One of the important factor in reflecting communication risk is service route distribution. However, existing routing algorithms do not take into account the degree of importance of services, thereby leading to load unbalancing and increasing the risks of services and networks. A routing optimization mechanism based on load balancing for power communication networks is proposed to address the abovementioned problems. First, the mechanism constructs an evaluation model to evaluate the service and network risk degree using combination of devices, service load, and service characteristics. Second, service weights are determined with modified relative entropy TOPSIS method, and a balanced service routing determination algorithm is proposed. Results of simulations on practical network topology show that the mechanism can optimize the network risk degree and load balancing degree efficiently.展开更多

We propose an efficient time scheduling scheme for network performance enhancement, based on which each sensor can always harvest energy from the PB over the entire block except its time slots allocated for passive and active information delivery. Considering the PB and wireless sensors are from two selfish service providers, we use the Stackelberg game to model the energy interaction among them. To address the non-convexity of the leader-level problem, we propose to decompose the original problem into two subproblems and solve them iteratively in an alternating manner. Specifically, the successive convex approximation, semi-definite relaxation(SDR) and variable substitution techniques are applied to find a nearoptimal solution. To evaluate the performance loss caused by the interaction between two providers, we further investigate the social welfare maximization problem. Numerical results demonstrate that compared to the benchmark schemes, the proposed scheme can achieve up to 35.4% and 38.7% utility gain for the leader and the follower, respectively.展开更多

文摘Visible light communication(VLC),which is a prominent emerging solution that complements the radio frequency(RF)technology,exhibits the potential to meet the demands of fifth-generation(5G)and beyond technologies.The random movement of mobile terminals in the indoor environment is a challenge in the VLC system.The model of optical attocells has a critical role in the uniform distribution and the quality of communication links in terms of received power and signal-to-noise ratio(SNR).As such,the optical attocells positions were optimized in this study with a developed try and error(TE)algorithm.The optimized optical attocells were examined and compared with previous models.This novel approach had successfully increased minimum received power from−1.29 to−0.225 dBm,along with enhanced SNR performance by 2.06 dB.The bit error rate(BER)was reduced to 4.42×10−8 and 6.63×10−14 by utilizing OOK-NRZ and BPSK modulation techniques,respectively.The optimized attocells positions displayed better uniform distribution,as both received power and SNR performances improved by 0.45 and 0.026,respectively.As the results of the proposed model are optimal,it is suitable for standard office and room model applications.

文摘This paper investigates a power control problem in a jamming system,where a separate smart jammer is deployed to ensure the communication security of the legal user.However,due to power leakage,the smart jammer may incur unintentional interference to legal users.The key is how to suppress illegal communication while limit the negative impact on legal user.A jamming counter measure Stackelberg game is formulated to model the jamming power control dynamic of the system.The smart jammer acts as a leader to sense and interfere illegal communications of the illegal user,while the illegal user acts as a follower.In the game,the impact of uncertain channel information is taken into account.According to whether illegal user considers the uncertain channel information,we investigate two scenarios,namely,illegal user can obtain statistical distribution and accurate information of interference channel gain and its own cost,respectively.This work not only proposes a jamming counter measure iterative algorithm to update parameters,but also gives two solutions to obtain the Stackelberg equilibrium(SE).The power convergence behaviours under two scenarios are analyzed and compared.Additionally,brute force is used to verify the accuracy of the SE value further.
文摘Vehicular communications have recently attracted great interest due to their potential to improve the intelligence of the transportation system.When maintaining the high reliability and low latency in the vehicle-to-vehicle(V2V)links as well as large capacity in the vehicle-to-infrastructure(V2I)links,it is essential to flexibility allocate the radio resource to satisfy the different requirements in the V2V communication.This paper proposes a new radio resources allocation system for V2V communications based on the proximal strategy optimization method.In this radio resources allocation framework,a vehicle or V2V link that is designed as an agent.And through interacting with the environment,it can learn the optimal policy based on the strategy gradient and make the decision to select the optimal sub-band and the transmitted power level.Because the proposed method can output continuous actions and multi-dimensional actions,it greatly reduces the implementation complexity of large-scale communication scenarios.The simulation results indicate that the allocation method proposed in this paper can meet the latency constraints and the requested capacity of V2V links under the premise of minimizing the interference to vehicle-to-infrastructure communications.

