Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Recently, power allocation has attracted more and more attention in order to optimize the performance of nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems. Different from existing works, the power allocation problems are investigated for cooperative NOMA systems with dedicated amplify-and-forward half-duplex relay (NOMA-HDR) and full-duplex relay (NOMA-FDR). From the fairness standpoint, the power allocation problems are formulated to maximize the minimum achievable user rate in the considered systems. The problems for both NOMA-HDR and NOMA-FDR systems with two-user and M-user are addressed. The closed-form power allocation policy of two-user NOMA-HDR system is obtained. Also, the optimal numerical power allocation policies for two-user NOMA-FDR and M-user NOMA-HDR systems are obtained. In addition, the problem for M-user NOMA-FDR systems is solved in noise-limited environment. Simulation results show that the proposed NOMA-HDR or NOMA-FDR scheme with power adaption clearly outperforms the NOMA-HDR or NOMA-FDR scheme with fixed power allocation. Besides, when the residual self-interference channel gain is small, the performance of NOMA-FDR system is better than the NOMA-HDR system.

Sweating the assets – The role of instrumentation, control and automation in urban water systems

Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Instrumentation, control and automation (ICA) are currently applied throughout the urban water system at water treatment plants, in water distribution networks, in sewer networks, and at wastewater treatment plants. However, researchers and practitioners specialising in respective urban water sub-systems do not frequently interact, and in most cases to date the application of ICA has been achieved in silo. Here, we review start-of-the-art ICA throughout these sub-systems, and discuss the benefits achieved in terms of performance improvement, cost reduction, and more importantly, the enhanced capacity of the existing infrastructure to cope with increased service demand caused by population growth and continued urbanisation. We emphasise the importance of integrated control within each of the sub-systems, and also across the entire urban water system. System-wide ICA will have increasing importance with the growing complexity of the urban water environment in cities of the future.
