Energy Efficient Spectrum Sensing for State Estimation over A Wireless Channel
The performance of remote estimation over wireless channel is strongly
affected by sensor data losses due to interference. Although the impact of
interference can be alleviated by performing spectrum sensing and then
transmitting only when the channel is clear, the introduction of spectrum
sensing also incurs extra energy expenditure. In this paper, we investigate the
problem of energy efficient spectrum sensing for state estimation of a general
linear dynamic system, and formulate an optimization problem which minimizes
the total sensor energy consumption while guaranteeing a desired level of
estimation performance. The optimal solution is evaluated through both
analytical and simulation results.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figures, accepted to IEEE GlobalSIP 201
Real-Time Misbehavior Detection in IEEE 802.11e Based WLANs
The Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) specification in the IEEE
802.11e standard supports heterogeneous backoff parameters and arbitration
inter-frame space (AIFS), which makes a selfish node easy to manipulate these
parameters and misbehave. In this case, the network-wide fairness cannot be
achieved any longer. Many existing misbehavior detectors, primarily designed
for legacy IEEE 802.11 networks, become inapplicable in such a heterogeneous
network configuration. In this paper, we propose a novel real-time hybrid-share
(HS) misbehavior detector for IEEE 802.11e based wireless local area networks
(WLANs). The detector keeps updating its state based on every successful
transmission and makes detection decisions by comparing its state with a
threshold. We develop mathematical analysis of the detector performance in
terms of both false positive rate and average detection rate. Numerical results
show that the proposed detector can effectively detect both contention window
based and AIFS based misbehavior with only a short detection window.Comment: Accepted to IEEE Globecom 201
Energy-Efficient Spectrum Sensing for Cognitive Radio Enabled Remote State Estimation Over Wireless Channels
The performance of remote estimation over wireless channels is strongly affected by sensor data losses due to interference. Although the impact of interference can be alleviated by applying cognitive radio technique which features in spectrum sensing and transmitting data only on clear channels, the introduction of spectrum sensing incurs extra energy expenditure. In this paper, we investigate the problem of energy-efficient spectrum sensing for remotely estimating the state of a general linear dynamic system, and formulate an optimization problem which minimizes the total sensor energy consumption while guaranteeing a desired level of estimation performance. We model the problem as a mixed integer nonlinear program and propose a simulated annealing based optimization algorithm which jointly addresses when to perform sensing, which channels to sense, in what order and how long to scan each channel. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm well balances the sensing energy and transmission energy expenditure and can achieve the desired estimation performance

Peripheral blood stem cell transplantation vs. bone marrow transplantation for aplastic anemia: a systematic review and meta-analysis
BackgroundHematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an effective treatment for aplastic anemia. Recently, peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) has gradually replaced traditional bone marrow transplantation (BMT). However, which graft source has a better therapeutic effect and prognosis for aplastic anemia (AA) remains unclear. Therefore, we conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis.MethodsWe systematically searched PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library without language limitations for studies using PBSCT or BMT for AA. Data were analyzed using the Open Meta-Analyst.ResultsWe identified 17 of 18,749 studies, including seven comparative reports and nine single-arm reports, with a total of 3,516 patients receiving HSCT (1,328 and 2,188 patients received PBSCT and BMT, respectively). The outcomes of the comparative studies showed similar 5-year overall survival [OS; relative risk (RR) = 0.867; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.747–1.006], similar transplant-related mortality (RR = 1.300; 95%CI, 0.790–2.138), graft failure rate (RR = 0.972; 95%CI, 0.689–1.372) between the PBSCT group and the BMT group, while the PBSCT group had a significantly higher incidence of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD; RR = 1.796; 95% CI, 1.571–2.053) and a higher incidence of grade IV acute GVHD (RR = 1.560; 95% CI, 1.341–1.816) compared to the BMT group. The outcomes of single-arm reports showed similar 3-year OS and incidences of chronic GVHD, acute II–IV GVHD, III–IV GVHD, transplant-related mortality and graft failure rate between PBSCT and BMT.ConclusionBefore 2010, PBSCT was not superior to BMT in terms of 5-year OS, transplant-related mortality and graft failure rate, but it exhibited a higher risk of both chronic and acute GVHD. After 2010, PBSCT and BMT showed similar 3-year OS, GVHD risks, transplant-related mortality and graft failure rate. PB grafts are more suitable for HSCT of the AA for convenience and pain relief.Systematic review registrationwww.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/, CRD42023412467
