Therefore, this paper proposes a Q-learning-based visual information assisted routing (QVIR) algorithm for FANETs in low altitude complex environments, which could make use of the imaged data collected by the onboard camera to reduce the influence of flight environment on the network. Simulation results show that compared with the classical FANETs routing algorithm, the QVIR algorithm has better performance in terms of lower delay, packet delivery ratio, and energy efficiency.","PeriodicalId":100766,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Communications and Information Networks","volume":"10 2","pages":"174-182"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144646593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

TSMA is an emerging scheme to achieve massive connections in massive machine-type communications (mMTC). Reactive jamming, a cost-effective and easily deployable technique, poses a significant threat to communication signals by only activating when communication activity is detected. Its stealthy nature makes it difficult to identify using traditional methods. To address the performance degradation caused by reactive jamming in TSMA systems, this paper proposes a novel adaptation scheme, incorporated with the characteristic of TSMA. Simulation results demonstrate that reactive jamming significantly reduces system performance. Also, the proposed adaptation technique greatly enhances communication reliability by recovering information and mitigating the effects of interference.","PeriodicalId":100766,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Communications and Information Networks","volume":"10 2","pages":"143-151"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144646634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A signal direction of arrival (DOA) localization method based on convolutional neural networks is proposed to achieve high resolution localization of single or multiple radio frequency (RF) radiation sources in scenarios with low SNR and adjacent sources.

To address these challenges, we propose an efficient transmission scheme specifically designed for MIMO ad hoc networks, in which the channel estimation and feedback are considered jointly.

This paper presents a robust and scalable adaptive power control framework that dynamically adjusts transmit power levels to optimize energy efficiency, minimize interference, and enhance system throughput. The proposed framework leverages an optimization-driven approach based on real-time environmental feedback, ensuring compliance with regulatory constraints while maintaining optimal performance. A multi-objective optimization strategy is employed to balance several key metrics, including throughput, energy consumption, and fairness, with a Pareto front analysis demonstrating superior trade-offs compared to fixed power strategies. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated through extensive simulations and real-world experiments using universal software radio peripheral (USRP) devices in dense RFID deployments. The results show that our framework achieves a 34% reduction in cumulative interference, a 15% improvement in energy efficiency, and a 20% increase in throughput compared to baseline fixed power methods.

The DDRA formulates the allocation problem as a Markov decision process and employs deep Q-network (DQN) to learn an optimal policy for assigning channel, power, and traffic resources. We developed a simulation environment in ns-3 to evaluate the DDRA algorithm against traditional fixed and greedy random allocation methods.

Although, the minimum mean square error (MMSE) method is a popular signal detection, however it involves matrix inversion with complexity of cubic order. Therefore, several linear signal detection methods were developed such as Gauss-Seidel, successive over relaxation, Jacobi method, and Richardson methods to provide a trade-off between performance and complexity. These methods are developed for flat fading scenario, however in practice, the channel is frequency selective rather flat fading. In this paper, we have proposed an efficient signal detection technique based on iterative parallel multistage detection with decision statistics combiner (IPMD-DSC) for uplink m-MIMO-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (m-MIMO-OFDM) system over frequency selective channel. Finally, the proposed method is compared with several convention methods with respect to bit error rate (BER) and complexity.
