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
Recurrent Neural Networks For Accurate RSSI Indoor Localization
This paper proposes recurrent neuron networks (RNNs) for a fingerprinting
indoor localization using WiFi. Instead of locating user's position one at a
time as in the cases of conventional algorithms, our RNN solution aims at
trajectory positioning and takes into account the relation among the received
signal strength indicator (RSSI) measurements in a trajectory. Furthermore, a
weighted average filter is proposed for both input RSSI data and sequential
output locations to enhance the accuracy among the temporal fluctuations of
RSSI. The results using different types of RNN including vanilla RNN, long
short-term memory (LSTM), gated recurrent unit (GRU) and bidirectional LSTM
(BiLSTM) are presented. On-site experiments demonstrate that the proposed
structure achieves an average localization error of m with of the
errors under m, which outperforms the conventional KNN algorithms and
probabilistic algorithms by approximately under the same test
environment.Comment: Received signal strength indicator (RSSI), WiFi indoor localization,

A survey of deep learning approaches for WiFi-based indoor positioning
One of the most popular approaches for indoor positioning is WiFi fingerprinting, which has been intrinsically tackled as a traditional machine learning problem since the beginning, to achieve a few metres of accuracy on average. In recent years, deep learning has emerged as an alternative approach, with a large number of publications reporting sub-metre positioning accuracy. Therefore, this survey presents a timely, comprehensive review of the most interesting deep learning methods being used for WiFi fingerprinting. In doing so, we aim to identify the most efficient neural networks, under a variety of positioning evaluation metrics for different readers. We will demonstrate that despite the new emerging WiFi signal measures (i.e. CSI and RTT), RSS produces competitive performances under deep learning. We will also show that simple neural networks outperform more complex ones in certain environments
Gaussian Processes with Context-Supported Priors for Active Object Localization
We devise an algorithm using a Bayesian optimization framework in conjunction
with contextual visual data for the efficient localization of objects in still
images. Recent research has demonstrated substantial progress in object
localization and related tasks for computer vision. However, many current
state-of-the-art object localization procedures still suffer from inaccuracy
and inefficiency, in addition to failing to provide a principled and
interpretable system amenable to high-level vision tasks. We address these
issues with the current research.
Our method encompasses an active search procedure that uses contextual data
to generate initial bounding-box proposals for a target object. We train a
convolutional neural network to approximate an offset distance from the target
object. Next, we use a Gaussian Process to model this offset response signal
over the search space of the target. We then employ a Bayesian active search
for accurate localization of the target.
In experiments, we compare our approach to a state-of-theart bounding-box
regression method for a challenging pedestrian localization task. Our method
exhibits a substantial improvement over this baseline regression method.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figure
RSS-based wireless LAN indoor localization and tracking using deep architectures
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) positioning is a challenging task indoors due to environmental constraints and the unpredictable behavior of signal propagation, even at a fixed location. The aim of this work is to develop deep learning-based approaches for indoor localization and tracking by utilizing Received Signal Strength (RSS). The study proposes Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), One and Two Dimensional Convolutional Neural Networks (1D CNN and 2D CNN), and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) deep networks architectures for WLAN indoor positioning based on the data obtained by actual RSS measurements from an existing WLAN infrastructure in a mobile user scenario. The results, using different types of deep architectures including MLP, CNNs, and LSTMs with existing WLAN algorithms, are presented. The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) is used as the assessment criterion. The proposed LSTM Model 2 achieved a dynamic positioning RMSE error of 1.73 m, which outperforms probabilistic WLAN algorithms such as Memoryless Positioning (RMSE: 10.35 m) and Nonparametric Information (NI) filter with variable acceleration (RMSE: 5.2 m) under the same experiment environment.ECSEL Joint Undertaking ; European Union's H2020 Framework Programme (H2020/2014-2020) Grant ; National Authority TUBITA
Machine Learning Tools for Radio Map Estimation in Fading-Impaired Channels
In spectrum cartography, also known as radio map estimation, one constructs maps that provide the value of a given channel metric such as as the received power, power spectral density (PSD), electromagnetic absorption, or channel-gain for every spatial location in the geographic area of interest. The main idea is to deploy sensors and measure the target channel metric at a set of locations and interpolate or extrapolate the measurements. Radio maps nd a myriad of applications in wireless communications such as network planning, interference coordination, power control, spectrum management, resource allocation, handoff optimization, dynamic spectrum access, and cognitive radio. More recently, radio maps have been widely recognized as an enabling technology for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communications because they allow autonomous UAVs to account for communication constraints when planning a mission. Additional use cases include radio tomography and source localization.publishedVersio
