Secure Transmission in Cognitive Radio Networks Using Full-Duplex Technique with Outdated CSI

This paper investigates the effects of the outdated channel state information(CSI)on the secrecy performance of an underlay spectrum sharing cognitive radio networks(CRNs),where the secondary user(SU)source node(Alice)aims to transmit the trusted messages to the full-duplex(FD)aided SU receiver(Bob)with the assistance of cooperative relay(Relay).Considering the impact of feedback delay,outdated CSI will aggravate the system performance.To tackle such challenge,the collaborative zero-forcing beamforming(ZFB)scheme of FD technique is further introduced to implement jamming so as to confuse the eavesdropping and improve the security performance of the system.Under such setup,the exact and asymptotic expressions of the secrecy outage probability(SOP)under the outdated CSI case are derived,respectively.The results reveal that i)the outdated CSI of the SU transmission channel will decrease the diversity gain from min(NANR,NRNB)to NRwith NA,NRand NBbeing the number of antennas of Alice,Relay and Bob,respectively,ii)the introduction of FD technique can improve coding gain and enhance system performance.

Relay selection based on MAP estimation for cooperative communication with outdated channel state information

In this paper, we consider an amplify-and-forward （AF） cooperative communication system when the channel state information （CSI） used in relay selection differs from that during data transmission, i.e., the CSI used in relay selection is outdated. The selected relay may not be actually the best for data transmission and the outage performance of the cooperative system will deteriorate. To improve its performance, we propose a relay selection strategy based on maximum a posteriori （MAP） estimation, where relay is selected based on predicted signal-to-noise ratio （SNR）. To reduce the computation complexity, we approximate the a posteriori probability density of SNR and obtain a closed-form predicted SNR, and a relay selection strategy based on the approximate MAP estimation （RS-AMAP） is proposed. The simulation results show that this approximation leads to trivial performance loss from the perspective of outage probability. Compared with relay selection strategies given in the literature, the outage probability is reduced largely through RS-AMAP for medium-to-large transmitting powers and medium-to-high channel correlation coefficients.

Cross-layer resource allocation in wireless multi-hop networks with outdated channel state information

The cross-layer resource allocation problem in wireless multi-hop networks(WMHNs)has been extensively studied in the past few years.Most of these studies assume that every node has the perfect channel state information(CSI)of other nodes.In practical settings,however,the networks are generally dynamic and CSI usually becomes outdated when it is used,due to the time-variant channel and feedback delay.To deal with this issue,we study the cross-layer resource allocation problem in dynamic WMHNs with outdated CSI under channel conditions where there is correlation between the outdated CSI and current CSI.Two major contributions are made in this work:(1)a closed-form expression of conditional average capacity is derived under the signal-to-interferenceplus-noise ratio(SINR)model;(2)a joint optimization problem of congestion control,power control,and channel allocation in the context of outdated CSI is formulated and solved in both centralized and distributed manners.Simulation results show that the network utility can be improved significantly using our proposed algorithm.

Corporate social responsibility and its sustainable development based on elimination of outdated industrial capacity——A case study of Hebei Town,Beijing

Corporate social responsibility includes economic responsibility,environmental responsibility and comprehensive responsibility.Economic responsibility is the foundation and premise of the other two.Environmental responsibility and comprehensive responsibility are built on economic responsibility.At the same time,these three responsibilities are inherently related because a business or enterprise should perform them simultaneously.This principle also applies to the elimination of outdated industrial capacity.Through investigation and research of the present situation,as well as the process and result of the elimination of outdated industrial capacity in Hebei Town,Fangshan District,Beijing,this paper analyzes the existing problem,determining thereby that the local government puts more emphasis on environmental responsibility than economic responsibility and private enterprises take more environmental responsibility than state-owned enterprises.Consequently,this paper proposes that the government and enterprises should abide by the rule of enterprises’social responsibility in the elimination of outdated industrial capacity,so as to achieve sustainable development in society.

