Despite achieving promising progress, existing models tend to lose recognition capability in low-quality communication environments due to the neglect of latent distributions within the data, i.e., classifying samples in a single feature space, resulting in unsatisfactory performance. Motivated by this observation, this paper aims to rethink the modulation signals classification from a new perspective on the latent data distribution. To address this, we propose a novel efficient divide-and-conquer domain adapter (EDDA) for AMR tasks, significantly enhancing the existing model's performance in challenging scenarios, irrespective of its architecture. Specifically, we first follow a divide-and-conquer approach to divide the raw data into multiple sub-domain spaces by signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and then encourage the domain adapter to estimate the latent distributions and learn domain internally-invariant feature projections. Subsequently, we introduce a dynamic strategy for updating domain labels to overcome the limitations of the initial domain label partition by SNR. Finally, we provide theoretical support for EDDA and validate its effectiveness on two widely used benchmark datasets, RadioML2016.10a and RadioML2016.10b. Experimental results show that EDDA achieves average accuracy improvements of 11.63% and 2.32% on the respective datasets. Theoretical and experimental results demonstrate the superiority and versatility of EDDA.","PeriodicalId":13038,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing","volume":"19 1","pages":"140-153"},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143512842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this research, we consider the scenario where different domain shifts occur among conditional distributions of different classes across domains. When labeled samples in the source domains are limited, existing approaches are not sufficiently robust. To address this problem, we propose a novel domain generalization framework called Wasserstein Distributionally Robust Domain Generalization (WDRDG), inspired by the concept of distributionally robust optimization. We encourage robustness over conditional distributions within class-specific Wasserstein uncertainty sets and optimize the worst-case performance of a classifier over these uncertainty sets. We further develop a test-time adaptation module, leveraging optimal transport to quantify the relationship between the unseen target domain and source domains to make adaptive inferences for target data. Experiments on the Rotated MNIST, PACS, and VLCS datasets demonstrate that our method could effectively balance the robustness and discriminability in challenging generalization scenarios.","PeriodicalId":13038,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing","volume":"19 1","pages":"103-114"},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143512886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among them, due to the ability to optimize wireless channels and improve data and energy transmission efficiency, IRS has been applied to Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-assisted wireless powered edge networks. However, scheduling multi-dimensional resources in multi-UAVs, multi-IRSs and multi-devices coexistence scenarios always leads to a large number of highly coupled variables and complicated optimization problems. To address the above challenges, we propose a multi-agent Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL)-based distributed scheduling algorithm for IRS and UAV-assisted wireless powered edge networks to jointly optimize charging time, phase shift matrices of IRSs, association scheduling of UAVs and UAV trajectories. First, to satisfy UAV time constraints and device energy consumption constraints, we formulate an energy efficiency maximization problem and represent it as a corresponding Markov Decision Process (MDP). Then, we propose a lightweight scheduling algorithm based on multi-agent DRL with value function decomposition. Finally, experiments show that the proposed algorithm has significant advantages in terms of algorithm convergence and system energy efficiency.","PeriodicalId":13038,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing","volume":"18 7","pages":"1297-1310"},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142993243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to its high robustness against large time delays and Doppler shifts, chirp spread spectrum (CSS) modulation, i.e., the key technology of the Long-Range (LoRa), is expected to empower the satellite link. However, the ALOHA protocol employed by LoRa will inevitably lead to collisions over the satellite channels. In this paper, we focus on the concurrent uplink transmission over the LEO satellite IoT, which is based on CSS. We carefully analyze the relationship between the chirp rate and its spreading factor (SF). Then, we propose the fractional chirp rate based CSS modulation, and support terrestrial users to achieve the non-orthogonal multiple access with the same SF, which ensures that the users possess the same noise immunity. We derive the bit error rate (BER) for both the synchronous and asynchronous scenarios. The performance of our scheme is tested by simulation. Results show that our scheme can achieve the multiple access while maintaining a satisfactory BER performance and is robust over the asynchronous scenario. Furthermore, we build a hardware system using the field-programmable gate array (FPGA) devices to validate the feasibility of this system.","PeriodicalId":13038,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing","volume":"18 7","pages":"1281-1296"},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142993244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As beam-sweeping schemes under hybrid beamforming architectures are commonly used to enhance signal power and extend coverage, this paper investigates an efficient beam-sweeping scheme for mmWave massive grant-free transmission under hybrid beamforming architectures. In this scheme, we propose a beam-sweeping design algorithm to optimize beamforming matrices, aiming to maximize spectral efficiency while ensuring quality of service (QoS) based on statistical information on uplink angles of arrival (AoAs). To address the intricate interdependence of beamforming matrices across different beam-sweeping slots, our solution begins with a two-stage genetic algorithm that pre-assigns users' access slots based on their uplink AoAs, decomposing the beamforming design problem into independent subproblems for each slot. Subsequently, a dual-layer beamforming design algorithm is proposed to solve these subproblems, optimizing beamforming matrices that enhance spectral efficiency and meet the QoS constraint. Numerous simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed beam-sweeping design algorithm in improving spectral efficiency and the capability to satisfy the required QoS.","PeriodicalId":13038,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing","volume":"18 7","pages":"1249-1264"},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142993246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Alternatively, the beamforming and phase-shift of transmitting and reflecting is decoupled and optimized by hybrid whale-bat optimization algorithm (WBOA) and coordinate descent method (CDM), which gives a solution to minimize offloading latency.

Our optimizations focus on two primary aspects: a novel loss function design and advanced entropy modeling of bottleneck latent embeddings. The loss function design incorporates parameters from a psychoacoustic model (PAM) into the frame-wise distortion measure, providing excellent perceptual quality. In addition, a multi-time scale discriminator is utilized to minimize distortions across adjacent frames, reducing artifacts at frame edges. Also, the coder is optimized considering three sophisticated entropy models within the latent domain: the Factorized Entropy Model (FEM), the Hyperprior Model (HPM), and the Joint Hierarchical Model (JHM). Notably, the JHM enhances context modeling across frames to effectively predict components influenced by long-term dependencies. To verify the optimization performance, we conducted extensive experiments using a dataset consisting of commercial movie clips and two additional public datasets. Objective metrics consistently demonstrated that our optimized loss function and latent modeling achieved superior performance across all test datasets compared to traditional codecs such as LAME-MP3 and FDK-AAC.
