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
Under-actuated back-stepping: An introduction
The stabilization problem for a class of underactuated systems is solved. This is achieved via a novel backstepping based method that we call under-actuated backstepping. The method is developed for linear under-actuated systems first and then extended to nonlinear systems via an example. Numerical simulations are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed under-actuated back-stepping method
Shared-control for fully actuated linear mechanical systems
This paper presents a shared-control algorithm for fully actuated, linear, mechanical systems. It is assumed that the position of the mechanical system is constrained by a set of linear inequalities. These model convex and with the addition of “logical variables” non-convex feasible sets. The shared-control action is implemented using an hysteresis-based switching strategy. Formal properties of the algorithm are established using a partial Lyapunov analysis. Simulation results on simple case studies illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm
Shared-control for a UAV operating in the 3D space
This paper presents a shared-control scheme for a UAV moving in a 3D space while its feasible Cartesian position set is defined by a group of linear inequalities. A hysteresis switch is used to combine the human input and the feedback control input based on the definitions of a safe set, a hysteresis set and a “dangerous” set. Case studies given in the paper show the effectiveness of the shared-control algorithm

Simple numerical examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the shared-control law
