This article investigates a U-IRS-assisted data collection system in WSNs that employs the hover priority scheme. Given the energy constraints of UAV, the combined energy consumption from UAV moving/hovering and IRS reflecting elements configuration circuitry poses significant challenges to improving the system’s energy efficiency (EE). To address this challenge, we formulate a multiobjective optimization problem under the constraints of UAV and SN power budgets to make a tradeoff between EE and spectral efficiency. Due to the nonconvexity of the formulated problem, we divide the main problem into three subproblems: user association, the number of reflecting elements, and UAV trajectory optimization. An alternating optimization algorithm integrating the genetic algorithm, the CJ-BS-based cyclic iteration algorithm, Dinkelbach’s algorithm, and the successive convex approximation method is proposed to solve these subproblems. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed solution outperforms the UAV hovering directly above each SN scheme.","PeriodicalId":55017,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Systems Journal","volume":"19 3","pages":"963-974"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145290213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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 entire IPS comprises multiple dynamically coupled subsystems, each exchanging information with interconnected subsystems through the communication network. Local DMPC controllers are designed with robust constraints and load reference set-point constraints, where robust constraints limit the impact of tie-line power deviations and disturbances. To further alleviate the computational and communication burdens of subsystems, a distributed event-triggered mechanism is proposed, in which the threshold integrates the information of current subsystem state, disturbances, and tie-line power deviations between areas. By comparing this threshold with the deviation between the actual trajectory and the optimal prediction, the instants of optimization problem solving and information transmission are determined, effectively balancing control performance and resource utilization. Moreover, the theoretical conditions guaranteeing Zeno-free behavior, recursive feasibility, and closed-loop stability are analyzed. Finally, simulation results and analysis for a three-area IPS demonstrate that computational and communication burdens are significantly reduced while achieving a satisfactory LFC objective, which validates the effectiveness of the ET-DMPC strategy.","PeriodicalId":55017,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Systems Journal","volume":"19 3","pages":"983-994"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145290245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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, it is ensured that the sequence of triggering times does not exhibit Zeno behavior under given conditions. Remarkably, clustering naturally occurs in matrix-weighted networks, which reflects the important role of matrix coupling in the convergence process.

In reality, due to the poor infrastructure conditions on the battlefield, the communication services of the combat units are usually provided by the communication units with limited communication resources. Thus, figuring out an efficient method to share the scarce communication resources among massive combat units becomes crucial. However, it is challenging to efficiently construct the connection relationship and allocate communication resources to the operational units because of the differences in communication requirements and the randomness of location movement of combat units, i.e., unable to obtain battlefield environmental information in advance. In this article, we propose an online learning (OL)-based combat communication architecture construction method, which can estimate the current state of the battlefield environment by interacting with it and dynamically construct connection relationships and allocating communication resources according to the needs and locations of operational units, so as to maximize the QoE. The evaluation results demonstrate that our proposed OL-based approach is capable of constructing the combat communication architecture in a flexible and efficient manner, surpassing existing methods in terms of efficiency and fairness by significantly enhancing the total QoE up to twice as much compared to baseline methods.","PeriodicalId":55017,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Systems Journal","volume":"19 2","pages":"435-446"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144308404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, traditional methods primarily rely on exhaustive testing or random sampling and often assume that different contributing factors are independent. This results in the ineffective generation of boundary scenarios and a lack of realism. In this study, a novel high-dimensional dynamic characteristics-based boundary test scenario generation method is proposed using reinforcement learning (RL). Boundary test scenarios can be explored more purposive, by designing an appropriate reward function. First, an innovative scenario modeling method is developed to model the influence of environment, occlusion, and other interference. A joint distribution model of the key correlation factors, such as light intensity and clouds, is also established. This ensures scenario authenticity and test accuracy. Subsequently, a high-dimensional dynamic spatial Markov decision process (HDDS-MDP) model is constructed to facilitate the generation of boundary scenarios based on the scenario modeling. Ultimately, RL is employed to solve the HDDS-MDP model and generate boundary test scenario, thereby substantially improves the effectiveness of boundary test scenario generation. The simulation results indicate that the boundary test scenario generation effectiveness is improved by 91% over random sampling methods.","PeriodicalId":55017,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Systems Journal","volume":"19 2","pages":"553-564"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144308401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, the physical-layer security of an ARIS-NOMA system is investigated when the system is subject to eavesdropping by a malicious user in a user pair group. To provide real-world impact, we examine the main system performance metrics, including the connection outage probability, the secrecy outage probability (SOP), and the strictly positive secrecy capacity, which are important guidelines in evaluating the system's reliability, security, and achievable secrecy rates. We evaluate the impact of distances between the ARIS, the eavesdropper, and the base station on the SOP. We derive the optimal power allocation factors in the NOMA scheme, which provides insights into the system design and parameter adjustment to achieve robust and secure operation.

Initially, the complex vehicle dynamics system is simplified into a heterogeneous linear system interconnected through a communication graph. Subsequently, a distributed hybrid controller is deployed, specifically tailored for handling the intermittent sampled-data information, and is augmented with a dynamic noise generator. This framework restricts information exchange to a predefined neighborhood set of vehicles. To ensure differential privacy, design and incorporate random noise adhering to a Laplace distribution, where the decay index and control gain are adjustable parameters corresponding to the desired privacy level and system accuracy, respectively. This noise injection is guided by a differential privacy noise utilization algorithm. The controller design is then formulated and solved using a combination of the pole placement method and the generalized inverse concept, enabling effective networked control. Lastly, simulation examples are provided to rigorously validate the proposed theoretical framework, demonstrating its efficacy in maintaining platoon coherence while preserving the privacy of individual vehicle data.","PeriodicalId":55017,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Systems Journal","volume":"19 2","pages":"612-623"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144339021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
