This brief examines current research on cooperative device-to-device (D2D) communication as an enhanced offloading technology to improve the performance of cognitive radio cellular networks. By providing an extensive review of recent advances in D2D communication, the authors demonstrate that the quality of D2D links significantly affects offloading performance in cellular networks, which motivates the design of cooperative D2D communication. After presenting the architecture of cooperative D2D communication, the challenges of capacity maximization and energy efficiency are addressed by optimizing relay assignment, power control and resource allocation. Furthermore, cooperative D2D communication is enhanced by network coding technology, and then is extended for broadcast sessions. Along with detailed problem formulation and hardness analysis, fast algorithms are developed by exploiting problem-specific characteristics such that they can be applied in practice.

Based on the design theory and development experience of Beidou navigation satellite system (BDS), this book highlights the space segment and the related satellite technologies as well as satellite-ground integration design from the perspective of engineering. The satellite navigation technology in this book is divided into uplink and reception technology, broadcasting link technology, inter-satellite link technology, time-frequency system technology, navigation signal generation and assessment technology, navigation information management technology, autonomous operation technology of navigation satellite. In closing, the book introduces readers to the technological development status and trend of BDS and other GNSS, and propose the technologies of future development.Unlike most current books on this topic, which largely concentrate on principles, receiver design or applications, the book also features substantial information on the role of satellite system in the GNSS and the process of signal information flow, and each chapter not only studies on the theoretical function and main technologies, but also focuses on engineering development. Accordingly, readers will gain not only a better understanding of navigation satellite systems as a whole, but also of their main components and key technologies.

This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the multi-temporal and spatial evolution characteristics, as well as the driving mechanisms, of runoff and sediment discharge in the Yellow River Basin. It also provides multi-model predictions and ensemble evaluations of long-term runoff and sediment trends, alongside forward-looking strategies for managing the Loess Plateau and regulating the Yellow River. The work systematically evaluates the effectiveness of soil and water conservation measures in modulating water and sediment dynamics and their coupled interactions. It further confirms the transformation of runoff generation mechanisms and sediment production-transport patterns in response to changes in the underlying surface, demonstrating that water and sediment regimes in the Yellow River are transitioning toward a new steady state. Notably, this book proposes, for the first time from a basin-wide perspective, a threshold system for maintaining water-sediment balance in the Yellow River Basin. This book serves as a valuable reference for researchers, planners, designers, and managers working in related fields, as well as for university faculty and students.The English translation of this book, originally written in Chinese, was produced with the assistance of artificial intelligence and has subsequently been reviewed and refined by the author to ensure accuracy.