Only this

Multi-Sinusoidal Waveform Shaping for Integrated Data and Energy Transfer in Aging Channels

Integrated data and energy transfer(IDET)is capable of simultaneously delivering on-demand data and energy to low-power Internet of Everything(Io E)devices.We propose a multi-carrier IDET transceiver relying on superposition waveforms consisting of multi-sinusoidal signals for wireless energy transfer(WET)and orthogonal-frequency-divisionmultiplexing(OFDM)signals for wireless data transfer(WDT).The outdated channel state information(CSI)in aging channels is employed by the transmitter to shape IDET waveforms.With the constraints of transmission power and WDT requirement,the amplitudes and phases of the IDET waveform at the transmitter and the power splitter at the receiver are jointly optimised for maximising the average directcurrent(DC)among a limited number of transmission frames with the existence of carrier-frequencyoffset(CFO).For the amplitude optimisation,the original non-convex problem can be transformed into a reversed geometric programming problem,then it can be effectively solved with existing tools.As for the phase optimisation,the artificial bee colony(ABC)algorithm is invoked in order to deal with the nonconvexity.Iteration between the amplitude optimisation and phase optimisation yields our joint design.Numerical results demonstrate the advantage of our joint design for the IDET waveform shaping with the existence of the CFO and the outdated CSI.

Device-to-Device Based Cooperative Relaying for 5G Network:A Comparative Review

Due to the proliferation of mobile internet access, the cellu-lar traffic is envisaged to experience a 1000-fold growth inthe second decade of the 21 st century. To meet such a hugetraffic demand, the Fifth Generation(5G) network have toadopt new techniques to substantially increase spectral effi-ciency and reliability. At the base station side, available re-sources(power supply, equipment size, processing capability,etc.) are far more sufficient than that of the terminal side,which imposes a high challenge on the uplink transmission.The concept of cooperative communications opens a possibili-ty of using multiple terminals to cooperatively achieve spa-tial diversity that is typically obtained by means of multipleantennas in the base station. The application of Device-to-Device(D2D) communications in the 3GPP LTE system fur-ther pushes the collaboration of terminals from the theory tothe practice. The utilization of D2D-based cooperative relay-ing is promising in the era of 5G. In this paper, we compara-tively study several cooperative multi-relay schemes, includ-ing the proposed opportunistic space-time coding, in thepresence of imperfect channel state information. The numeri-cal results reveal that the proposed scheme is the best coop-erative solution until now from the perspective of multiplex-ing-diversity tradeoff.

An overview of the development history and technical progress of China's coal-fired power industry

As the main power source of China, coalfired power industry has achieved a great progress in installed capacity, manufacturing technologies, thermal efficiency, as well as pollutant control during the past century. With the fast development of renewable energies, coal-fired power industry is experiencing a strategic transformation. To specify the development of coal-fired power industry, its development history is reviewed and the technical progresses on aspects of thermal efficiency, pollutants control and peaking shaving capacity are discussed. It is concluded that the role of China's coal-fired power source would be transformed from the dominant position to a base position in power source structure. Considering the sustainable development of coal-fired power industry in energy conservation, emission control, and utilization of renewable energies, it is suggested that the national average thermal efficiency should be improved by continual up-gradation of units by using advanced technologies and eliminating outdated capacity. Moreover, the emission standard of air pollutants should not be stricter any more in coal-fired power industry. Furthermore, the huge amount of combined heat and power (CHP) coal-fired units should be operated in a decoupled way, so as to release more than 350 GW regulation capacity for the grid to accept more renewable energy power.

Multiuser MIMO Downlink Transmission Schemes over Time-Varying Channels

The performance of multiuser multiple-input-multiple-output （MIMO） downlink systems with block diagonalization （BD） depends on the accuracy of the channel state information （CSI） available at the trans- mitter and the receiver. In time-varying channels, the CSI available at the transmitter （CSIT） is always out-dated due to an inherent time delay between the uplink channel estimation and the downlink data transmission in time division duplexing （TDD） systems. This leads to a drastic degradation of system capacity. This paper first analyzes the effect of the outdated CSIT on multiuser MIMO downlink systems using the BD method and then proposes two linear processing methods, BD precoding with user selection and scheduling at the transmitter and total minimum mean squared error （MMSE） decoding at the receiver （TBDUSS-RTMMSE） and BD preceding at the transmitter with partial MMSE decoding at the receiver （TBD-RPMMSE）, to mitigate the interference among data streams and users. Analysis and simulation results show that these methods can effectively reduce the impairment of the outdated CSIT to increase the system sum capacity in a suitable time delay region of the CSIT.
