Most prior research on energy-efficient Open RAN has focused on switching techniques such as dynamic cell on/off strategies and adaptive resource allocation, primarily through simulations. This letter investigates Central Processing Unit (CPU) power utilization at the NodeB (base station) level, focusing on User Equipment (UE) connection states by making use of a USA testbed (i.e., POWDER testbed). Two scenarios are considered for the experimental setup: (1) a simulated virtual environment with a single high-powered device and (2) a physical hardware deployment using the separate low-power device for Open RAN. We present key findings from simulated and physical NodeB experiments conducted on the USA testbed, with real hardware. The findings include the relationship between power utilization and forced throughput, the impact of an increasing number of UEs on power utilization, the effects of different UE connection states (active, idle, or not connected), and the behavior of uplink and downlink throughput in both simulated and physical setups. Additionally, this letter introduces and validates power-law equations for power utilization in both setups, offering valuable insights into the effectiveness of UE connection state switching on NodeB CPU power utilization pattern. These findings contribute to the development of strategies for achieving energy-saving objectives in Open RAN.","PeriodicalId":13197,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Communications Letters","volume":"29 6","pages":"1225-1229"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10949489","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144272797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike existing methods, our method considers a dynamic scenario involving mobile primary users (PUs) and secondary users (SUs) and addresses the complexities introduced by user mobility. The transformer architecture utilizes an attention mechanism, allowing the proposed method to model the temporal dynamics of user mobility by effectively capturing long-range dependencies. The proposed method first computes tokens from the sequence of covariance matrices (CMs) for each SU. It processes them in parallel using the SU-transformer to learn the spatio-temporal features at SU-level. Subsequently, the collaborative transformer learns the group-level PU state from all SU-level feature representations. The main goal of predicting the PU states at each SU-level and group-level is to improve detection performance even more. The proposed method is tested under imperfect reporting channel scenarios to show robustness. The efficacy of our method is validated with simulation results that demonstrate its higher performance compared to existing methods in terms of detection probability <inline-formula> <tex-math>$P_{d}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>, sensing error, and classification accuracy (CA).","PeriodicalId":13197,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Communications Letters","volume":"29 6","pages":"1220-1224"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144272796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the complex nature of shortwave transmission channels makes automatic burst signal recognition particularly challenging, especially in non-cooperative scenarios. This letter presents an optimized recognition method based on the You Only Look Once (YOLO) network, which accurately identifies signal types while improving the precision of burst time detection. A Physical Intersection over Union (PIoU) is proposed by leveraging the bounding box’s left edge, corresponding to signal burst time, to refine bounding box regression and resolve ambiguities in conventional IoUs. Experiments show the proposed PIoU improves the accuracy of burst time detection by 10.44% under Signal-to-Noise Ratios (SNRs) from -20dB to 18dB, compared to the state-of-the-art IoU methods. Further tests across 8 shortwave communication channels confirm consistent improvements of burst time detection, while other metrics such as Precision, Recall, mean Average Precision at 50% IoU(mAP50), and mAP95 are maintained. These advancements significantly benefit signal decoding and information restoration.","PeriodicalId":13197,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Communications Letters","volume":"29 5","pages":"1156-1160"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143931314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We adopt advanced antenna combination selection strategies to further decrease complexity and enhance BER performance. Moreover, a low-complexity detector is designed in this investigated scheme while maintaining the acceptable BER. This detector also reduces complexity and mitigates the side effects of imperfect CSI estimation. The analytical performance of the LEO-GSSK scheme is presented in this letter, along with some interesting insights and conclusions given in simulation results. Besides, to approach practical wireless environment, the imperfect CSI estimation is considered in simulation results. The theoretical analysis and simulation results indicate that the LEO-GSSK scheme with novel antenna combination selection and detector designs, outperforms traditional schemes, offering a promising solution to meet the high data rate and reliable connectivity demands of satellite communications.","PeriodicalId":13197,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Communications Letters","volume":"29 6","pages":"1210-1214"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144272699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
