This paper proposes a test method to prevent and circumvent the failure of the dynamic test abnormality caused by the static power test before the plant power is applied and the whole group is started. Reduce the dynamic test workload and test difficulty, to ensure that the dynamic test safety risk control and control in the state.展开更多

The multi-antenna users and the multi-antenna relay are considered in this work. Different from the existing works, the proposed algorithm is energy-efficient which is more applicable to the future green network. It considers both the sum-MSE problem and the power consumption problem for the users under the relay power constraint. Based on the optimal condition decomposition(OCD) method, the energy-efficient precoders at the users can be designed separately with limited information exchanged. The proposed relay beamforming algorithm is based on the alternative direction method of multipliers(ADMM) which has simpler iterative solution and enjoys good convergence. Simulation results demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithms in terms of power consumption and MSE performance.展开更多
