User-centric energy efficiency fairness in backscatter-assisted wireless powered communication network by Yinghui YE, Liqin SHI, Guangyue LU

“…In order to address the unfair user-centric energy efficiency (EE) problem caused by channel difference in the backscatter-assisted wireless powered communication network,a resource allocation scheme was proposed.Firstly,a mixed integer nonconvex fractional programming problem was formulated to maximize the minimum user-centric EE,subject to the quality of service and energy-causality constraints.Based on the generalized fractional programming theory,the original problem was transformed into a mixed integer nonconvex subtraction problem.With the aid of the slack variable,the proof by contradiction,the auxiliary variable and the mixed integer nonconvex subtraction problem were further transformed into an equivalent convex problem.Finally,an iterative algorithm was proposed to obtain the optimal solutions.Computer simulations validated the quick convergence of the proposed iterative algorithm,and that the developed resource allocation scheme efficiently guarantees the fairness among users in terms of EE.…”

“…To solve the problem of the weak spectrum-cognitive ability caused by monitoring angle, direction resolution, limited processing ability and peak power for a low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellite, a multi-satellite cooperative spectrum cognitive method integrating Stackelberg game and federated learning was proposed.Firstly, considering the available computing resource, cognitive performance, processing and transmission delay of each spectrum cognitive satellite, a cooperative-satellite selection and computing-resource allocation algorithm was built for multiple spectrum-cognitive tasks.Secondly, based on the selected satellites and the allocated computing resources, a low-complexity multi-satellite cooperative spectrum cognitive strategy was further designed, which could automatically sense the spectrum holes, and detect interference as well as identify the modulation mode.Simulation results demonstrate that compared to the single-node cognitive method, the designed multi-satellite cooperative spectrum cognitive strategy can obtain a better cognitive performance.Moreover, comparing with the existing model, the model utilized in the designed strategy can effectively achieve 96.69% and 93.32% lower number of parameters and required floating point operations per second, whilst maintaining the performance.…”

Intelligent scheduling mechanism of time-sensitive network modal in polymorphic network by Sijin YANG, Lei ZHUANG, Yu SONG, Jiaxing WANG, Xinyu YANG

“…For the problems of uncertain forwarding scheduling and long solving time of time-sensitive network modal in polymorphic network, a joint routing and scheduling mechanism of time-sensitive network modal based on CSQF was proposed.Considering the requirement of bounded delay, network state and different routing mechanisms, a hybrid resource scheduling problem of joint cache queue and routing was formulated to optimize the resource usage of the entire network.Then, the traffic characteristics and cache queue utilization was used to predict the cache utilization of the next cycle, which was based on deep reinforcement learning.In addition, by using multi-queue CSQF forwarding scheduling mechanism and explicit routing algorithm based on cache utilization, an iterative scheduling algorithm was proposed to achieve deterministic forwarding and resource allocation.Simulation results show that the mechanism can effectively adjust the transmission scheduling of deterministic applications according to the resource usage of the network, and has better schedulability compared with other off-line scheduling mechanisms.…”
