Furthermore, the incorporation of renewable energy harvesting capabilities into base stations or IoT devices has the potential to reduce grid energy consumption. However, it is critical to make an efficient decision for task offloading and resource allocation in order to fully utilize system potential and reduce carbon emissions. In this paper, we propose a carbon-aware MEC framework for a hybrid renewable and grid-energy MEC system. In particular, we aim to optimize the system’s task queue length and carbon emissions in an unpredictable environment with stochastic tasks and renewable energy arrivals. We first formulate the joint task offloading and resource allocation problem by optimizing the total system cost (including task queue length and carbon emissions) and then propose a DDPG-based joint optimization strategy, eventually obtaining an effective resolution through continuous action space learning in the changing environment. Numerical results confirm that our proposal can yield efficient offloading and reduce carbon emissions for the proposed MEC network.","PeriodicalId":201450,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC Workshops)","volume":"300 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123122960","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}

This paper discusses a cooperative relay network based on semantic network coding (CR-SNC) to improve the reliability problem in long-distance semantic communication image transmission. By introducing a relay node, we cooperatively encode the semantic information of multiple users at the relay. Without reducing the transmission efficiency, the reliability of image transmission in semantic communication is improved. The solution efficiently utilizes the characteristic of semantic information by using network coding techniques to jointly encode the semantic features of multiple users, thereby improving the reliability of transmission. Through experiments, compared with the traditional communication model, the cooperative relay network model proposed in this paper can achieve a better image restoration effect in the environment of low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).","PeriodicalId":201450,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC Workshops)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133673537","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}

The existing 2.4GHz and 5GHz unlicensed spectrum cannot meet the growth in demand and the expected quality of service (QoS) for current applications. Considering the scarcity of spectrum resources, it is more important for the relevant regulators to accurately predict the spectrum requirement over the next five years. This paper analyzes and predicts spectrum requirement for two standards of WLAN, i.e., IEEE 802.11ax and IEEE 802.11ay. Specifically, for IEEE 802.11ax, we first predict the busy hour data traffic of WLAN over the next five years. Then, the WLAN Toolbox is adopted to simulate the data traffic of WLAN in a scenario of the indoor office building. We predict the total bandwidth for an 802.11ax network to reach the required rate and latency metric and come to the conclusion that extra three channels on 6GHz should be made available for unlicensed use, in addition to the unlicensed channels on 5GHz. In terms of IEEE 802.11ay enabled by millimeter wave, we use ns-3 to evaluate its performance with different channels on 60GHz. According to the requirement of these applications enabled by millimeter wave, it is concluded that four channels on 60GHz should be available for IEEE 802.11ay.","PeriodicalId":201450,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC Workshops)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130711241","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}

Specifically, the proposed method adopts semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) resource selection to facilitate periodic communication message dissemination and radar detection. To ensure vehicle safety in ISAC vehicular networks, the proposed method dynamically adjusts each vehicle’s radar scanning period and transmit power based on its priority measured by velocity and channel congestion state reported by neighbors, thus enabling high-priority vehicles to occupy spectrum resources preferentially. Simulation results show that the proposed method improves radar and communication performance compared with those based on traditional SPS and time-division-based methods.","PeriodicalId":201450,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC Workshops)","volume":"5 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131438276","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}

As a result, it has become difficult to train DL algorithms effectively. In order to improve the generalization ability of the network to unknown data and the accuracy of signal recognition with only a small number of training samples, an Model-agnostic Meta- Learning (MAML) algorithm is proposed in this paper, which can train the network by learning to quickly adapt to different classification tasks, thereby improving its generalization ability and extending to new datasets. Specifically, the deep neural network is pre-trained to reduce the training difficulty during the meta-learning stage. Additionally, both learnable scaling and offset parameters are introduced to transfer the pre-trained network parameters, thereby reducing the amount of network parameters required to learn new classes of signals. In view of the long UAV signals and poor recognition under low signal-to-noise ratio, both spatial and channel attention mechanisms are also added to the feature extraction network to better capture UAV signal features. Experimental results demonstrate that the propose algorithm can achieve a maximum recognition accuracy of 98% with only 5 signal training samples.","PeriodicalId":201450,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC Workshops)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129398200","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}
