　概要を見る

Semantic communication plays a crucial role in human interactions, allowing for the exchange of complex ideas and concepts. In this paper, we introduce a novel approach to semantic communication leveraging image generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) models, specifically stable diffusion models. Unlike conventional works, our system enables the transmission of images through a physical channel by transforming them into multi-dimensional semantic representations consisting of text descriptions, low-resolution sketches, and pose information. At the receiver's end, these semantic representations are used to reconstruct the original image using a trained stable diffusion model. The benefits of our approach include reduced transmission bandwidth requirements, flexibility in reconstruction styles, adaptability to multiple receivers' preferences, and the ability to omit unwanted image elements. We present preliminary results demonstrating the feasibility and effectiveness of our method. The similarity score between the transmitted images and reconstructed ones reach values ranging between 0.015 and 0.029 in Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and between 0.993 and 0.998 using a Siamese network.

IEEE International Conference on Communications    2161 - 2166 2024年

　概要を見る

Pose estimation and human action recognition (HAR) are pivotal technologies spanning various domains. While the image-based pose estimation and HAR are widely admired for their superior performance, they lack in privacy protection and suboptimal performance in low-light and dark environments. This paper exploits the capabilities of millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar technology for human pose estimation by processing radar data with Graph Neural Network (GNN) architecture, coupled with the attention mechanism. Our goal is to capture the finer details of the radar point cloud to improve the pose estimation performance. To this end, we present a unique feature extraction technique that exploits the full potential of the GNN processing method for pose estimation. Our model mmGAT demonstrates remarkable performance on two publicly available benchmark mmWave datasets and establishes new state of the art results in most scenarios in terms of human pose estimation. Our approach achieves a noteworthy reduction of pose estimation mean per joint position error (MPJPE) by 35.6% and PA-MPJPE by 14.1% from the current state of the art benchmark within this domain.

Massive MIMO Belief Propagation Detection Using DIP with DNN-Trained Scaling Factor

Tachibana J., Bouazizi M., Ohtsuki T.

IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference Wcnc 2024年

ISSN  15253511

　概要を見る

Belief propagation (BP) detection is a technique for separating and detecting incoming signals with minimal complexity in massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. However, because of the interference and noise that remain in the received signals even after attempting to remove them through conventional techniques, errors manifest in the transmitted messages. Due to the MIMO channel's numerous loops, a message containing mistakes spreads across the factor graph leading to a degradation in the BP's convergence properties and detection performance. In this paper, we propose a BP detection using deep image prior (DIP) with deep neural network (DNN)-trained scaling factor. By applying DIP to the BP detection algorithm, we achieve a reduction in residual interference and noise. Post DIP application, there is a modification in the variance of both interference and noise components. To align it more accurately with its true value and enhance message reliability, we adjust the variance using scaling factors trained through DNN-based damped BP (DNN-dBP). Using computer simulations, we demonstrate that applying DIP helps decrease the power of the residual interference and noise after removing the interference at each iteration in the BP detection. It is also shown that the proposed method improves the detection performance compared to the normal BP detection, BP detection without DIP when training the scaling factors of the variance, and BP detection to which DIP is applied without training the scaling factors of the variance.

Low Complexity CSI Feedback Method Using Reformer

Saito Y., Bouazizi M., Ohtsuki T.

IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference 2024年

ISSN  15502252

　概要を見る

To leverage antenna diversity effectively in Massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems, Channel State Information (CSI) utilization at the base station (BS) is crucial. In Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD) MIMO setups, downlink CSI is acquired by user equipment (UE) and transmitted back to the BS. However, this feedback overhead diminishes communication throughput, necessitating CSI compression technologies. Methods such as traditional compression or more advanced ones such as Transformer-based neural networks which aim to address this issue suffer from low compression rates or high computational cost. In this context, Reformers emerge as a potential solution as they employ Locality-Sensitive Hashing (LSH) attention, offering a comparable accuracy to Transformers but with reduced computational demands. In this paper, we propose a CSI feedback method using Reformer. Specifically, by replacing the multi-head attention of the CSI feedback method using Transformer with the LSH attention of Reformer, we aimed to achieve similar CSI reconstruction accuracy while reducing computational complexity. Computer simulations confirm that the CSI feedback method using Reformer reduces computational complexity by about 12% while achieving comparable CSI reconstruction accuracy compared to the CSI feedback method using Transformer.

