However, supplying stable power from solar power generation remains challenging because it is difficult to forecast power generation. Accurate prediction of solar power generation would allow effective control of the amount of electricity stored in batteries, leading in a stable supply of electricity. Although the number of power plants is increasing, building a solar power prediction model for a newly constructed power plant usually requires collecting a new training dataset for the new power plant, which takes time to collect a sufficient amount of data. This paper aims to develop a highly accurate solar power prediction model for multiple power plants available for both new and existing power plants. The proposed method trains the model on existing multiple power plants to generate a general prediction model, and then uses it for a new power plant while waiting for the data to be collected. In addition, the proposed method tunes the general prediction model on the newly collected dataset and improves the accuracy for the new power plant. We evaluated the proposed method on 55 power plants in Japan with the dataset collected for two and a half years. As a result, the pre-trained models of our proposed method significantly reduces theaverageRMSEofthebaselinemethodby73.19%. Thisindicatesthatthe modelcangeneralizeovermultiplepowerplants, andtrainingusingdatasets from other power plants is effective in reducing the RMSE.

We have proposed a chaos modulation method as one PLS method that o ff ers channel coding gain. One alternative is based on polar codes. They are robust error-correcting codes, have a nested structure in the encoder, and the application of this mechanism to PLS encryption (PLS-polar) has been actively studied. However, most conventional studies assume the application of conventional linear modulation such as BPSK, do not use encryption modulation, and the channel coding gain in the modulation is not achieved. In this paper, we propose a PLS-polar method that can realize high-quality transmission and encryption of a modulated signal by applying chaos modulation to a polar-coding system. Numerical results show that the proposed method improves the performance compared to the conventional PLS-polar method by 0.7dB at a block error rate of 10 − 5 . In addition, we show that the proposed method is superior to conventional chaos modulation concatenated with low-density parity-check codes, indicating that the polar code is more suitable for chaos modulation. Finally, it is demonstrated that the proposed method is secure in terms of information theoretical and computational security.","PeriodicalId":48825,"journal":{"name":"IEICE Transactions on Communications","volume":"37 1","pages":"374-383"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78412727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have proposed the concept of a new information platform, Geo-Centric Information Platform (GCIP), that enables IoT data fusion based on geolocation, i.e., produces spatio-temporal content (STC), and then provides the STC to users. In this environment, users cannot know in advance ”when,” ”where,” or ”what type” of STC is being generated because the type and timing of STC generation vary dynamically with the diversity of IoT data generated in each geographical area. This makes it difficult to directly search for a specific STC requested by the user using the content identifier (domain name of URI or content name). To solve this problem, a new content discovery method that does not directly specify content identifiers is needed while taking into account (1) spatial and (2) temporal constraints. In our previous study, we proposed a content discovery method that considers only spatial constraints and did not consider temporal constraints. This paper proposes a new content discovery method that matches user requests with content metadata (topic) characteristics while taking into account spatial and temporal constraints. Simulation results show that the proposed method successfully discovers appropriate STC in response to a user request.","PeriodicalId":48825,"journal":{"name":"IEICE Transactions on Communications","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135953568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, Non-terrestrial networks (NTN) introduce dynamic changes in the types of connected devices as base stations or access points are moving objects. Therefore, continuous network capacity design is required to fulfill the network requirements of each device. However, continuous optimization of network capacity design for each device within a short time span becomes difficult because of the heavy calculation amount. We introduce device types as groups of devices whose traffic characteristics resemble and optimize network capacity per device type for efficient network capacity design. This paper proposes a method to classify device types by analyzing only encrypted traffic behavior without using payload and packets of specific protocols. In the first stage, general device types, such as IoT and non-IoT, are classified by analyzing packet header statistics using machine learning. Then, in the second stage, connected devices classified as IoT in the first stage are classified into IoT device types, by analyzing a time series of traffic behavior using deep learning. We demonstrate that the proposed method classifies device types by analyzing traffic datasets and outperforms the existing IoT-only device classification methods in terms of the number of types and the accuracy. In addition, the proposed model performs comparable as a state-of-the-art model of traffic classification, ResNet 1D model. The proposed method is suitable to grasp device types in terms of traffic characteristics toward efficient network capacity design in networks where massive devices for various services are connected and the connected devices continuously change.","PeriodicalId":48825,"journal":{"name":"IEICE Transactions on Communications","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136374336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed approach feeds a soft input decoder with soft signals made from hard decision signals generated by using a lattice reduction-aided linear detector. The soft signal is a weighted-sum of some candidate vectors that are near by the hard decision signal coming out from the lattice reduction-aided linear detector. This paper proposes a technique to adjust the weight adapt to the channel for the higher transmission performance. Furthermore, we propose to introduce a coe ffi cient that is used for the weights in order to enhance the transmission performance. The transmission performance is evaluated in a 4 × 4 MIMO channel. When a linear MMSE filter or a serial interference canceller is used as the linear detector, the proposed technique achieves about 1 . 0dB better transmission performance at the BER of 10 − 5 than the decoder fed with the hard decision signals.
