In the UWA data collection network, one destination needs to collect data from multiple underwater nodes. With the thought of node cooperation, one node can be selected as a potential relay to forward data for another failure node in the retransmission phase. One of the key points is that the selection schedule depends on the channel state information. Whereas, the channel usually varies during the information collection time which will make the decision schedule not accurate. In this paper, a Q-Learning based cooperation scheme has been proposed for node selection in time varying UWA channels, with the setup of proper states, action and rewards. The state is a combination of channel state information (CSI) and mutual information, and the rewards updating functions have been given. With the proposed method, the cooperative forwarding relay nodes can be chosen by the rewards which has been updated with channel variation information. Simulation results indicate that proposed Q-Learning based cooperative scheme can achieve better system capacity compared to random schemes. And with predicted CSI, the performance is close to the bench mark with ideal CSI.","PeriodicalId":335240,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC Workshops)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131108148","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}

This paper focuses on the secure beamforming design for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) DFRC systems, in which the target of interest is considered as a vicious eavesdropper who attempts to eavesdrop the information transmissions from the DFRC base station (BS) to the multiple legitimate users. In order to ensure the confidential information transmissions, artificial noise (AN) is generated at the BS to disrupt the receptions of the eavesdropper. While satisfying the communication quality-of-service (QoS) requirements of the legitimate users, the constant-modulus power constraints, and the beampattern similarity constraint, the maximum eavesdropping signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) of the target is minimized by jointly optimizing the transmit beamforming and the AN. A semi-definite relaxation (SDR) and fractional programming (FP) based algorithm is proposed to solve for the non-convex AN-aided secure beamforming design. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme and associated beamforming design algorithm in ensuring the secure transmissions for the DFRC systems.","PeriodicalId":335240,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC Workshops)","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132093016","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 forthcoming IoT technology will be characterized by two predominant features: energy self-sustainability, which is fueled by the recent thrilling wireless power transfer (WPT) technology, and sufficient computation power capability, which will be empowered by the mobile edge computing (MEC) networking. Very recently a promising technology named reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) has attracted much attention due to its effective beamforming capability and viable potentials to enhance wireless communication system. In this paper we consider exploiting RIS to enhance the WPT-based MEC IoT networks via boosting its energy transferring and communication efficiency. Specifically, we consider the scheduling design through jointly optimizing the WPT-time allocation, dynamic RIS phase control and all IoT mobile devices’ offloading decisions to improve the entire MEC network’s computation capability. This problem is very challenging due to its high dimension discrete variable space. Here we adopt a reinforcement learning (RL) based online method, which utilizes a novel double deep Q-network (DDQN) structure to effectively overcome the overestimation issue and outperforms the conventional deep Q-network (DQN) learning methods. Numerical results verify the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm and demonstrate the benefits of introducing RIS to assist the WPT-based MEC network.","PeriodicalId":335240,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC Workshops)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129625880","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}

This fact contradicts the requirement of subspace-based DOA estimation methods such as the conventional MUSIC method, leading to the performance degradation of DOA estimation. In order to overcome this problem, we propose an efficient DOA estimation method with Ambient Noise Elimination (Named as ANE method). In particular, the ANE method first transforms the array covariance matrix to a new one of which the imaginary part eliminates ambient noises. Afterwards, based on the imaginary part of the new covariance matrix, the ANE method completes DOA estimation. The ANE method involves the real-valued Singular Value Decomposition(SVD) and thus it is computationally more efficient than the conventional MUSIC method with the complex-valued Eigenvalue Decomposition(EVD). Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the ANE method is superior to the other methods, especially in a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).","PeriodicalId":335240,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC Workshops)","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133436889","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}

How to reasonably design and allocate computing resources and improve users’ experience quality with the limited computing and storage capabilities of mobile devices is a challenging problem. The existing work about joint optimization either minimizes the execution delay or the energy consumption of communication, computation, and caching resources of all the devices. However, the single-objective optimization may not be a practical solution given the heterogeneous capabilities and service requirements of mobile devices. This paper proposes a multi-objective joint optimization of communication-computation-caching resources to satisfy the various devices’ requirements for execution delay and energy consumption. We reformulate to optimize the tradeoff between energy consumption and latency with the limited computing and storage resources. Then, the problem is transferred to a multi-objective problem and solved by the multi optimization method of non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II).

In this paper, we propose a Part-Federated Learning (PFL) method which combines the advantages of split learning to improve the classical federated learning. This method, only uploading some parameters in the local model to the cloud server as shared parameters, reduces the communication cost of distributed learning, improves the privacy of the algorithm to the data, and has better performance in processing non-IDD distributed data. We optimize the proportion of shared parameters of PFL by considering the convergence of the algorithm and the communication cost.
