Hybrid genetic algorithm based optimization of pilotpattern by Hanbing ZHENG, Xiang YU, Weiwei WANG

“…In OFDM system,sparse channel estimation based on compressed sensing(CS)can make full use of the inherent sparse degree of the wireless channel,which can reduce the pilot overhead and improve the spectrum efficiency.Therefore,a new method based on hybrid genetic algorithm was investigated for the pilot design of CS channel estimation,which was based on the minimization of the matrix cross correlation in the CS theory.In this method,genetic algorithm was used to obtain the initial sub-optimal pilot sequence,and then combined with the pilot position and pilot power,each entry of pilot pattern could be sequentially updated and optimized to make the minimum correlation of measurement matrix.Simulation results show that the proposed method can ensure a better mean square error and bit error rate compared to the pseudo-random pilot design and the equal distance pilot design.…”

Spatial-temporal evolution characteristics and driving factors of carbon emission prediction in China-research on ARIMA-BP neural network algorithm by Sanglin Zhao, Zhetong Li, Hao Deng, Xing You, Jiaang Tong, Bingkun Yuan, Zihao Zeng

“…The results show that: (1) From 2000 to 2035, China’s total carbon emissions increased year by year, but the growth rate of carbon emissions gradually decreased; The carbon emission structure is “secondary industry &gt; residents’ life &gt; tertiary industry &gt; primary industry”, and the growth rate of carbon in secondary industry and residents’ life is faster, while the change trend of primary industry and tertiary industry is smaller; (2) The spatial distribution of carbon emissions in China’s provinces presents a typical pattern of “eastern &gt; central &gt; western” and “northern &gt; southern”, and the carbon emission centers tend to move to the northwest; (3) The regions with high level of digital economy, advanced industrial structure and new quality productivity have relatively less carbon emissions, which has significant group difference effect; (4) The intensity effect of energy consumption is the main factor driving the continuous growth of carbon emissions, while the per capita GDP and the structure effect of energy consumption are the main factors restraining carbon emissions, while the effects of industrial structure and population size are relatively small. …”
