Optimizing Subchannel Assignment and Power Allocation for Network Slicing in High-Density NOMA Networks: A Q-Learning Approach by Suhare Solaiman

“…In this study, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) network slicing is utilized to share radio resources among various services, thereby improving connectivity for large-scale device deployments. When these services exist in high-density NOMA environments characterized by high network congestion with radio resource sharing, the level of difficulty increases significantly. …”

Device-independent Wi-Fi fingerprinting indoor localization model based on domain adaptation by Zenghua ZHAO, Yuefan TONG, Jiayang CUI

“…In real-world large-scale deployments of indoor localization, Wi-Fi fingerprinting approaches suffer from device diversity problem which impacts the localization accuracy significantly.A device-independent Wi-Fi fingerprint indoor localization model DeviceTransfer was proposed.Based on the domain adaptation theory of deep learning, the device type of the smartphone was taken as the domain, the task-related and device-independent Wi-Fi data features were extracted through adversarial training, and the learned source domain location information was transferred to the target domain.Pre-training and joint training were employed to improve model training stability and to accelerate convergence.The performance of DeviceTransfer was evaluated using four types of smartphones in two real-world indoor environments: a school building and a shopping mall.The experimental results show that DeviceTransfer effectively extracts device-independent Wi-Fi fingerprint features.Using only one type of phone to collect Wi-Fi fingerprints, online localization using other types still achieves high localization accuracy, thus reducing localization cost significantly.…”
