Study on multi-satellite cooperative spectrum cognitive method integrating Stackelberg game and federated learning by Xiaojin DING, Yehui XU, Wen BAO, Gengxin ZHANG

“…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.…”

Using random subcarrier weighting for multi-carrier systems physical layer security by Zhou ZHONG, Liang JIN, Kai-zhi HUANG

“…An OFDM security model and a physical layer security transmission scheme were proposed for multi-carrier systems to achieve low probability of interception.In contrast to the resource allocation algorithm which would be disabled at the low SNR,this method designed the subcarrier transmission weighting vectors to randomize the eavesdropper’s signals but not the authorized receiver’s signals.The channel state information was the only character to distinguish authorized receivers and eavesdroppers,which was conducted to guide the weighting vectors design.Simulation results show that the proposed method guarantees that authorized receiver performs transmitted reference demodulation successfully,while the eavesdroppers can not detect the transmitted symbols.…”

Joint optimization of edge computing and caching in NDN by Yu ZHANG, Min CHENG

“…Named data networking (NDN) is architecturally easier to integrate with edge computing as its routing is based on content names and its nodes have caching capabilities.Firstly, an integrated framework was proposed for implementing dynamic coordination of networking, computing and caching in NDN.Then, considering the variability of content popularity in different regions, a matrix factorization-based algorithm was proposed to predict local content popularity, and deep reinforcement learning was used to solve the the problem of joint optimization for computing and caching resource allocation and cache placement policy with the goal of maximizing system operating profit.Finally, the simulation environment was built in ndnSIM.The simulation results show that the proposed scheme has significant advantages in improving cache hit rate, reducing the average delay and the load on the remote servers.…”

Multiuser computation offloading for edge-cloud collaboration using submodular optimization by Bing LIANG, Wen JI

“…A computation offloading scheme based on edge-cloud computing was proposed to improve the system utility of multiuser computation offloading.This scheme improved the system utility while considering the optimization of edge-cloud resources.In order to tackle the problems of computation offloading mode selection and edge-cloud resource allocation,a greedy algorithm based on submodular theory was developed by fully exploiting the computing and communication resources of cloud and edge.The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme effectively reduces the delay and energy consumption of computing tasks.Additionally,when computing tasks are offloaded to edge and cloud from devices,the proposed scheme still maintains stable system utilities under ultra-limited resources.…”
