However, the on-board supportable resources of a single satellite are extremely limited and lack of interaction with others. In this paper, we design a network model with two-layered cache deployment, i.e., satellite layer and ground base station layer, and two types of sharing links, i.e., terrestrial-satellite sharing(TSS) links and inter-satellite sharing(ISS) links, to enhance the capability of cooperative delivery over STINs. Thus, we use rateless codes for the content divided-packet transmission, and derive the total energy efficiency(EE) in the whole transmission procedure, which is defined as the ratio of traffic offloading and energy consumption. We formulate two optimization problems about maximizing EE in different sharing scenarios(only TSS and TSS-ISS),and propose two optimized algorithms to obtain the optimal content placement matrixes, respectively.Simulation results demonstrate that, enabling sharing links with optimized cache placement have more than 2 times improvement of EE performance than other traditional placement schemes. Particularly, TSS-ISS schemes have the higher EE performance than only TSS schemes under the conditions of enough number of satellites and smaller inter-satellite distances.展开更多

To overcome the DoA estimation challenge without the prior information about signal sources number and multipath number in millimeter wave system,the multi-task deep residual shrinkage network(MTDRSN) and transfer learning-based convolutional neural network(TCNN), namely MDTCNet, are proposed. The sampling covariance matrix based on the received signal is used as the input to the proposed network. A DRSN-based multi-task classifications model is first introduced to estimate signal sources number and multipath number simultaneously. Then, the DoAs with multi-signal and multipath are estimated by the regression model. The proposed CNN is applied for DoAs estimation with the predicted number of signal sources and paths. Furthermore, the modelbased transfer learning is also introduced into the regression model. The TCNN inherits the partial network parameters of the already formed optimization model obtained by the CNN. A series of experimental results show that the MDTCNet-based DoAs estimation method can accurately predict the signal sources number and multipath number under a range of signal-to-noise ratios. Remarkably, the proposed method achieves the lower root mean square error compared with some existing deep learning-based and traditional methods.展开更多
