Communication-Censored Distributed Learning for Stochastic Configuration Networks

This paper aims to reduce the communication cost of the distributed learning algorithm for stochastic configuration networks (SCNs), in which information exchange between the learning agents is conducted only at a trigger time. For this purpose, we propose the communication-censored distributed learning algorithm for SCN, namely ADMMM-SCN-ET, by introducing the event-triggered communication mechanism to the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). To avoid unnecessary information transmissions, each learning agent is equipped with a trigger function. Only if the event-trigger error exceeds a specified threshold and meets the trigger condition, the agent will transmit the variable information to its neighbors and update its state in time. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce the communication cost for training decentralized SCNs and save communication resources.

Stochastic Accelerated Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers for Hedging Communication Noise in Combined Heat and Power Dispatch

Combined heat and power dispatch(CHPD)opens a new window for increasing operational flexibility and reducing wind power curtailment.Electric power and district heating systems are independently controlled by different system operators;therefore,a decentralized solution paradigm is necessary for CHPD,in which only minor boundary information is required to be exchanged via a communication network.However,a nonideal communication environment with noise could lead to divergence or incorrect solutions of decentralized algorithms.To bridge this gap,this paper proposes a stochastic accelerated alternating direction method of multipliers(SA-ADMM)for hedging communication noise in CHPD.This algorithm provides a general framework to address more types of constraint sets and separable objective functions than the existing stochastic ADMM.Different from the single noise sources considered in the existing stochastic approximation methods,communication noise from multiple sources is addressed in both the local calculation and the variable update stages.Case studies of two test systems validate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed SAADMM.

Hybrid Segment Approximate Multiplication for Image Processing Applications

It is critical in terms of approximate computation errors in VLSI multiplier circuits are increasing with technology scaling. The most common method for fast and energy efficient execution of multiplication result is approximation of operands. But this traditional approximate result is not suitable for image processing applications. This paper proposes the two architectures of high accurate hybrid segment approximate multiplier (HSAM) and enhanced HSAM for image compression. Existing static segment method based approximate multiplier is not suitable for certain accurate applications and dynamic segment method based approximate multiplier is not suitable for cost efficient applications. The proposed work combines the advantages of both static segment method and dynamic segment method to drive the efficiency in accuracy and cost. The proposed approximate multipliers HSAM8 × 8 and EHSAM8 × 8 provide 99.85% and 99.999% accuracy respectively for various inputs. The proposed HSAM consumes less energy with small increase of area overhead. The proposed EHSAM consumes less energy without any area overhead. The proposed HSAM and EHSAM is improved the speed by 40% and 85% compared to the existing SSM8 × 8 technique.

Relaxed Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers for Hedging Communication Packet Loss in Integrated Electrical and Heating System

Integrated electrical and heating systems(IEHSs)are promising for increasing the flexibility of power systems by exploiting the heat energy storage of pipelines.With the recent development of advanced communication technology,distributed optimization is employed in the coordination of IEHSs to meet the practical requirement of information privacy between different system operators.Existing studies on distributed optimization algorithms for IEHSs have seldom addressed packet loss during the process of information exchange.In this paper,a distributed paradigm is proposed for coordinating the operation of an IEHS considering communication packet loss.The relaxed alternating direction method of multipliers(R-ADMM)is derived by applying Peaceman-Rachford splitting to the Lagrangian dual of the primal problem.The proposed method is tested using several test systems in a lossy communication and transmission environment.Simulation results indicate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed R-ADMM algorithm.

Decentralized State Estimation of Combined Heat and Power System Considering Communication Packet Loss

In order to obtain an accurate state estimation of the operation in the combined heat and power system,it is necessary to carry out state estimation.Due to the limited information sharing among various energy systems,it is practical to perform state estimation in a decentralized manner.However,the possible communication packet loss is seldomly considered among various energy systems.This paper bridges this gap by proposing a relaxed alternating direction method of multiplier algorithm.It can also improve the computation efficiency compared with the conventional alternating direction of the multiplier algorithm.Case studies of two test systems are carried out to show the validity and superiority of the proposed algorithm.

Design of Low Power and High Speed Correlators for IEEE 802.16 WiMAX Systems

The advanced communication system uses wireless broadband access technologies which provide high speed data connectivity to the subscribers. One of the most popular wireless access technology is Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) and it is based on IEEE 802.16 standard. WiMAX used Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is an effective modulation technique to improve the timing synchronization. The performance of channel is affected due to the synchronization mismatching between the transmitter and receiver ends. To achieve the timing synchronization in IEEE 802.16 systems, the cross correlator is used to synchronize the received signal with the known signal. In this paper, two high speed correlators are proposed based on Q1.15 format, which is used to validate the timing synchronization problem. The proposed work has been mapped on XC6VCX75T FPGA and simulations are carried out on the Xilinx-ISIM platform. The implementation result shows that the power delay product reduction is 40.81%, and delay reduction is 39.59% over the conventional multiplier less correlators.

Finding the superior mode basis for mode-division multiplexing:a comparison of spatial modes in air-core fiber

Diverse spatial mode bases can be exploited in mode-division multiplexing(MDM)to sustain the capacity growth in fiber-optic communications,such as linearly polarized(LP)modes,vector modes,LP orbital angular momentum(LP-OAM)modes,and circularly polarized OAM(CP-OAM)modes.Nevertheless,which kind of mode bases is more appropriate to be utilized in fiber still remains unclear.Here,we aim to find the superior mode basis in MDM fiber-optic communications via a system-level comparison in air-core fiber(ACF).We first investigate the walk-off effect of four spatial mode bases over 1-km ACF,where LP and LP-OAM modes show intrinsic mode walk-off,while it is negligible for vector and CP-OAM modes.We then study the mode coupling effect of degenerate vector and CP-OAM modes over 1-km ACF under fiber perturbations,where degenerate even and odd vector modes suffer severe mode cross talk,while negligible for highorder degenerate CP-OAM modes based on the laws of angular momentum conservation.Moreover,we comprehensively evaluate the system-level performance for data-carrying single-channel and two-channel MDM transmission with different spatial mode bases under various kinds of fiber perturbations(bending,twisting,pressing,winding,and out-of-plane moving).The obtained results indicate that the CP-OAM mode basis shows superiority compared to other mode bases in MDM fiber-optic communications without using multiple-input multiple-output digital signal processing.Our findings may pave the way for robust shortreach MDM optical interconnects for data centers and high-performance computing.

Direct fiber vector eigenmode multiplexing transmission seeded by integrated optical vortex emitters

Spatial modes have received substantial attention over the last decades and are used in optical communication applications.In fiber-optic communications,the employed linearly polarized modes and phase vortex modes carrying orbital angular momentum can be synthesized by fiber vector eigenmodes.To improve the transmission capacity and miniaturize the communication system,straightforward fiber vector eigenmode multiplexing and generation of fiber-eigenmode-like polarization vortices(vector vortex modes)using photonic integrated devices are of substantial interest.Here,we propose and demonstrate direct fiber vector eigenmode multiplexing transmission seeded by integrated optical vortex emitters.By exploiting vector vortex modes(radially and azimuthally polarized beams)generated from silicon microring resonators etched with angular gratings,we report data-carrying fiber vector eigenmode multiplexing transmission through a 2-km large-core fiber,showing low-level mode crosstalk and favorable link performance.These demonstrations may open up added capacity scaling opportunities by directly accessing multiple vector eigenmodes in the fiber and provide compact solutions to replace bulky diffractive optical elements for generating various optical vector beams.