ISSN  15502252

　概要を見る

In this paper, we introduce an innovative Radio Frequency Fingerprinting (RFF)-based device authentication scheme for the Internet of Things (IoT), a network marked by extensive interconnections and interactions among various entities. Our approach, designed for an open and dynamic communication environment, not only identifies devices encountered during training but also effectively rejects those not previously seen. The scheme employs a hypersphere projection for feature embedding, strategically avoiding the need to optimize intra-device variations in the radial direction. It uses a K-Means-based binary classifier for initial device assessment based on cosine similarity scores, followed by a SoftMax classifier for precise identification of known devices. Our extensive numerical analysis confirms that this method delivers superior performance, setting a new benchmark in RFF authentication for IoT security.

Fully Autonomous Distributed Transmission Parameter Selection Method for Mobile IoT Applications Using Deep Reinforcement Learning

Sugiyama S., Makizoe K., Arai M., Hasegawa M., Otsuki T., Li A.

IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference 2024年

ISSN  15502252

　概要を見る

With the rapid increase in Internet of Things (IoT) devices, packet collision has become a serious problem in Long Range (LoRa) communication. Furthermore, the rising demand for mobile IoT applications necessitates parameter allocation methods that take into account the mobility of End Devices (EDs). However, the existing transmission parameter selection methods considering mobility are almost centralized designs, which may increase the probability of interference and system latency. The decentralized design is few and requires prior information on ED, which may cause scalability issues, e.g., adding ED to an existing network. To solve the problems above, a method through a fully autonomous distributed design supposing the mobility of ED using Double Deep Q Network (DDQN) is proposed in this paper. In the proposed method, ED trains the model based on ACKnowledge (ACK) packets and its location information without any prior information. Performance evaluation results show that the proposed method can achieve a higher packet delivery rate than other autonomous distributed methods in mobile IoT scenarios.

ISSN  15502252

　概要を見る

The increasing demand for spectral efficiency and system capacity in communication networks has driven the integration of Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) technology with Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) networks. In this paper, we propose an enhanced user clustering and pairing scheme for NOMA-aided UAV networks. Our study aims to maximize the minimum user throughput by proposing an Advanced Balanced K-Means (ABKM) algorithm, based on the traditional K-Means (KM) and Balanced K-Means (BKM) algorithms. The ABKM algorithm addresses the issue in the BKM algorithm where some users are assigned to sub-optimal clusters, resulting in increased distances to the cluster centroids, while simultaneously ensuring balanced clustering. Through extensive numerical simulations, we demonstrate that the ABKM algorithm significantly outperforms KM and BKM algorithms in terms of the minimum user throughput. The results highlight the potential of the proposed ABKM algorithm to enhance system performance and ensure fair resource allocation in NOMA-aided UAV networks, making it a promising solution for future 6G wireless communication systems.

IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference 2024年

ISSN  15502252

　概要を見る

The rapid changes in high-mobility vehicle environments make it challenging for base stations (BS) to obtain comprehensive channel state information. Furthermore, road and traffic safety require communication with low latency and high reliability, posing significant challenges to spectrum resource allocation in vehicular networks. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a method combining dueling double deep-Q network (D3QN) reinforcement learning (RL) with long short term memory (LSTM) network. By using a Manhattan Grid Layout City Model as the foundational environment, a multi-agent model is constructed, with each vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) link acting as an individual agent. These agents collaborate and interact with the environment, receiving feedback, and then determining the optimal resource allocation to ensure both superior mobile service and a safe driving environment. The experimental results indicate that our proposed method outperforms the conventional D3QN network in both the vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) links and the V2V links.

　概要を見る

Electrocardiogram (ECG) measurement is a fundamental diagnostic and monitoring tool in cardiology and healthcare. It plays a crucial role in identifying and managing cardiac conditions, assessing heart function, and improving patient outcomes through timely interventions and treatment adjustments. Conventional approaches for ECG measurement are often unsuitable for everyday use due to their invasiveness, inaccessibility, or limited accuracy. In this context, we introduce ECGDiff, a novel approach based on conditional denoising diffusion models for ECG signals reconstruction from Doppler signals. ECGDiff provides a non-intrusive and accessible method for non-contact ECG measurement. Our method represents a pioneering use of denoising diffusion models for time series trans-lation. In the proposed framework, ECG signals are iteratively reconstructed from random noise using preprocessed signals derived from a Doppler sensor as input conditions. Extensive experiments have been conducted on a dataset comprising 19 healthy individuals, consisting of pairs of synchronized Doppler and ECG signals. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed ECGDiff outperforms other state-of-the-art methods by a large margin for the task of ECG signals reconstruction. Specifically, we achieved a DTW score of 8.32, a Frechet distance score of 3.10, and a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.93. These results highlight the effectiveness of our approach for reconstructing ECG signals from Doppler signals.

