The Analysis of Opinion Evolution and Control Based on the Prisoner’s Dilemma Game in Social Networks by Xianyong Li, Jian Zhu, Yajun Du, Qian Zhang

“…In view of such considerations, this paper proposes an opinion evolution and control model based on the prisoner’s dilemma game and gives the corresponding opinion evolution and control algorithm. Under different initial positive opinion proportions, different opinion control levels, and the same control threshold value and under different initial positive opinion proportions, different opinion control levels, and different opinion control threshold values in a scale-free network, the experiments illustrate the opinion evolution trends and control strategies according to the measures of changing the opinion control levels and opinion control threshold values for network regulators. …”

Design of OFDM-IM system based on IRS-assisted by Mengmeng ZHAO, Liming HE, Fangfang LIU

“…Index modulation (IM) and intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) are emerging mobile communication technologies.In order to improve the reliability of traditional orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system, an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with index modulation (OFDM-IM) system based on IRS-assisted was designed.Firstly, the OFDM-IM system was designed by using spatial modulation and frequency domain modulation to increase the Euclidean distance between subcarriers.Then, by establishing an equivalent circuit model, a practical IRS model was obtained.Finally, an alternating optimization algorithm was used to optimize the active transmission power of the access point (AP) and passive beamforming of the IRS jointly.The simulation results show that compared to the benchmark scheme, the symbol error rate (SER) or bit error rate (BER) of the OFDM-IM system based on IRS-assisted can be reduced by 60%～90%.Especially in the case of high signal-to-noise ratio, the SER or BER of the system can reach 1.0×10^-6, which indicates that the introduction of IM and IRS technologies has optimized the link transmission quality of end-to-end communication system.In addition, based on the IRS-assisted OFDM-IM system as the standard, simulations are conducted to demonstrate the impact of various parameters from the IRS model and IM.It concludes that the parameters in the system should be selected reasonably according to channel state information (CSI).…”
