Recent research has introduced a glass-based metasurface to enhance mmWave signals in indoor settings. While a transparent reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) can focus signals in specific areas, achieving ideal coverage is hindered by constraints such as building structures. To address this limitation, we propose a novel RIS-assisted mmWave indoor enhancement scheme in which a transparent RIS is deployed on the glass, and a reflection RIS is introduced to enhance signal connectivity, ensuring mmWave coverage across indoor spaces. Three distinct assisted transmission scenarios are considered in this proposed scheme: passive RIS (PRIS), active RIS (ARIS), and hybrid RIS (HRIS). This paper aims to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the received signal for the three assisted transmission scenarios. The closed-form solution is presented in the PRIS and the ARIS-assisted transmission scenarios. In addition, the performance of the proposed scheme is analyzed under three assisted transmission scenarios. The results indicate that the ARIS-assisted transmission scenario achieves the highest data rate and energy efficiency under a smaller transmit power while demanding minimal unit cells.","PeriodicalId":13052,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Green Communications and Networking","volume":"8 4","pages":"1943-1954"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142679326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CSIRA allows the D2D users to share the cellular user’s resources without compromising the cellular user’s Quality of Service (QoS) in each cluster. Also, CSIRA ensures that public safety communication will get an edge over commercial communication during resource allocation. In order to ensure the QoS for cellular users is maintained while also enhancing the sum rate of D2D communication, the CSIRA employs the BSPCM framework. BSPCM framework utilizes a binary search algorithm to determine the optimal transmission power required for guaranteed D2D transmission within a cluster, thereby mitigating interference effects. A theoretical proof is provided to show that the suggested frameworks converge to a stable matching and end after a finite number of iterations. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed frameworks effectively prioritizes public safety over commercial applications while preserving optimal system efficiency and quality with minimal complications.","PeriodicalId":13052,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Green Communications and Networking","volume":"8 4","pages":"1479-1491"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142671999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, detecting anomalies in data transmitted via C-V2X is crucial, particularly for the driving control messages, i.e., Basic Safety Messages (BSM). However, anomaly detection in BSM data faces multiple challenges. First, BSM data contains rich driving details, necessitating modeling its high variability to better learn complex and nonlinear spatio-temporal relationships. Second, the rarity of anomalous events and the potential diversity of normal behaviors make defining anomalies more complex, increasing the difficulty of anomaly detection. Third, extracting meaningful information from a large amount of data and understanding the abstract patterns or regularities within it can also be challenging for effective reasoning at the data level. To address these challenges, we propose a hybrid generative model named CoGAN, which combines Variational Autoencoder (VAE) and Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) to implicitly learn the feature representation of normal data in an unsupervised manner. Specifically, the VAE is responsible for learning the distribution of normal data, and capturing the fundamental patterns and structures of the data; meanwhile, the discriminator is dedicated to enhancing the model’s ability to learn the distribution of normal data, refining the model’s understanding of data through the introduction of an adversarial process. CoGAN explores the distribution characteristics of normal vehicle behavior data by jointly learning the generation process and variational inference of BSM data, thereby achieving the purpose of anomaly detection.","PeriodicalId":13052,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Green Communications and Networking","volume":"8 4","pages":"1466-1478"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142672199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a novel energy-efficient clustering protocol (EECP) for the UWSN. The proposed protocol segregates the network based on horizontal clustering. In every iteration, the cluster heads are selected based on the energy level of the nodes. The performance of the proposed protocol is measured in terms of energy efficiency and network lifetime. Moreover, the performance of the EECP is further improved by adding nearest neighbor criteria for selecting the cluster head.

We propose a distributed deep joint source-channel coding scheme with auxiliary information feedback to implement this system, aiming to enhance parsing performance and reduce bandwidth consumption during communication. Specifically, the server initially receives the audio feature from the audio terminal and then sends the semantic information extracted from the audio feature back to the visual terminal. The received semantic and visual information are interactively processed by the visual terminal before being encoded and transmitted. The audio and visual semantic information received is processed and parsed on the far-end server. The experimental results demonstrate a significant reduction in transmission bandwidth consumption and notable performance improvements across various evaluation metrics for distributed AVP task compared to current state-of-the-art methods.","PeriodicalId":13052,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Green Communications and Networking","volume":"8 4","pages":"1707-1716"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142713826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Finite blocklength coding has emerged as a promising technique to address latency concerns.

To tackle this issue, we focus on short-packet transmission systems and introduce a Lyapunov drift-based scheduling scheme. This scheme is designed to optimize the transmission rate for maximizing the system throughput to achieve the energy efficiency. We constrain the average power using the virtual power queue method. With the Lyapunov theory, the scheduling problem of the URLLC system is then formulated as a non-convex problem, which we tackle by decoupling the problem into multiple sub-problems and approximating higher-order terms using Taylor series expansion. Through simulations, we demonstrate that the performance of our proposed algorithm closely aligns with that of an optimal policy derived from the exhaustive search method.","PeriodicalId":13052,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Green Communications and Networking","volume":"8 4","pages":"1645-1660"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142713811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In such systems, the standard RPL routing protocol cannot select long-lasting communication links due to not employing mobility-aware metrics, e.g., direction and speed of movements. While several classical heuristic approaches exist to improve PDR in RPL-based mobile networks, their solutions cannot adapt to alterations of the mobile topology. Hence, in this paper, by mapping the routing problem in mobile and resource-limited networks into an infinite-time horizon MDP, an energy-aware and reliable RPL-based routing mechanism based on Q-learning is proposed to improve PDR in mobile IoT networks. This routing mechanism, which is called QUERA, utilizes mobility and quality-aware metrics, including Time-to-Reside (TTR), ETX, and RSSI. Furthermore, QUERA probes and maintains stable candidates based on its neighbor table management policy. These two aspects mitigate the need for retransmissions due to packet loss leading to less energy dissipation. According to evaluations, QUERA improves energy consumption by up to 50% against the state-of-the-art. The efficiency of QUERA is also evaluated in terms of power distribution diagram, which shows significant improvement in the lifetime of IoT devices.

Within AENs, semantic communication strategically substitutes part of the communication load with the computation load, aiming to boost spectrum efficiency. This departure from traditional communication paradigms introduces novel challenges, particularly in terms of energy efficiency. Furthermore, by adding complexity, the use of a semantic coder based on machine learning (ML) in AENs encounters real-time updating challenges, further amplifying energy costs in these complex and energy-limited environments. To address these challenges, we propose an energy-efficient semantic communication system tailored for AENs.

In this paper, we investigate the fundamental performance of an IRS-aided non-orthogonal ISAC (NO-ISAC) system, where a distributed IRS is deployed to assist concurrent communication and location sensing, occupying non-orthogonal time-frequency resources. We use the modified Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) to characterize the joint communication-sensing performance in a unified manner, and derive its closed-form expression, revealing that IRS affects the communication-sensing tradeoff by allocating its additional spatial resources.
