Deep Learning-Based Decision Region for MIMO Detection
In this work, a deep learning-based symbol detection method is developed for multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. We demonstrate that the linear threshold-based detection methods, which were designed for AWGN channels, are suboptimal in the context of MIMO fading channels. Furthermore, we propose a MIMO detection framework which replaces the linear thresholds with decision boundaries trained with neural network (NN) classifiers. The symbol error rate (SER) performance of the proposed detection model is compared against conventional methods under state-of-the-art system parameters. Here, we report to up to a 2 dB gain in SER performance using the proposed NN classifiers, allowing for exploiting higher-order modulation schemes, or transmitting with reduced power. The underlying gain in performance may be further enhanced from improvements to the NN architecture and hyper-parameter optimization
Thirty Years of Machine Learning: The Road to Pareto-Optimal Wireless Networks
Future wireless networks have a substantial potential in terms of supporting
a broad range of complex compelling applications both in military and civilian
fields, where the users are able to enjoy high-rate, low-latency, low-cost and
reliable information services. Achieving this ambitious goal requires new radio
techniques for adaptive learning and intelligent decision making because of the
complex heterogeneous nature of the network structures and wireless services.
Machine learning (ML) algorithms have great success in supporting big data
analytics, efficient parameter estimation and interactive decision making.
Hence, in this article, we review the thirty-year history of ML by elaborating
on supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning and deep
learning. Furthermore, we investigate their employment in the compelling
applications of wireless networks, including heterogeneous networks (HetNets),
cognitive radios (CR), Internet of things (IoT), machine to machine networks
(M2M), and so on. This article aims for assisting the readers in clarifying the
motivation and methodology of the various ML algorithms, so as to invoke them
for hitherto unexplored services as well as scenarios of future wireless
networks.Comment: 46 pages, 22 fig
An Incremental Construction of Deep Neuro Fuzzy System for Continual Learning of Non-stationary Data Streams
Existing FNNs are mostly developed under a shallow network configuration
having lower generalization power than those of deep structures. This paper
proposes a novel self-organizing deep FNN, namely DEVFNN. Fuzzy rules can be
automatically extracted from data streams or removed if they play limited role
during their lifespan. The structure of the network can be deepened on demand
by stacking additional layers using a drift detection method which not only
detects the covariate drift, variations of input space, but also accurately
identifies the real drift, dynamic changes of both feature space and target
space. DEVFNN is developed under the stacked generalization principle via the
feature augmentation concept where a recently developed algorithm, namely
gClass, drives the hidden layer. It is equipped by an automatic feature
selection method which controls activation and deactivation of input attributes
to induce varying subsets of input features. A deep network simplification
procedure is put forward using the concept of hidden layer merging to prevent
uncontrollable growth of dimensionality of input space due to the nature of
feature augmentation approach in building a deep network structure. DEVFNN
works in the sample-wise fashion and is compatible for data stream
applications. The efficacy of DEVFNN has been thoroughly evaluated using seven
datasets with non-stationary properties under the prequential test-then-train
protocol. It has been compared with four popular continual learning algorithms
and its shallow counterpart where DEVFNN demonstrates improvement of
classification accuracy. Moreover, it is also shown that the concept drift
detection method is an effective tool to control the depth of network structure
while the hidden layer merging scenario is capable of simplifying the network
complexity of a deep network with negligible compromise of generalization
performance.Comment: This paper has been published in IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy System
Near-Instantaneously Adaptive HSDPA-Style OFDM Versus MC-CDMA Transceivers for WIFI, WIMAX, and Next-Generation Cellular Systems
Burts-by-burst (BbB) adaptive high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) style multicarrier systems are reviewed, identifying their most critical design aspects. These systems exhibit numerous attractive features, rendering them eminently eligible for employment in next-generation wireless systems. It is argued that BbB-adaptive or symbol-by-symbol adaptive orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) modems counteract the near instantaneous channel quality variations and hence attain an increased throughput or robustness in comparison to their fixed-mode counterparts. Although they act quite differently, various diversity techniques, such as Rake receivers and space-time block coding (STBC) are also capable of mitigating the channel quality variations in their effort to reduce the bit error ratio (BER), provided that the individual antenna elements experience independent fading. By contrast, in the presence of correlated fading imposed by shadowing or time-variant multiuser interference, the benefits of space-time coding erode and it is unrealistic to expect that a fixed-mode space-time coded system remains capable of maintaining a near-constant BER
