To adapt to such challenging settings and better accomplish the network auto-tuning tasks, we propose a generic learnable model-driven framework. We further consider transmit regularized zero-forcing (RZF) precoding as a usage instance to illustrate the proposed framework. The overall process can be divided into three cascaded stages. First, we design a light neural network for refined prediction of sum rate based on coarse model-driven approximations. Then, the CSI uncertainty is estimated on the learned predictor in an iterative manner. In the last step the regularization term in the transmit RZF precoding is optimized. The effectiveness of the generic framework and the derivative method thereof is showcased via simulation results.","PeriodicalId":313199,"journal":{"name":"GLOBECOM 2022 - 2022 IEEE Global Communications Conference","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127824478","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}

Since the DNN-based scheme doesn't need signaling and real-time information exchange between the gateways and the users, it can significantly decrease the implementation complexity by employing the channel statistics of users in multibeam SATCOM. Moreover, the DNN-based scheme can be trained as a universal approximator of the payload power resource-allocation agent for any unseen satellite channel and has the potential for a real-time operation with reduced implementation complexity, compared to the mathematical optimization-based scheme.

In particular, we define the Cramér-Rao bound (CRB)-rate region to characterize the S&C tradeoff, and propose a pentagon inner bound of the region.

In the framework, a server transmits image data to a set of users utilizing semantic communication techniques, which enable the server to transmit only the semantic information that accurately captures the meaning of an image. To evaluate the performance of the studied semantic communication system, we propose a multimodal metric called image-to-graph semantic similarity (ISS). The significance of this new metric is that it can measure the correlation of the meaning between semantic information and the original image. To meet the ISS requirement of each user, the server must jointly determine the semantic information to be transmitted and the resource blocks (RBs) used for semantic information transmission. We formulate this problem as an optimization problem whose goal is to minimize the average transmission latency while reaching the ISS requirement. To solve this problem, we propose a model-based actor critic deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithm. Compared to traditional actor critic DRL, in the proposed algorithm, we design a novel value function to improve the action exploration thus improving the probability of finding an optimal solution. Simulation results show that the proposed method can reduce the transmission delay by 16.4% and improves the convergence speed by up to 50% compared to the traditional actor critic DRL.","PeriodicalId":313199,"journal":{"name":"GLOBECOM 2022 - 2022 IEEE Global Communications Conference","volume":"127 11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124238185","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}

By assuming that only statistical channel state information (CSI) of Eve and local CSIs of legitimate users are known, a secrecy beamforming scheme with artificial noise (AN) is designed for secure transmission, and a modified interference alignment (IA) scheme is proposed for secrecy enhancement. Unlike the conventional AN-aided IA approaches which may lead to private signal cancellation, we propose a novel design modification with security protection. Moreover, a definite connection between improperness and in-feasibility of IA is established, to provide guiding insights on IA requirements. Based on a strict mathematical analysis, we further characterize the impact of transmit power on transceiver design and secrecy performance.

In traditional FL paradigm, local models are usually required to be homogeneous for aggregation to achieve an accurate global model. Moreover, considerable communication cost and training time may be incurred in resource-constrained edge networks due to a large number of UEs participating in model transmission and the large size of transmitted models. Therefore, it is imperative to develop effective training schemes for heterogeneous FL models, while reducing communication cost as well as training time. In this paper, we propose an adaptive quantization scheme based on ensemble distillation (AQeD) for FL to facilitate personalized quantized model training over heterogeneous local models with different size, structure, and quantization level, etc. Specifically, we design an augmented loss function by jointly considering distillation loss function, quantization values and available wireless resources, where UEs train their local personalized machine learning models and send the quantized models to a server. Based on local quantized models, the server first performs global aggregation for cluster ensembles and then sends the aggregated model of the cluster back to the participating UEs. Numerical results show that our proposed AQeD scheme can significantly reduce communication cost as well as training time in comparison with some known state-of-the-art solutions.","PeriodicalId":313199,"journal":{"name":"GLOBECOM 2022 - 2022 IEEE Global Communications Conference","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114826596","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 address this problem, we propose a novel two-phase frame-work consisting of Initial Volunteer-Task Mapping (i-VTM) and Adaptive Common Slot Finding (a-CSF) algorithms. The i-VTM algorithm assigns volunteers to the tasks based on their skills and spatial proximity, whereas the a-CSF algorithm recommends appropriate common working time slots for successful volunteer collaboration.

A rigorous detection assessment using an open-source dataset reveals meaningful performance trends for various attacks. In particular, while the majority of attacks can be effectively detected, detection may be curtailed for certain misbehavior types due to partly inaccurate clustering and erratic activity of the attacker over time. Performance comparison against benchmark detectors reveals the robustness of our approach in the presence of potentially inconsistent or mislabeled training data. The real-time detection capabilities of our framework are also explored in an effort to evaluate its practical feasibility in mission-critical V2X scenarios.","PeriodicalId":313199,"journal":{"name":"GLOBECOM 2022 - 2022 IEEE Global Communications Conference","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114704498","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}
