Edge computing provides an efficient way to deliver the HD map to autonomous vehicles, which deploys the edge servers at the edge of the network and shortens the transmission distance. The edge-assisted HD map delivery is generally done by the wireless transmission between edge servers, like roadside units (RSU), and vehicles. However, the transmission channel status, like the transmission rate, is fragile and easily influenced by the speed of vehicles, the weather, and the number of connections of RSU. A proper HD map delivery is needed to meet a time deadline over different channel conditions. This work firstly utilizes the love-of-variety-based method to model the different versions of the HD maps with different data sizes. Then, an adaptive upper confidence bound based multi-arm bandit method is proposed to choose the appropriate version of the HD map under the different wireless communication statuses. The simulation results show the effectiveness of our proposed method, which achieves the best total accumulative rewards and the least regret compared with the baseline methods.","PeriodicalId":226792,"journal":{"name":"2023 32nd Wireless and Optical Communications Conference (WOCC)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127528358","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}

Combining with non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technology, each UAV is able to serve multiple GUs at the same spectrum without causing server interference which greatly improves the spectrum efficiency. However, in the multi-UAV NOMA network, the service allocation between UAV and GU is binary variable, and there are non-convex constraints in the resource optimization problem, such as the transmission power control is integral-involved, which leads to a non-convex mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problem. The paper proposes a joint optimization algorithm based on block coordinate descent (BCD) to iteratively maximize the spectrum energy efficiency (SEE), i.e., solving the service assignment, trajectory optimization and transmission power control by K-means clustering, deterministic deep policy gradient (DDPG) and successive convex approximation (SCA), respectively.

In this work, we consider a scenario where a UAV base station (UAVBS) communicates with legitimate user equipments (UEs) in the presence of eavesdroppers (EDs). Specifically, a UAVBS travels around UEs in turns to send commands and collects information from UEs. To guarantee the data transmission rate, the millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication is integrated into the UAVBS system. Two problems are mainly resolved for the proposed system, namely radar-aided beamforming design and physical layer security (PLS) problem. With the assistance of the radar equipped on the UAVBS, the location of the UEs can be obtained before the beamforming is designed to solve the beam selection problem. In addition, the power allocation is optimized using the difference-of-two-convex-function (D.C.) programming algorithms. In order to safeguard data transmissions against such EDs, the PLS communication system is proposed by considering the location of the UAVBS. We derive the path planning algorithm for the UAVBS to avoid the data transmission with the EDs using the disciplined convex and concave programming (DCCP) algorithm. Extensive computer experiments validate the effectiveness of our proposed location-aware PLS communications in the UAVBS system.","PeriodicalId":226792,"journal":{"name":"2023 32nd Wireless and Optical Communications Conference (WOCC)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128437441","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}

However, the metaverse applications will generate diversified communication services with differentiated Quality of Service (QoS) requirements, which will be a great challenge for F6G to develop End-to-End (E2E) customized transmission strategies. Traditional single metric-based routing algorithms cannot efficiently orchestrate the network resources to meet the diversified QoS requirements. To solve the above problems, we propose a Cooperative Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (Co-MARL) routing algorithm, which measures the differentiated QoS demands through a generic utility function to facilitate multiple agents to solve the multi-objective optimization problem.
