Application Performance Monitoring (APM) is key for ensuring computer systems perform well. While most APM tools target servers and networking infrastructure, here we focus on APM for devices with strict resource constraints: extremely limited in terms of power, memory and bandwidth. We tailor this article to be both a survey and a tutorial. In the survey part, we investigate APM approaches for low-power wireless networks, with a particular focus on Time Synchronized Channel Hopping solutions, as they are well-suited for critical industrial applications. We survey performance metrics characterizing the network health condition and show how, to capture the health of a network universally, it is important to constantly monitor hardware-related, network-related and network-wide metrics. We present a collection of metrics that serves as a checklist for the design of an APM system, describe related work on APM concepts suitable for low-power wireless system, and provide core concepts for collecting, exporting and processing performance metrics. The tutorial part consists of a hands-on example of running commercial APM and networking solutions. We use the active APM framework from Memfault, which periodically creates heartbeats including the performance metrics. We run this framework on top of the SmartMesh IP protocol stack, a commercial product by Analog Devices that offers wired-like high reliability and a decade of battery lifetime, and integrate it with the Zephyr operating systems. This tutorial allows the readership to experiment with a complete ready-to-deploy mote-to-cloud APM chain.
应用性能监控(APM)是确保计算机系统良好运行的关键。虽然大多数 APM 工具都以服务器和网络基础设施为目标,但在这里,我们将重点关注具有严格资源限制的设备的 APM:在功率、内存和带宽方面极其有限。本文既是调查报告,也是教程。在调查部分,我们研究了低功耗无线网络的 APM 方法,尤其关注时间同步信道跳频解决方案,因为它们非常适合关键工业应用。我们对表征网络健康状况的性能指标进行了调查,并展示了要全面掌握网络的健康状况,必须持续监控硬件相关指标、网络相关指标和全网指标。我们介绍了作为 APM 系统设计清单的指标集,描述了适用于低功耗无线系统的 APM 概念的相关工作,并提供了收集、导出和处理性能指标的核心概念。教程部分包括一个运行商业 APM 和网络解决方案的实践示例。我们使用 Memfault 的主动 APM 框架,该框架会定期创建包括性能指标在内的心跳。我们在 SmartMesh IP 协议栈(模拟器件公司的商业产品,具有类似有线的高可靠性和十年的电池寿命)之上运行该框架,并将其与 Zephyr 操作系统相集成。通过本教程,读者可以尝试使用完整的可随时部署的 "车到云 "APM 链。

Reconfigurable intelligent Surface (RIS) can effectively improve the communication quality and extend the signal coverage range by reconfiguring the wireless communication transmission environment, which is very suitable for millimeter wave (mmWave) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. In this paper, a product manifold optimization-based beamforming design (PMO-BD) algorithm for a RIS-assisted multi-user MIMO system is proposed to enhance fairness among users. We establish a lower bound for the minimum signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) among users as the optimization objective, which is subjected to multiple constraints. By maximizing the lower bound to ensure the quality of service (QoS) for each user, fairness among users get improved. The PMO-BD algorithm exploits the internal structure of the product manifold to deal with the high dimension and nonlinear characteristics of the problem effectively, thereby reducing algorithm complexity and enhancing convergence rates. Simulation results verify the advantages of the proposed PMO-BD algorithm in comparison to other algorithms.

The communication performance can be restricted by inevitable training overhead for acquiring channel state information (CSI). A space–time code (STC)-based cooperative communication scheme is proposed to reduce the training overhead by employing a two-antenna relay node (RN) that broadcasts merely two orthogonal pilot sequences from the two antennas to a source node (SN) and a destination node (DN). The received signal-to-noise ratio, the achievable rate, and the bit error rate are mathematically analyzed, and numerical results confirm that the proposed STC-based relay system increases the achievable rate irrespective of the number of antennas at SN and DN.

