The optimal solution of this combinable allocation shows high computational complexity, so we allocate subcarriers and power separately. At firstly, we distribute subcarriers to relays and users under the assumption of equal power distribution. Here, we propose an equal capacity increment （ECI） allocation strategy to achieve tradeoff between total throughput and fairness. To further improve the system performance, we introduce threshold into ECI strategy, named ECI strategy with threshold （ECI-T）, where subcarriers with bad performance are prevented from transmitting. Subsequently, a water-filling method is adopted to distribute the power to cooperative links in order to fully utilize the limited power. Simulation results show that system performance of the proposed schemes is significantly enhanced compared with an existing resource allocation scheme. Besides, the resource allocation schemes with the water- filling method notably outperform schemes with equal power allocation.展开更多

According to the network characteristics and actual state of the water supply system in China, the implicit model, which may be solved by utilizing the hierarchical optimization method, is established. In special, based on the analyses of the water supply system containing variable-speed pumps, a software tool has been developed successfully. The application of this model to the city of Shenyang (China) is compared to experiential strategy. The results of this study show that the developed model is a very promising optimization method to control the large-scale water supply systems.展开更多
