However, considering the uneven and dynamic traffic demand of every cell, it is difficult to design a dynamic beam hopping scheduling (BHS) algorithm that can provide high resource utilisation and good Quality of Experience (QoE). We propose a deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based downlink BHS algorithm, which leverages DRL to make dynamic decisions according to varying states.

In this paper, the dual-path dilated convolution attention is proposed. This method is proposed as a lightweight improvement technique to increase the model performance and a lightweight recognition method by combining denoising convolutional neural networks and improved MobileViT. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method effectively reduces the parameter size of the network. Meanwhile, a sustainable high recognition accuracy is obtained, the network inference speed is accelerated, and the hardware requirements are alleviated.

The proposed RO-BEV includes two major components: the novel adaptive linearly increasing dividing (ALID) strategy and the hierarchical cross-scale fusion (HCSF) module. Specifically, the ALID strategy can mitigate instance loss caused by insufficient features by providing a linearly increasing 3D representation to build a robust BEV feature. Then, the proposed HCSF module enhances spatial-temporal BEV features in the latent space to predict vehicle instances by sampling from feature distributions at different scales and timestamps.

To address this problem, this paper proposes an adaptive control method combining feedforward and feedback control. Hammerstein structure is applied to characterize a piezoelectric actuator, which consists of a Prandtl-Ishlinskii model and a second-order linear model. The pseudo-inverse of the Prandtl-Ishlinskii model is applied as a feedforward controller to compensate for the hysteresis characteristics. As to the feedback control, a recursive least square with adaptive forgetting factor is proposed to estimate system parameters. Based on the estimated parameters, an adaptive self-tuning controller is designed to track the dynamic characteristics and reduce the feedforward compensation error. Finally, the proposed method is validated on a piezoelectric positioning platform. The results show that the feedforward pseudoinverse can compensate the hysteresis nonlinearity and the compensation error is close to 0. Compared to the PID composite control, the mean absolute error and the root mean square error are reduced by more than 12% and 13%, respectively.</p>","PeriodicalId":11556,"journal":{"name":"Electronics Letters","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/ell2.70247","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143809592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
