefficient is needed to compare the calculated mass action concentration and the reported activity because they are obtained at different standard states and concentration units.The results show that the transformation coefficients between the calculated mass action concentrations and the reported activities of the same structural units or ion couples in RbCl-H2O binary and RbCl-RbNO3-H2O ternary strong electrolyte aqueous solutions change in a very narrow range.The transformed mass action concentrations of structural units or ion couples in RbCl-H2O binary system are in good agreement with the reported activities. The transformed mass action concentrations of RbCl and RbNO3 in RbCl-RbNO3-H2O ternary solution are also in good agreement with the reported activities,aRbCl and 3RbNOa,with different total ionic strengths as 0.01,0.05,0.1,0.5,1.0,1.5,2.0,3.0 and 3.5 mol/kg,respectively.All those results mean the developed thermodynamic model of strong electrolyte aqueous solutions can reflect structural characteristics of RbCl-H2O binary and RbCl-RbNO3-H2O ternary strong electrolyte aqueous solutions and the mass action concentration also strictly follows the mass action law.

Synchronization transition of a coupled system composed of neurons with coexisting behaviors near a Hopf bifurcation

The coexistence of a resting condition and period-1 firing near a subcritical Hopf bifurcation point, lying between the monostable resting condition and period-1 firing, is often observed in neurons of the central nervous systems. Near such a bifurcation point in the Morris-Lecar （ML） model, the attraction domain of the resting condition decreases while that of the coexisting period-1 firing increases as the bifurcation parameter value increases. With the increase of the coupling strength, and parameter and initial value dependent synchronization transition processes from non-synchronization to compete synchronization are simulated in two coupled ML neurons with coexisting behaviors： one neuron chosen as the resting condition and the other the coexisting period-1 firing. The complete synchronization is either a resting condition or period-1 firing dependent on the initial values of period-1 firing when the bifurcation parameter value is small or middle and is period- 1 firing when the parameter value is large. As the bifurcation parameter value increases, the probability of the initial values of a period- 1 firing neuron that lead to complete synchronization of period- 1 firing increases, while that leading to complete synchronization of the resting condition decreases. It shows that the attraction domain of a coexisting behavior is larger, the probability of initial values leading to complete synchronization of this behavior is higher. The bifurcations of the coupled system are investigated and discussed. The results reveal the complex dynamics of synchronization behaviors of the coupled system composed of neurons with the coexisting resting condition and period-1 firing, and are helpful to further identify the dynamics of the spatiotemporal behaviors of the central nervous system.

We discuss nontrivial steady-state solutions of a competitive-diffusive systems with small diffusion in which two interacting species u and v inhibit the same bounded region. By using methods of bifurcation theory and indefinite weight function, we prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions which are positive in both u and v and asymptotically stable corresponding to the case where the populations can co-exist.

Bipolar-growth multi-wing attractors and diverse coexisting attractors in a new memristive chaotic system

This article proposes a non-ideal flux-controlled memristor with a bisymmetric sawtooth piecewise function, and a new multi-wing memristive chaotic system(MMCS) based on the memristor is generated. Compared with other existing MMCSs, the most eye-catching point of the proposed MMCS is that the amplitude of the wing will enlarge towards the poles as the number of wings increases. Diverse coexisting attractors are numerically found in the MMCS, including chaos,quasi-period, and stable point. The circuits of the proposed memristor and MMCS are designed and the obtained results demonstrate their validity and reliability.