文摘Traditional magnetically coupled resonant wireless power transfer technology uses fixed distances between coils for research,to prevent fluctuations in the receiving voltage,and lead to reduce transmission efficiency.This paper proposes a closed-loop control wireless communication wireless power transfer system with a wearable four-coil structure to stabilize the receiving voltage fluctuation caused by changes in the displacement between the coils.Test results show that the system can provide stable receiving voltage,no matter how the distance between the transmitting coil and the receiving coil is changed.When the transmission distance is 20 mm,the power transfer efficiency of the system can reach 18.5%under the open-loop state,and the stimulus parameters such as the stimulation period and pulse width can be adjusted in real time through the personal computer terminal.

文摘It is essential to maximize capacity while satisfying the transmission time delay of unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)swarm communication system.In order to address this challenge,a dynamic decentralized optimization mechanism is presented for the realization of joint spectrum and power(JSAP)resource allocation based on deep Q-learning networks(DQNs).Each UAV to UAV(U2U)link is regarded as an agent that is capable of identifying the optimal spectrum and power to communicate with one another.The convolutional neural network,target network,and experience replay are adopted while training.The findings of the simulation indicate that the proposed method has the potential to improve both communication capacity and probability of successful data transmission when compared with random centralized assignment and multichannel access methods.
文摘In the recent past power line communication has emerged as an attractive choice for high speed data transfer and is looked upon as inexpensive and reliable media suitable for broadband internet access, home and office automation, in-vehicle data communication etc. In this paper we present an architecture for the physical layer of a PLC transceiver based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and the impact on multipath distortion for PLC transmission in terms of bit error rate. Since there is no standard PLC channel model available, a widely accepted multipath channel model is used for simulation purpose. Simulation results as well as FPGA synthesis verify the effectiveness of the proposed architecture for PLC modem design at 110 Mbps data rate.

文摘This paper investigates a wireless powered and backscattering enabled sensor network based on the non-linear energy harvesting model, where the power beacon(PB) delivers energy signals to wireless sensors to enable their passive backscattering and active transmission to the access point(AP). We propose an efficient time scheduling scheme for network performance enhancement, based on which each sensor can always harvest energy from the PB over the entire block except its time slots allocated for passive and active information delivery. Considering the PB and wireless sensors are from two selfish service providers, we use the Stackelberg game to model the energy interaction among them. To address the non-convexity of the leader-level problem, we propose to decompose the original problem into two subproblems and solve them iteratively in an alternating manner. Specifically, the successive convex approximation, semi-definite relaxation(SDR) and variable substitution techniques are applied to find a nearoptimal solution. To evaluate the performance loss caused by the interaction between two providers, we further investigate the social welfare maximization problem. Numerical results demonstrate that compared to the benchmark schemes, the proposed scheme can achieve up to 35.4% and 38.7% utility gain for the leader and the follower, respectively.

