Deep reinforcement learning to enhance the energy-efficient performance of UAV-enabled F-RAN by Haibo MEI, Kun YANG, Xinyu FAN

“…Fog radio access network (F-RAN) is suitable for Internet of things applications of national important industries, such as pipeline network monitoring in wide area.However, the performance of the F-RAN based on the territorial fog access point will be affected greatly by the complicated territorial environment.This causes F-RAN not able to provide fog access service in a timely and effectively manner.To this problem, the research was proposed to utilize low altitude UAV as the fog access point to realize air ground edge communication and fog computing, which has attracted enormous research interests.How to use deep reinforcement learning (DRL) to improve the energy efficiency of UAV fog access point and extend the mission time of UAV were discussed.Deep reinforcement learning can ensure the UAV fog access point to adjust the configuration strategy timely of air ground communication and computing, including resource optimization, dynamic task offloading and caching.DRL can also optimize the UAV trajectory in 3-D space, and improve the overall performance of UAV enabled fog access network.The innovation of the research lies in the comprehensive discussion of the main optimization problems to be solved in the UAV-enabled F-RAN using DRL.The technical details were also summarized to solve the related optimization problems.Finally, the technical challenges and future research directions of the application of DRL in the UAV-enabled F-RAN were discussed.…”

Literary seduction: Minds, bodies and non-textual phenomena by Michael BURKE

“…Deliberations into what makes a literary text persuasive, what seduces readers to continue reading once the act of reading started, is often a combination of (a) what is written (the themes), (b) the order and manner in which the events of the story are presented (the narrative structure and how the text is filtered, and (c) how a story is written (the style and rhetoric of the text). …”

Design and Application of Water Conservancy Model Management Service Platform by TIAN Maochun, ZOU Xianyong, YANG Yue, HE Qilian

“…The current water conservancy model cannot realize unified access and use,and the computing efficiency of multiple users,models,and schemes is low.In addition,the ability of sharing applications deeply bound with the system is weak.Therefore,the model fails to meet the requirements of intelligent water conservancy and digital twin watershed construction.In view of this,this paper designs a water conservancy model management service platform and applies it to practice.First,different types of water conservancy models are integrated,and their service interfaces are standardized,so as to uniformly receive model calculation service parameters and data in different formats and then convert them into required formats through platform adaptation,which avoids the problem of difficult unified invocation caused by differences in the interfaces of each model.Second,model computing resources are deployed and managed in a unified manner,and model calculation requests are distributed to different servers for calculation through task scheduling,so as to improve the resource utilization rate and reduce calculation time.Finally,a water conservancy model management service platform is developed,which integrates model management,model service,and model assembly functions,so as to provide the application system with model computing service.The application of multiple projects shows that the platform can integrate and share the resources of water conservancy models,give full play to the smart function,and provide support for the construction of intelligent water conservancy and digital twin watersheds.…”