Recent advances in communications technologies have paved the way for integrating communication and sensing functionalities into unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) networks by using reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS). In this paper, we propose a novel approach to maximize the sum rate of RIS-assisted UAV networks by using an integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) network in conjunction with deep reinforcement learning (DRL). The integration of UAVs with ISAC networks results in dynamic and unpredictable channel conditions, which reduces the effectiveness of traditional optimization techniques. To address this challenge, we develop a DRL-based sum-rate maximization algorithm that adaptively configures the beamforming matrix and RIS phase shifts to optimize the communication performance while achieving the signal-to-noise ratio required for sensing. Our simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms the existing methods in terms of sum rate while accommodating the dynamic nature of the ISAC-UAV network.
通信技术的最新进展为利用可重构智能表面(RIS)将通信和传感功能集成到无人机(UAV)网络中铺平了道路。在本文中,我们提出了一种新方法,通过使用集成传感和通信(ISAC)网络与深度强化学习(DRL)相结合,最大限度地提高 RIS 辅助无人飞行器网络的总和率。无人机与 ISAC 网络的集成导致了动态和不可预测的信道条件,从而降低了传统优化技术的有效性。为了应对这一挑战,我们开发了一种基于 DRL 的和速率最大化算法,该算法可自适应地配置波束成形矩阵和 RIS 相移,以优化通信性能,同时达到传感所需的信噪比。我们的仿真结果表明,所提出的算法在总和速率方面明显优于现有方法,同时还能适应 ISAC-UAV 网络的动态特性。

The proliferation of mobile phones has led to the rise of mobile crowdsensing systems. However, many of these systems rely on the deep cloud, which can be complex and challenging to scale. To improve the performance of crowdsensing at the edge cloud, truth-discovery methods are commonly employed. These methods typically involve updating either the truth or the weight associated with a user’s task. While some edge cloud-based crowdsensing systems exist, they do not provide incentives to users based on their experience. In this report, we present a new approach to truth discovery and incentive-giving that considers both the user’s experience and the accuracy of their submitted data. Our modified truth-discovery algorithm updates both the weight and truth concurrently, with greater incentives offered to users who have completed more tasks and whose submitted data is close to the estimated truth. We have run simulations to show how well our suggested strategy works to enhance the incentive system for experienced users.
手机的普及带动了移动人群感应系统的兴起。然而,这些系统中的许多都依赖于深度云,而深度云的复杂性和规模化具有挑战性。为了提高边缘云的人群感应性能,通常会采用发现真相的方法。这些方法通常涉及更新与用户任务相关的真相或权重。虽然存在一些基于边缘云的众感应系统,但它们并没有根据用户的经验为用户提供激励。在本报告中,我们提出了一种新的真相发现和激励方法,这种方法既考虑了用户的经验,也考虑了他们所提交数据的准确性。我们修改后的真相发现算法同时更新权重和真相,对完成任务较多、提交数据接近估计真相的用户给予更多奖励。我们进行了模拟,以显示我们建议的策略在加强对经验丰富的用户的奖励制度方面效果如何。

Satellite communication has reached a turning point in transmitting data quickly and receiving signals clearly in faraway places. This paper presents a metamaterial-based antenna for distant and military applications that overcomes restrictions and performs unmatched. This project explores metamaterials to create a unique antenna. Expect to be astounded by its power to bend electromagnetic waves, miniaturize, and change our relationship with the universe. The feeding mechanism of this antenna is a modified co-planar waveguide. At 5.6 GHz, the proposed antenna unit cell measures 0.076λ0×0.2λ0, making it small thanks to its MTM characteristic. CP radiation is made when two orthogonally polarized modes are stimulated at the same time and two composite right- and left-handed transmission line unit cells are placed orthogonally. Reduced size, increased bandwidth, and improved Learn how this discovery opens new doors for high-resolution photography, broadband internet, and space exploration. One nanostructure that makes up a metamaterial is the Split Ring Resonator (SRR). SRR dimensions must be smaller than the resonance wavelength, making them crucial for near-infrared and optical responses. This effort examined nanoscale SRR characteristics in the infrared and visible ranges. SRRs composed of aluminum (Al) and gold (Au) were produced on silicon and silica substrates using electron beam lithography (EBL). The proposed structure consists of a microstrip-line-supplied SRR, a parasitic patch that is perpendicular to the ground plane, and two via holes connected by two split rings that feed the patch indirectly. Choosing the right material parameter for all such antennas depends on the planned structure. Fabrication and testing of the antenna matched simulations. Dimensions: 23.7 mm × 16.2 mm × 1.6 mm; substrate dielectric constant: 4.4. Experimental data are detailed and compared to analytical calculations. Simulation results show that metamaterials have negative permittivity and permeability in a certain frequency range, which can be predicted by an analytical method. Simulations indicated eight BRS, WiMAX, radar, and mobile phone resonance frequencies. Radiation is dipole-like in the omnidirectional in the H-plane and E-plane. 10 dB return loss and 3 dB axial ratio bandwidths are 38.6.7% and 8.1%, respectively.

We analyze a remote sensing system in the Internet of things, where uncoordinated nodes send status updates to a common receiver to achieve information freshness, quantified through age of information. We consider a finite horizon scheduling over a random multiple access channel, where colliding messages are lost. We show that nodes must adopt a further randomization to deviate from identical schedules and escape collision deadlocks. Moreover, we discuss the impact of feedback availability if, due to, e.g., energy expenditure, it decreases the number of transmission opportunities.

