Operators strive to develop the data service oriented LTE(long term evolution)technology, especially TD-LTE (time division-LTE) technology adopting the spectral asymmetric. This paper analyzed details of TD-LTE system networking, and studied the feasibility of TD-LTE and TD-SCDMA(TD-synchronous code division multiple access) system with the same spectrum. At last, the paper provided suggestions on networking of TD-LTE system.展开更多

First, a genetic algorithm-based neural network (GANN) is designed to perform spectrum prediction in consideration of both the characteristics of the primary users (PU) and the effect of fading. Then, a fusion selection method based on the iterative self-organizing data analysis (ISODATA) algorithm is designed to select the best local predictors for combination. Additionally, a reliability-based weighted combination rule is proposed to make an accurate decision based on local prediction results considering the diversity of the predictors. Finally, a Gaussian approximation approach is employed to study the performance of the proposed WSC scheme, and the expressions of the global prediction precision and throughput enhancement are derived. Simulation results reveal that the proposed WSC scheme outperforms the other cooperative spectrum prediction schemes in terms of prediction accuracy, and can achieve significant throughput gain for cognitive radio networks.展开更多

Notwithstanding widespread neglect of its European dimension, this Energiewende will further exacerbate current network fluctuations due to the significant increase in wind and solar power. Key data from Denmark show that this transition will soon bring the German national power system to its limits for absorbing the resulting intermittency, and increase the need for more cross-border power transfers. Yet network analysis of import/export data shows that Germany's position in the European power system is contrary to the Danish case. The need for a European solution for Germany's energy transition will therefore soon become evident. In order to establish the necessary infrastructure, the Energiewende needs hence to be guided by an economic approach designed to prevent further fractures in the Internal Electricity Market. Constructive negotiations with neighbouring countries on market designs and price signals will be important preconditions. The article emphasizes the still neglected European paradox of Germany's energy transition and presents working examples and possible solutions to uphold electricity supply in Europe's power house.展开更多
