The channel model also supports the movements of transmitter, receiver, and clusters. For RIS, a new method is proposed for the joint design of reflection coefficients in MIMO channels based on cascaded RISs. In addition, different channel properties in the spatial domain, time domain, and frequency domain are studied to verify the validity and non-stationary properties of the model and explore the improvement of channel performance by double RISs.","PeriodicalId":259116,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123026586","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, existing HAR systems that use deep learning methods to achieve the ideal accuracy of recognition heavily rely on massive amounts of labeled training samples. Unfortunately, it requires considerable human effort and is unrealistic for real-life applications. In this paper, we propose a novel system, which combines active learning with WiFi-based HAR. The system is capable of building a good activities recognizer in HAR with a limited amount of labeled training samples. We thus call the system ALSensing. To the best of our knowledge, ALSensing is the first system to apply active learning to WiFi-based HAR. We implement ALSensing using commercial WiFi devices and evaluated it with realistic data in several different environments. Our experimental results show that ALSensing achieves 52.83% recognition accuracy using 3.7% training samples, 58.97% recognition accuracy using 15% training samples and the baseline predicted with the existing method achieves 62.19% recognition accuracy using 100% training samples. When the performance of ALSensing is similar to that of the baseline, the required labeled samples are much less than that of the baseline.","PeriodicalId":259116,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129786910","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}

In this paper, we study on an automatic gain control (AGC) system for HAPS wireless repeater systems. We assume a repeater system, which uses different frequencies for the feeder and service links to avoid loop-back interference between the links. Measuring the receive power in the feeder link according to a known reference signal instead of the total receive power avoids fluctuations in the transmit power depending on the existence of traffic channels. We propose an AGC system for a HAPS system compatible with 5G NR, which enables the repeater to transmit at maximum power to maximize the coverage area regardless of changes in the propagation loss or polarization in the feeder link due to the flight of the HAPS aircraft. We conducted experiments to demonstrate the performance of the proposed AGC system.","PeriodicalId":259116,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128625323","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}

Training with large data can enhance FL learning accuracy, which is associated with non-negligible energy use. Scheduled edge devices with small data save energy but decrease FL learning accuracy due to a reduction in energy consumption. A trade-off between the energy consumption of edge devices and the learning accuracy of FL is formulated in this proposed work. The FL-enabled twin-delayed deep deterministic policy gradient (FL-TD3) framework is proposed as a solution to the formulated problem because its state and action spaces are large in a continuous domain. This framework provides the maximum accuracy ratio of FL divided by the device’s energy consumption. A comparison of the numerical results with the state-of-the-art demonstrates that the ratio has been improved significantly.","PeriodicalId":259116,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"245 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124620322","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}

To this end, we establish an online learning framework for abnormality traffic detection by embracing Gaussian Process (GP) and Sparse Representation (SR). The contributions of this paper are two-fold: 1). We utilize a special kernel, i.e., mixture of Gaussian, to better explore and exploit the evolving traffic characteristics, so as to more accurately model network traffic. 2). To combat noise and modeling error, we formulate a feature vector based on Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence to measure the difference between normal and abnormal traffic, based on which SR is adopted to perform robust binary classification. Finally, we demonstrate the superiority of the proposed framework in terms of detection accuracy through simulation.","PeriodicalId":259116,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126883624","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}

To combat these challenges, we propose a multi-device uplink uncoded video transmission scheme (MDUcast). Different from traditional encoded video transmission systems, MDUcast performs efficient linear operations instead of complex coding to reduce computing requirements on video sensors as well as guarantee the reconstructed video quality proportional to channel conditions in heterogenous environments. Furthermore, in MDUcast, an optimal power allocation strategy and a subcarrier scheduling algorithm based on matching theory are proposed to approach the near-optimal performance for multi-device uplink transmission, where both channel diversity and video content diversity are exploited. Simulation results demonstrate that MDUcast outperforms conventional Softcast and Parcast in terms of peak signal-to-noise ratio under various scenarios.","PeriodicalId":259116,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130590025","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}

A dedicated caching device called helper which has a large cache can be used in a wireless D2D network, which can significantly improve the performance of network. In this paper, to better model the file-centric data transmission, we proposed a concept called age of file (AoF), which is defined as the duration from the latest updating of the file. We analyzed the AoF, energy cost and updating cost of the files in the network level. We comprehensively consider the AoF and energy cost through the maximum and minimum normalization methods, and proposed an AoF-based accessing strategy. In the strategy, users can adjust the access of files according to their demand for file freshness and improve the quality of service.
