    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

    A Robust Cooperative Modulation Classification Scheme with Intra sensor Fusion for the Time correlated Flat Fading Channels

    Networks with distributed sensors, e.g. cognitive radio networks or wireless sensor networks enable large-scale deployments of cooperative automatic modulation classification (AMC). Existing cooperative AMC schemes with centralised fusion offer considerable performance increase in comparison to single sensor reception. Previous studies were generally focused on AMC scenarios in which multipath channel is assumed to be static during a signal reception. However, in practical mobile environments, time-correlated multipath channels occur, which induce large negative influence on the existing cooperative AMC solutions. In this paper, we propose two novel cooperative AMC schemes with the additional intra-sensor fusion, and show that these offer significant performance improvements over the existing ones under given conditions

    Intelligent signal classification in industrial distributed wireless sensor networks-based IIoT

    In industrial sensor networks, complex industrial environments may be encountered leading to a mix of signals of different types. Complicated interference caused by mixed signals on industrial equipments may significantly degrade the classification rate of signals, which may result in a long training time in order to extract features. In addition, with limited channel resources, it is difficult to make the global optimal decision in industrial distributed wireless sensor networks (IDWSN). To address this problem, a signal classification method using feature fusion is proposed for industrial Internet of things (IIoT) in this paper. In the proposed method, the received signals of nodes are processed by frequency reduction and sampling pretreatment, based on which intelligent representations of signals are obtained. Using federated learning, the data samples are trained with the feature fusion network. Moreover, the trained deep learning network is used on each sensor node to classify signals, the results of which will be transmitted to aggregation center. In the aggregation center, the improved evidence theory method is used to aggregate the recognition results of each sensor node to achieve the final classification. Simulation shows that the proposed method has excellent classification performances. Notably, it is not required for the proposed method to transmit signals from nodes to the aggregation center, which could effectively protect the privacy of industrial information
