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
Recent Advances in Joint Wireless Energy and Information Transfer
In this paper, we provide an overview of the recent advances in
microwave-enabled wireless energy transfer (WET) technologies and their
applications in wireless communications. Specifically, we divide our
discussions into three parts. First, we introduce the state-of-the-art WET
technologies and the signal processing techniques to maximize the energy
transfer efficiency. Then, we discuss an interesting paradigm named
simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT), where energy and
information are jointly transmitted using the same radio waveform. At last, we
review the recent progress in wireless powered communication networks (WPCN),
where wireless devices communicate using the power harvested by means of WET.
Extensions and future directions are also discussed in each of these areas.Comment: Conference submission accepted by ITW 201
Relay selection methods for maximizing the lifetime of wireless sensor networks
Combined analytical and fuzzy techniques are proposed for improving the battery lifetime, performance, as well as energy efficiency of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) with the aid of efficient relay selection methods. We determine the best relay selection method by striking an appealing performance versus network lifetime trade-off. Furthermore, the beneficial regions of cooperation are determined considering asymmetric traffic scenarios, where relaying provides energy saving
A Pragmatic Analysis on Diversified Aspects of Security and Integrity in Wireless Sensor Networks
Wireless networks are susceptible and prone to assorted attacks at different layers from multiple sources and therefore it is required to understand the mechanism as well as taxonomy of attacks. By this perspective, there is need to investigate the network level attacks, their impact and remedial measures so that the overall scenario can be made secured. The nodes in wireless environment are affected adversely by number of attacks focusing of the resources used by the nodes participating in the communication. These network nodes are generally associated with the assorted functional aspects including battery or energy, power, log of neighboring nodes, cache and number of services. In a network attack, the malicious node or packet attempts to temporarily or permanently halt these parameters so that the authentic and realistic communication can be damaged. A number of algorithmic solutions work against assorted attacks but there is huge scope of research in this segment. This manuscript underlines the attacks on wireless networks with their related dimensions so that the effectual algorithm can be developed for overall security and integrity
A Survey on WSN and MCN Convergence Networks, Journal of Telecommunications and Information Technology, 2020, nr 1
In this paper, we present a survey concerned with research focusing on the convergence of wireless sensor networks (WSN) and mobile cellular networks (MCN). The convergence of WSNs and MCNs may be a trigger stimulating new research dealing with such issues as architecture, protocols and air interfaces. The highlights and constraints of the phenomenon are discussed in this paper as well. The survey deals with convergence networks and with their smarty city applications. A few open research issues are also brought to the attention of researchers specializing in this fiel
