While most of these works merely use the multi-hop methods instead of direct transmission without considering the co-channel inter-cell interference, signal transmission mode and the effects of the number of antennas. With the consideration of above important elements, this paper proposed an improved cellular system with multi-relay amplifies-andforward (AF) cooperative transmission scheme and the corresponding capacity expression is derived under the corresponding environment. By using the potential space diversity and selecting relays based on maximizing the capacity, the cellular system capacity can be improved effectively. The simulation results show that with the assistance of optimal selected relays, the improved cooperative cellular system capacity with multi-relay AF transmission scheme performs better than single-hop cellular system.展开更多

However, system models of aging and longevity, although urgently needed, are still lacking, largely due to the paucity of conceptual frameworks for modeling such a complex process. Results: We propose that aging can be viewed as a decline in system capacity, defined as the maximum level of output that a system produces to fulfill demands. Classical aging hallmarks and anti-aging strategies can be well-aligned to system capacity. Genetic variants responsible for lifespan variation across individuals or species can also be explained by their roles in system capacity. We further propose promising directions to develop systems approaches to modulate system capacity and thus extend both healthspan and lifespan. Conclusions: The system capacity model of aging provides an opportunity to examine aging at the systems level. This model predicts that the extent to which aging can be modulated is normally limited by the upper bound of the system capacity of a species. Within such a boundary, aging can be delayed by moderately increasing an individual's system capacity. Beyond such a boundary, increasing the upper bound is required, which is not unrealistic given the unlimited potential of regenerative medicine in the future, but it requires increasing the capacity of the whole system instead of only part of it.展开更多

Power allocation problem with Amplify-and-Forward (AF) and Selective Decode-and-Forward (SDF) strategies in multi-node scenario are formulated and solved respectively. Optimal power allocation schemes that maximize system capacity with AF strategy are presented. In addition, optimal power allocation methods that minimize asymptotic Symbol Error Rate (SER) with SDF cooperative protocol in multi-node scenario are also proposed. Furthermore, performance comparisons are provided in terms of system capacity and approximate SER. Numerical and simulation results confirm our theoretical analysis. It is revealed that, maximum system capacity could be obtained when powers are allocated optimally with AF protocol, while minimization of system's SER could also be achieved with optimum power allocation in SDF strategy. In multi-node scenario, those optimal power allocation algorithms are superior to conventional equal power allocation schemes.展开更多
