In this work a generalized Newton's method (GNM) is presented as a powerful approach to learning in deep neural networks (DNN). This technique was compared to two popular approaches, namely the stochastic gradient descent (SGD) and the Adam algorithm, in two popular classification tasks. The performance of the proposed approach confirmed it as an attractive alternative to state-of-the-art first order solutions. Due to the good results presented in the case of shallow DNN, in the last part of the article an hybrid optimization method is presented. This method consists in combining two optimization algorithms, i.e. GNM and Adam or GNM and SGD, during the training phase within the layers of the neural network. This configuration aims to benefit from the strengths of both first- and second-order algorithms. In this case a convolutional neural network is considered and its parameters are updated with a different optimization algorithm. Also in this case, the hybrid approach returns the best performance with respect to the first order algorithms.","PeriodicalId":38425,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Telecommunications and Information Technology","volume":" 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141830987","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 study extends to Rayleigh fading channels, considering practical impairments such as successful interference cancellation (SIC) error, channel estimation error (CEE), and feedback delay error. In comparing the proposed system to conventional CNOMA, our findings highlight the substantial impact of SIC, CEE, and feedback delay imperfections on the performance of both proposed scenarios. Notably, the application of BRS-based TAS protocol outperforms PRS-based TAS in terms of OP and throughput.

Such systems are capable of precisely measuring distances (with their accuracy expressed in centimeters), are immune to interference, offer low latency and transmit data in an energy-efficient manner. Widespread adoption of UWB technology has triggered significant demand for testing integrated circuits these systems rely on, prompting the development of new testing methods to meet the ever increasing requirements in terms of testing speed and reliability. The same applies to sensitivity tests, in the course of which up to 2000 different packets may be received. The process of generating and analyzing such a large number of packets is time consuming. Furthermore, if multiple devices need to be tested simultaneously, the duration of the test will be multiplied accordingly. In such a context, the article investigates the lead time required to generate 2000 UWB packets using conventional methods and proposes a novel approach to significantly reduce packet generation time and improve testing efficiency.","PeriodicalId":38425,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Telecommunications and Information Technology","volume":"19 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141685949","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 new expression for estimation-error variance is derived. It is shown that the training sequences must be balanced and must have specific correlation properties. The latter are required only in a specific zone. Sequences that satisfy these criteria exist and are referred to as zero-correlation zone (ZCZ) solutions. Consequently, by using balanced ZCZ sequences, harmful direct current (DC) offset can be removed. Owing to their zero-cross correlation, interference from other transmitting antennas may be eliminated. Furthermore, a closed-form expression of the estimation-error variance can be obtained due to their impulse-like autocorrelation.

It is proved that, in addition to offering classic eu-cma security, the scheme is existentially forward unforgeable under an adaptive chosen message attack (fu-cma). We also prove that the secret keys are updated without revealing anything about any of the keys from the prior periods. Therefore, we design a polynomial-time reduction and use it to show that the ability to create a forgery leads to a feasible method of solving the well-known small integer solution (SIS) problem. Since the security of the scheme is based on computational hardness of a SIS problem, it turns out to be resistant to both classic and quantum methods. In addition, the scheme is based on the \"Fiat-Shamir with aborts\" approach that foils a transcript attack. As for the key-updating mechanism, it is based on selected properties of binary trees, with the number of leaves being the same as the number of time periods in the scheme. Forward security is gained under the assumption that one out of two hash functions is modeled as a random oracle.","PeriodicalId":38425,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Telecommunications and Information Technology","volume":" 33","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141366095","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}

We demonstrate a long distance transmission of a 28 GHz 64 QAM signal via a single mode fiber (SMF) after modulating it with the use of two parallel Mach-Zehnder modulators, without any optical amplifiers. The results show that our prototype solution is capable of transferring data over distances of up to 140 km, via SMF, with a 10 Gbps data rate. The error vector magnitude (EVM) was found to be 7.709%.