文摘In this paper,a beamforming scheme to improve the coverage in high-speed railway communication systems is investigated.A dedicated coverage model,where the coverage cell is an ellipse rather than the traditional circular or linear,is considered.Based on the elliptical coverage cell,an optimization problem for the beamforming design is formulated to maximize the percentage of railway coverage,subject to the constraints on equal expected designed propagation gain(the gain obtained by a combination of designed beam and propagation channel)on the elliptical curve,i.e.,the expectation of designed propagation gain on the elliptical curve are all equal.Considering that the coverage can be improved by increasing the minimum designed propagation gain on the railway,the problem can be recast to maximizing the equal expected designed propagation gain on the elliptical curve.Subsequently,a beamforming design with an improved β-fairness power allocation,where the optimization problem is formulated to maximize the minimum expected received power over time with the constraints on elliptical cell based beamforming and mobile service amount,is proposed to further improve the coverage.An alternating iteration algorithm is developed to find the optimal beamforming vector and the instantaneous transmit power.Through numerical results,it is found that the beamforming designed on the elliptical curve covers longer railway than beamforming designed on the railway directly,and the coverage of elliptical cell based beamforming can be increased with the eccentricity.In addition,beamforming with the improvedβ-fairness power allocation can further improve the railway coverage and mobile service amount simultaneously.Moreover,it is shown that the larger eccentricity of the ellipse with appropriately chosen BS location,the larger coverage distance.
文摘A novel dual-band and diverse radiation pattern antenna is proposed for power efficient on-body and off-body communications intended for various applications in healthcare and sport monitoring. The antenna is dual band at 2.45 GHz (ISM band) with omnidirectional radiation pattern over the body surface to communicate power efficiently with other co-located body worn devices and at 1.9 GHz (PCS band), it has directive radiation pattern towards off the body to communicate from on-body device to off-body devices. The free space and on-body performances of the antenna are investigated by both simulation and experiment. The antenna shows very good on-body radiation efficiency of 58% at 2.45 GHz and 61% at 1.9 GHz. Good on-body gain is noticed at both frequency bands. Results show that the gain of the proposed antenna increases by 4.7% at 2.45 GHz and 3.2% at 1.9 GHz when placed on the body.

文摘Device-to-Device(D2D)communication is a promising technology that can reduce the burden on cellular networks while increasing network capacity.In this paper,we focus on the channel resource allocation and power control to improve the system resource utilization and network throughput.Firstly,we treat each D2D pair as an independent agent.Each agent makes decisions based on the local channel states information observed by itself.The multi-agent Reinforcement Learning(RL)algorithm is proposed for our multi-user system.We assume that the D2D pair do not possess any information on the availability and quality of the resource block to be selected,so the problem is modeled as a stochastic non-cooperative game.Hence,each agent becomes a player and they make decisions together to achieve global optimization.Thereby,the multi-agent Q-learning algorithm based on game theory is established.Secondly,in order to accelerate the convergence rate of multi-agent Q-learning,we consider a power allocation strategy based on Fuzzy C-means(FCM)algorithm.The strategy firstly groups the D2D users by FCM,and treats each group as an agent,and then performs multi-agent Q-learning algorithm to determine the power for each group of D2D users.The simulation results show that the Q-learning algorithm based on multi-agent can improve the throughput of the system.In particular,FCM can greatly speed up the convergence of the multi-agent Q-learning algorithm while improving system throughput.

文摘Secret key generation(SKG)is an emerging technology to secure wireless communication from attackers.Therefore,the SKG at the physical layer is an alternate solution over traditional cryptographic methods due to wireless channels’uncertainty.However,the physical layer secret key generation(PHY-SKG)depends on two fundamental parameters,i.e.,coherence time and power allocation.The coherence time for PHY-SKG is not applicable to secure wireless channels.This is because coherence time is for a certain period of time.Thus,legitimate users generate the secret keys(SKs)with a shorter key length in size.Hence,an attacker can quickly get information about the SKs.Consequently,the attacker can easily get valuable information from authentic users.Therefore,we considered the scheme of power allocation to enhance the secret key generation rate(SKGR)between legitimate users.Hence,we propose an alternative method,i.e.,a power allocation,to improve the SKGR.Our results show 72%higher SKGR in bits/sec by increasing power transmission.In addition,the power transmission is based on two important parameters,i.e.,epsilon and power loss factor,as given in power transmission equations.We found out that a higher value of epsilon impacts power transmission and subsequently impacts the SKGR.The SKGR is approximately 40.7%greater at 250 from 50 mW at epsilon=1.The value of SKGR is reduced to 18.5%at 250 mW when epsilonis 0.5.Furthermore,the transmission power is also measured against the different power loss factor values,i.e.,3.5,3,and 2.5,respectively,at epsilon=0.5.Hence,it is concluded that the value of epsilon and power loss factor impacts power transmission and,consequently,impacts the SKGR.
