This spectral efficiency loss can be avoided using superimposed pilots, where delay-Doppler (DD) bins in the OTFS frame carries both data and pilot symbols. In this paper, we propose a sparse superimposed pilot scheme for channel estimation, where all the DD bins in a frame carry data symbols and pilot symbols are superimposed over some of them, sparsely. The proposed scheme does not suffer spectral efficiency loss due to pilot/guard symbols. It also has the advantage of more localized pilot-data interference profile that leads to better performance. We derive the minimum mean square error (MMSE) channel estimator for the proposed scheme. We obtain optimum number of pilot symbols per frame and power distribution among data and pilot symbols through simulations. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves better performance at a lesser complexity compared to existing superimposed pilot scheme. An iterative scheme that further improves performance is also proposed.","PeriodicalId":259116,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"126 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":"133014761","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}

Even though area-based models simplify the management of ML workflows considerably, there is also a need for cell-based models as these tend to provide better performance. Moreover, we show that area-based models can be part of ML workflow as they can complement cell-based ones. We finalize our work by discussing the possibility of reusing available ML models from other cells as a way of reducing the time needed for applying ML algorithms in newly deployed cells.

Under constraints of the UAV energy and the channel decoding error rate, we formulate a reliability maximization problem by jointly optimizing the IRS’s scheduling, the UAV’s trajectory, the IRS’s phase shift, and the UAV’s transmit power. Since the partial constraints of the problem are strictly nonconvex and its variables are coupling, the problem is difficult to convert to a nonconvex problem. Therefore, we propose a chaotic adaptation hybrid whale optimization algorithm (CAHWOA) to solve the problem. CAHWOA is implemented by using alternately the chaotic adaptation whale optimization algorithm (CAWOA) and the binary optimization algorithm (BWOA). Simulation results demonstrate that the joint optimization of IRS and UAV can improve the system communication reliability by almost 32% compared with the two baseline schemes. CAHWOA can improve the convergence rate by nearly 20% and enhance the optimization-seeking accuracy by about 0.04 compared with the three baseline algorithms.","PeriodicalId":259116,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"46 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":"130945017","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}

These gesture recognition systems rely on neural networks trained with a large number of labeled data. However, the recognition model trained with data under certain conditions would suffer from significant performance degradation when applied in practical deployment, which limits the application of gesture recognition systems. In this paper, we propose UDAWiGR, an unsupervised domain adaptation framework for WiFi-based gesture recognition aiming to enhance the performance of the recognition model in new conditions by making effective use of the unlabeled data from new conditions. We first propose a pseudo-labeling method with confidence control constraint to utilize unlabeled data for model training. We then utilize consistency regularization to align the output distribution for enhancing the robustness of neural network under signal perturbations. Furthermore, we propose a cross-match loss to combine the pseudo-labeling and consistency regularization, which makes the whole framework simple yet effective. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed framework could achieve 4.35% accuracy improvement comparing with the state-of-the-art methods on public dataset.","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":"129020206","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 security systems are turning more intelligent together with the development of smart information technologies, critical requirements for wireless target localization have challenged the traditional positioning techniques, including flexibility, portability, deployment cost, computational efficiency, and estimation accuracy, to name a few. Although the widely- accepted classical algorithm, MUltiple SIgnal Classification (MUSIC), has been proven to be an effective tool for the space-time estimation, it can hardly satisfy localization requirements under such security scenarios due to the high complexity and the bias error led by grid searching. Thus, in this paper, we propose a Joint Angle and Delay Estimation (JADE)-based localization algorithm using only one single portable base station, which eliminates the grid bias with low computational complexity. First, a MUSIC-based coarse JADE approach is proposed; then, a Taylor-series-based refinement method is introduced to eliminate the grid bias; and finally, the target mobile station is localized by the estimated time delay and angle information. The performance is evaluated by numerical simulations under various conditions, compared with five different existing algorithms. Our proposed MT-2D algorithm is proven to achieve a better estimation accuracy for the time delay, angle and position with a relatively low computational cost.","PeriodicalId":259116,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"32 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":"129228190","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 system consists of a decode-and-forward relay connecting a source and destination node. The transmission is performed under the presence of two eavesdroppers aiming to intercept independently the source-relay and source-destination communication channels. It is assumed that the transmitters are equipped with one transmit antenna, while the receivers have multiple receive antennas. Based on the statistical properties of the per-hop signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), a closed-form formula for the network’s secrecy intercept probability (IP) is derived, in terms of the main system and channel parameters. The results correlate the impact of such parameters on the secrecy level of the system, where the latter can be enhanced by increasing the number of antennas at the legitimate receivers and the average SNRs of the legitimate links. Furthermore, it is shown that as the CSI imperfection level, nodes’ speed, delay, and carrier frequency increase, the system’s secrecy degrades.