我们分析了物联网中的遥感系统,在该系统中,非协调节点向共同接收器发送状态更新,以实现信息新鲜度(通过信息年龄量化)。我们考虑了随机多路访问信道上的有限视距调度,在这种情况下,碰撞信息会丢失。我们的研究表明,节点必须进一步随机化,才能偏离相同的调度,摆脱碰撞死锁。此外,我们还讨论了反馈可用性的影响,如果由于能量消耗等原因,反馈可用性会减少传输机会的数量。

Moreover, we discuss the impact of feedback availability if, due to, e.g., energy expenditure, it decreases the number of transmission opportunities.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48526,"journal":{"name":"ICT Express","volume":"10 4","pages":"Pages 786-791"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2405959524000250/pdfft?md5=33d3b28c6a0ca48efab965584013cdce&pid=1-s2.0-S2405959524000250-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142020436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Channel estimation and pilot reduction for mmWave massive MIMO systems using deep neural networks 利用深度神经网络实现毫米波大规模多输入多输出系统的信道估计和先导减少
IF 4.1 3区 计算机科学 Q1 COMPUTER SCIENCE, INFORMATION SYSTEMS Pub Date : 2024-08-01 DOI: 10.1016/j.icte.2024.02.003

In this paper, we propose deep learning-based channel estimation and pilot reduction for mmWave point-to-point multi-input multi-output systems. The proposed scheme consists of a two-step approach where the first step is applying a denoising autoencoder for channel estimation. With the denoising characteristic of autoencoder, sparse channel estimation can be conducted although the orthogonality of pilot sequences is not guaranteed due to shorter pilots. The second step is exploiting the temporal correlation of the channel, using the previous estimate to extract information for the current estimate. Through simulation, the proposed scheme shows superior performance with reduced pilots.

本文针对毫米波点对点多输入多输出系统,提出了基于深度学习的信道估计和先导缩减方案。所提方案包括两个步骤,第一步是应用去噪自动编码器进行信道估计。利用自动编码器的去噪特性,可以进行稀疏信道估计,尽管由于先导序列较短,先导序列的正交性得不到保证。第二步是利用信道的时间相关性,利用先前的估计提取当前估计的信息。通过仿真,所提出的方案在减少先导序列的情况下表现出卓越的性能。

This paper proposes an intelligent sensing framework for Internet-of-Things platforms, where sensor measurements stem from multiple causes. Sensors are selectively chosen for data collection to identify the cause with partial measurements. We employ variational deep embedding, a generative model capable of clustering and generation, to identify causes, cluster measurements accordingly, and determine causes for estimating complete measurements from partial data. These estimates aid in efficient sensor selection for data collection. Results demonstrate early and reliable cause sensing and complete measurement estimation using the proposed framework.

ISAC-enable mobility-aware multi-UAV placement for ultra-dense networks 针对超密集网络的 ISAC 移动感知多无人飞行器布局
IF 4.1 3区 计算机科学 Q1 COMPUTER SCIENCE, INFORMATION SYSTEMS Pub Date : 2024-08-01 DOI: 10.1016/j.icte.2024.04.001

This paper proposes a method for characterizing user mobility levels in multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV)-assisted networks. In a dynamic environment with varying degrees of mobile ground users, optimizing the placement of UAVs is important in improving network throughput. Moreover, for integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) enabled UAVs, the resource allocation for sensing and communication relies on the dynamic nature of the network environment. To keep track of the changes in the environment UAVs are required to continuously update their trajectory, hence, characterizing the users’ mobility level is an important tool to improve the UAV trajectory optimization. In this paper, a mobility-aware resource allocation for joint sensing and communication is proposed. Our results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can improve the resource allocation between sensing and communication in an ISAC-enabled UAV-assisted network.

本文提出了一种在多无人机(UAV)辅助网络中描述用户移动水平的方法。在地面用户移动程度不同的动态环境中,优化无人机的位置对于提高网络吞吐量非常重要。此外,对于支持综合传感和通信(ISAC)的无人机来说,传感和通信的资源分配依赖于网络环境的动态性质。为了跟踪环境的变化,无人机需要不断更新其轨迹,因此,确定用户的移动水平是改进无人机轨迹优化的重要工具。本文提出了一种用于联合感知和通信的移动感知资源分配方法。我们的研究结果表明,所提出的算法可以改善支持 ISAC 的无人机辅助网络中感知和通信之间的资源分配。
