However, accurately perceived heading velocity and position of high speed USV in maritime scenario remains a challenge due to the limited availability of information and hardware cost. To address this issue, the newly released Orthogonal Time Frequency and Space (OTFS) modulation, which extracts Doppler shifts in the spatial domain and time delays, has been proposed to lift relative velocity and position accuracy. In this paper, we introduce a solution that leverages the OTFS waveform to continuously receive communication signals and identify delay-Doppler domain indices simultaneously. Specifically, we design a factor graph to realize belief propagation(BP), which has the potential to retrieve enough information to complete perception. Simulation results show that the proposed method yields significant improvements in velocity and position accuracy compared to the classic methods.","PeriodicalId":201450,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC Workshops)","volume":"12 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":"133118918","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}

Because both variations can be modeled as Markov chains, a two-layer Markov chain modeling approach and a two-layer Multi-Agent deep reinforcement learning (MARL) training model are used to achieve a reasonable matching of users’ load degrees with the heterogeneous wireless resource blocks. Specifically, the local information of spectrum sensing is used as the input state of the outer layer Agent, while the user’s current traffic queue information and the action decisions collected by the local accumulation window, and the corresponding acknowledge (ACK) feedback are used as the input state of the inner layer. A network-wide utility function associated with the user traffic changes is used to centrally train the two layers of user Agents offline. According to the simulation results, the proposed algorithm significantly simplifies the online computation and online interaction process because the complex training process has been completed offline.","PeriodicalId":201450,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC Workshops)","volume":"21 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":"130864433","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 geometric shaping (GS) optimization as one typical constellation shaping method drives the improvement of communication capacity and system performance. This paper presents a novel mutual information neural estimation (MINE)based GS method to optimize the high-order constellations in pure additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel, which uses the deep neural network (DNN) to estimate the mutual information (MI) value and maximize the MI to approach the AWGN capacity asymptotically. The proposed system trains both the encoder and MINE networks by back propagation, and does not need to train a decoder for optimization and thus can avoid the loss caused by the decoder. Simulation results show that the MINE-based shaping design outperforms the unshaped M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) in terms of MI values. Note that the capacity gain increases slightly as the order M increases. Furthermore, the proposed scheme is promising for constellation design in various channel models, such as the phase noise and the fading channels, once the channel model used in MINE is matched, which can be a future research topic.","PeriodicalId":201450,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC Workshops)","volume":"126 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":"123810295","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 proposed scheme optimizes the positions of QAM constellation points that are close to the origin, such that the Euclidean distance for detecting active or inactive status of a grid point in Delay-Doppler domain can be enlarged. This adjustment offers a more accurate detection rate, thus improving the overall BER across index bits and information bits for index modulation.

With the rapid development of deep learning (DL), HAR based on DL models has become mainstream and achieved good performance. However, most of these methods are still far from the practical application, the main challenges include poor cross-environment recognition performance and the high requirements for sensing devices of DL models. Based on this, we propose a cloud-edge collaborative HAR framework (Co-WiSensing), which explores the possibility of cross-environment HAR with low resource consumption. Considering the characteristic of the massive resources of cloud servers and the resource constraints of edge devices, a high-performance multi-branch cloud HAR model is delicately designed and the personalized model compression and offloading strategies are proposed to construct lightweight edge HAR models for different environments, this allows the edge users to realize perception under resource-limitation conditions. Extensive experiments are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed framework. Experimental results show that our framework can provide better HAR accuracy across all environments while using less computation and storage cost than the state-of-the-art lightweight models.","PeriodicalId":201450,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC Workshops)","volume":"30 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":"123367359","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 Kalman filter is utilized to estimate the position and velocities for all nodes. On this basis, we can obtain the propagation delay errors for asymmetric links caused by high mobility. Then, the prediction-based delay error is compensated to the actual case.
