In view of the growing contradiction between the intensive computation demands and the resource limitations of mobile users, mobile edge computing (MEC) and simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) have emerged as new paradigms towards 5G communication. However, coordinating the communication and computation between users and edge servers proves to be challenging for MEC. In this paper, we propose a novel multiuser full-duplex (FD) communication system that combines MEC and SWIPT technology in order to take the advantage of high-speed mobile computing and long-lasting self-sustainability. Through MEC technology, users are able to calculate local computation tasks using their batteries, and can offload partial computation tasks to the base station (BS) to reduce their energy shortage. Moreover, users can refill their batteries while receiving the computation result sent by the BS, thus benefiting from SWIPT technology. The FD mode can potentially increase the system performance by allowing the simultaneous transmitting and receiving of computation tasks. Our work aims to minimize the energy consumption of the system, while formulating resource allocation as a joint non-linear optimization problem. We decouple the original non-convex problem into two subproblems and solve them using a proposed algorithm that applies group iterative optimization. Numerical results prove that the proposed algorithm is superior to other two comparison schemes and can significantly reduce the system energy consumption and the latency.

With the increasing deployment of IoT devices and applications, a large number of devices that can sense and monitor the environment in IoT network are needed. This trend also brings great challenges, such as data explosion and energy insufficiency. This paper proposes a system that integrates mobile edge computing (MEC) technology and simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) technology to improve the service supply capability of WSN-assisted IoT applications. A novel optimization problem is formulated to minimize the total system energy consumption under the constraints of data transmission rate and transmitting power requirements by jointly considering power allocation, CPU frequency, offloading weight factor and energy harvest weight factor. Since the problem is non-convex, we propose a novel alternate group iteration optimization (AGIO) algorithm, which decomposes the original problem into three subproblems, and alternately optimizes each subproblem using the group interior point iterative algorithm. Numerical simulations validate that the energy consumption of our proposed design is much lower than the two benchmark algorithms. The relationship between system variables and energy consumption of the system is also discussed.
Abstract-Along with the expansion of international higher education in China, the English teaching for foreign students has become the important way for foreign students education. This paper introduces teaching practices of Analog Circuit with English for foreign students, and discusses the teaching methods, the teachers' team building and the evaluation of teaching.Teaching practice shows that the learning interest of students and the teaching effects are improved greatly after the teaching reform.
