To address this challenge, we propose WMPA-ConvBERT-BM, a novel hybrid deep learning architecture that integrates ConvBERT and a multi-head attention-enhanced bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit to effectively capture both semantic and structural features from URLs.

Our method learns activity-specific importance weights for each radar modality (24 GHz, 77 GHz, and Xethru sensors). Unlike existing concatenation or averaging approaches, our method dynamically adapts radar contributions based on motion characteristics. This addresses cross-frequency generalization challenges, where transfer learning methods achieve only 11%–34% accuracy. Using the CI4R dataset with spectrograms from 11 activities, our approach achieves 99.21% accuracy, representing a 15.8% improvement over existing fusion methods (83.4%). This demonstrates that different radar frequencies capture complementary information about human motion. Ablation studies show that while the three-radar system optimizes performance, dual-radar combinations achieve comparable accuracy (24GHz+77GHz: 96.1%, 24GHz+Xethru: 95.8%, 77GHz+Xethru: 97.2%), enabling flexible deployment for resource-constrained applications. The attention mechanism reveals interpretable patterns: 77 GHz radar receives higher weights for fine movements (superior Doppler resolution), while 24 GHz dominates gross body movements (better range resolution). The system maintains 71.4% accuracy at 10 dB SNR, demonstrating environmental robustness.

This paper proposes a multi-UAV-based data collection approach, leveraging Q-learning (QL)-based UAV path planning to optimize trajectory selection dynamically while addressing the challenges of minimizing energy consumption and travel distance. We model the UAV path planning as a variant of the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), where UAVs start and end their routes at a ground base station (GBS) after visiting designated data collection points (CPs). Unlike traditional heuristic-based methods, the QL model adapts in real-time to environmental and operational conditions, ensuring fault tolerance and operational robustness. Through extensive simulations using NS3, our results demonstrate that deploying multiple UAVs instead of a single UAV improves mission completion time by approximately 67% and increases residual energy levels by more than 80% when managing up to 500 sensor nodes with four UAVs. Furthermore, the proposed QL-based path planning significantly reduces total travel distance and energy consumption, enabling balanced workload distribution among UAVs and ensuring higher data collection reliability in large-scale agricultural WSNs. These findings confirm the effectiveness of a multi-UAV, QL-based approach for scalable, fault-tolerant, and energy-efficient UAV-aided data collection systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":29968,"journal":{"name":"Internet of Things","volume":"33 ","pages":"Article 101698"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144653444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In FL, client selection (CS) plays an important role in choosing a portion of clients for training. The more efficient CS is, the more FL’s performance will be improved. A balanced CS is required to reduce the effects of discrepancies between clients’ local data and clients’ performance. For this problem, using historical data can be an effective solution. Due to a lack of reasonable and balanced use of historical data, existing CS methods in the literature suffer from serious drawbacks, like over/under-representation of clients, and data model skewness. This can adversely affect FL performance, particularly in terms of convergence rate and model accuracy. To help solve these challenges, this paper proposes a new CS method (Pow-MUCB) which is based on the Power of choice-(Pow-d-) and is equipped with a new, modified Upper Confidence Bound (UCB) approach to evaluate the clients’ contribution and performance. This method selects clients whose participation results in more balanced, representative selection and informative global updates, avoids over/ underrepresentation of clients, and model skewness, improving overall FL performance. To validate the method’s performance in both static and dynamic client sets, comprehensive comparisons and experimental results are provided. The results demonstrated that Pow-MUCB enhances the overall performance and significantly outperforms the existing baselines in terms of global model accuracy (up to 7%), convergence rate, resulting from a reduced communication rounds needed to reach the convergence.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":29968,"journal":{"name":"Internet of Things","volume":"33 ","pages":"Article 101687"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144587609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
