Hybrid precoding method for mmWave MIMO systems based on limited feedback by Ruonan YOU, Peng PAN, Dan ZHANG, Haiquan WANG

“…A hybrid precoding algorithm for millimeter wave (mmWave) MIMO systems without knowledge of channel state information at the transmitter was proposed based on the limited feedback.Specifically, the joint optimization problem of analog precoding and digital precoding was firstly separated into two independent optimization problems, which correspond to the analog precoding and digital precoding respectively.Based on this analog precoding codebook, the best precoding matrix was selected by analog precoding in the designed analog precoding codebook.Secondly, according to the obtained analog precoding matrix, the digital precoding matrix was obtained through the least square method, and then, the codeword closest to it in the random vector quantization codebook was selected as the feedback digital precoding matrix.Finally, the receiver feeds the index values of the analog and digital precoding matrices back to the transmitter.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve better balance between complexity and performance.…”

Survey on model inversion attack and defense in federated learning by Dong WANG, Qianqian QIN, Kaitian GUO, Rongke LIU, Weipeng YAN, Yizhi REN, Qingcai LUO, Yanzhao SHEN

“…As a distributed machine learning technology, federated learning can solve the problem of data islands.However, because machine learning models will unconsciously remember training data, model parameters and global models uploaded by participants will suffer various privacy attacks.A systematic summary of existing attack methods was conducted for model inversion attacks in privacy attacks.Firstly, the theoretical framework of model inversion attack was summarized and analyzed in detail.Then, existing attack methods from the perspective of threat models were summarized, analyzed and compared.Then, the defense strategies of different technology types were summarized and compared.Finally, the commonly used evaluation criteria and datasets were summarized for inversion attack of existing models, and the main challenges and future research directions were summarized for inversion attack of models.…”
