In order to improve the timeliness of this system under limited service resource, an important policy, dynamic resource sharing policy is proposed which allocates the channel resource for transmission of the arrived update based on the state of the queue. By modeling the queue as a stochastic hybrid system, the closed form of average AoI of the proposed scheme is achieved.

To overcome these shortcomings, this paper proposes an advanced VMP algorithm based on Dueling-DDQN. Moreover, specific optimization techniques are introduced to enhance the exploration strategy and the capability of achieving long-term reward. Experiment results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms native DQN in terms of convergence speed, Q-value estimation accuracy and stability. Meanwhile, the proposed algorithm can achieve multiple optimization goals such as reducing power consumption, ensuring resource load balance and Improving user service Quality.","PeriodicalId":425118,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC)","volume":"50 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114090098","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}

In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid user pairing to process a case where the number of far users in a cell is larger than the number of near users. Conventional NOMA divides users into multiple groups according to their channel gains, however, there will be a large amount of far users left when the pairing of near users is completed in this scenario. In such case, we allow multiple far users being paired with one near user to optimally utilize the spectrum of far users in the NOMA system, and multiple far users share the same bandwidth. We have compared the proposed algorithm with conventional NOMA, OMA and some algorithms proposed in other papers, simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can significantly increase the system capacity. The superiority of the proposed algorithm is also analyzed from the perspective of user fairness.","PeriodicalId":425118,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC)","volume":"192 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":"123749018","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}

However, wireless devices (WDs) can not harvest sufficient energy and the link used for offloading tasks is hostile due to the doubly attenuation. Fortunately, the efficiency of wireless power transfer and spectrum can be improved significantly by intelligent reflecting surface (IRS), which can steer the incident signal collaboratively. This paper proposes a wireless powered MEC network assisted by the IRS, where the WDs follow a binary offloading rule. Our objective is to maximize the system computation rate by jointly optimizing the downlink and uplink passive beamforming of all IRSs, computing modes of the WDs and time allocation for wireless power transfer (WPT) and task offloading. The block coordinate descent (BCD) method is introduced to decompose the original problem into three sub-problems. The major difficulty is caused by the combinatorial nature of the WDs' computing mode selection. To solve this problem, we propose a duplex coordinate descent with dictionary (DCDD) method to obtain a sub-optimal solution with high efficiency. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme can achieve significant performance gains over the benchmark schemes without IRS.","PeriodicalId":425118,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC)","volume":"1 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":"123760961","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 the video content seen by the user largely relies on the user's viewing direction and the size of field of view, in this paper, we investigate viewpoint prediction and dynamic tile selection to improve users' QoE for mobile 360-degree video streaming. Specifically, we first design a recurrent neural network integrated with attention mechanism to predict the user's viewpoint in the next video segment. We then propose a dynamic tile-selection method which selects and transmits the tiles that are most likely to be viewed in a segment through online learning.

Nevertheless, private information can still be inferred from the communicated model parameters by adversaries. In addition, due to the limited channel bandwidth, the model communication between clients and the server has become a serious bottleneck. In this paper, we consider an FL framework that utilizes local differential privacy, where the client adds artificial Gaussian noise to the local model update before aggregation. To reduce the communication overhead of the differential privacy-protected model, we propose the universal vector quantization for FL with local differential privacy mechanism, which quantizes the model parameters in a universal vector quantization approach. Furthermore, we analyze the privacy performance of the proposed approach and track the privacy loss by accounting the log moments. Experiments show that even if the quantization bit is relatively small, our method can achieve model compression without reducing the accuracy of the global model.","PeriodicalId":425118,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC)","volume":"13 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":"132544391","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}

Based on signal detection theory, we propose a two-step localization method to identify NLOS signals and estimate position after mitigating the influence of NLOS. Firstly, depending on the prior probabilities, the NLOS signals are identified by generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) test or Neyman-Pearson (NP) criterion. Moreover, the NLOS signals are mitigated based on identified measurement condition. Finally, selecting residual weighting algorithm (S-RWGH) is used to estimate the target position. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the localization accuracy. Average location error is below 15 m when the NLOS rate is below 62.5 % in the urban environment.","PeriodicalId":425118,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC)","volume":"17 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":"133825438","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}

In this paper, the most widely used fat-tree topology is considered, and a proximal adaptive VNE algorithm based on multi-dimensional load balancing is proposed. In this VNE algorithm, the bandwidth resource cost is reduced by proximal mapping, and the joint balancing of computation and communication loads is taken into account to achieve multi-dimension resource allocation balance.

Therefore, the centralized management architecture of the CBRS system cannot efficiently manage very large scale and large quantity of users, and may also suffer severe security and privacy issues.
