    Observations were made on crayfish burrows in five locations on the Great Ouse River. The burrow densities and the relative abundance of crayfish were observed. Also, laboratory experiments were carried out in order to study the characteristics and mechanisms of burrowing

    Secrecy Wireless Information and Power Transfer in OFDMA Systems

    In this paper, we consider simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) in orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems with the coexistence of information receivers (IRs) and energy receivers (ERs). The IRs are served with best-effort secrecy data and the ERs harvest energy with minimum required harvested power. To enhance physical-layer security and yet satisfy energy harvesting requirements, we introduce a new frequency-domain artificial noise based approach. We study the optimal resource allocation for the weighted sum secrecy rate maximization via transmit power and subcarrier allocation. The considered problem is non-convex, while we propose an efficient algorithm for solving it based on Lagrange duality method. Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm as compared against other heuristic schemes.Comment: To appear in Globecom 201