　概要を見る

Remote sensing image (RSI) object detection is crucial for natural disaster management, urban planning, and resource exploration. However, due to significant differences between RSIs and natural images (NIs), existing object detectors designed for NIs are not directly applicable to RSIs. CNN-based models typically require specialized attention modules to relate small targets to global contexts, while Transformer-based models often add modules to enhance detail extraction, increasing computational costs for edge deployment. To address these challenges, we propose DyFormer, a hybrid CNN-Transformer model that combines local and global attention mechanisms for effective feature fusion. Additionally, a feature residual pyramid network (FRPN) is introduced to enhance multi-scale feature integration. We conduct experiments on the open source NWPU VHR-10 dataset to evaluate the proposed DyFormer, achieving a mAP@0.5 of 61.7%, outperforms existing sort-of-the-art methods, demonstrating its effectiveness for RSI object detection tasks.

DTL-Based CSI Feedback Combined with Continual Learning in FDD Massive MIMO Systems

Inoue M., Ohtsuki T., Bouazizi M.

2024 International Conference on Computing Networking and Communications Icnc 2024    1077 - 1081 2024年

　概要を見る

The Deep Transfer Learning (DTL)-based Channel State Information (CSI) approach exploits the Deep Neural Network (DNN) model to provide low-cost CSI feedback for the target channel. It involves offline training on a given CSI dataset, followed by fine-tuning for a new environment using a small amount of collected CSI data, reducing feedback costs. However, in practical scenarios, the fine-tuned model performs worse on the source channel compared to the original source model. This leads to continued use of the poorly performing target model until it's fine-tuned again with newly acquired data. To address this, we propose combining DTL-based CSI feedback with continual learning. We introduce elastic weight consolidation (EWC) into the loss function during fine tuning. Simulations show that our method significantly reduces the degradation of the target model on the source channel, as measured by NMSE, compared to a method without continual learning.

2024 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics Speech and Signal Processing Workshops Icasspw 2024 Proceedings    383 - 387 2024年

　概要を見る

Deep steganalyzer combined with neural networks has achieved great success in image classification over recent years. However, it suffers from the following persistent challenges: i) Deep steganalyzer is extremely vulnerable and has the risk of being attacked via adversarial steganography when performing the image classification tasks; ii) Pre-processing based methods aiming to remove adversarial perturbations from cover images jeopardize the accuracy performance, as the involved steganographic signal will be wiped off as well. In this context, to defend against adversarial attacks by an adversary, we propose an adversarial steganography detection scheme based on the pre-processing and feature migration. In brief, sub-images are sampled to obtain the dimensionality of the extracted features, which are usually used to expand them while reducing the effect brought by adversarial perturbations. In particular, by computing statistical features together with normalizing the features, our approach can improve the classification accuracy of the samples. Our experimental results show that the proposed approach is capable of detecting adversarial steganographic image with an accuracy gain of up to 35.9% over the state-of-the-art methods.

Proceedings of the Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society EMBS 2024年

ISSN  1557170X

　概要を見る

Person identification based on radar-extracted vital signs has become increasingly popular due to its non-contact measurement capabilities. This paper introduces a novel deep learning-based person identification algorithm leveraging radar- extracted vital signs. While current studies mainly focus on closeset conditions with consistent training and testing categories, real-world scenarios often involve open-set circumstances, in which there are more data categories in the testing data. The algorithm involves extracting heart pulse signals from Doppler radar echoes, training two Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based models using transfer learning, and utilizing a distribution model for calibration. By combining the models' outputs through a strategic decision-making process, we achieve superior person identification results. Experimental results on a public radar vital signs dataset demonstrate an identification accuracy of 99.61% in close-set conditions and 94.35% in openset conditions, surpassing existing approaches.

Cramér-Rao Lower Bound and Fairness Optimization in STAR-RIS Assisted ISAC Systems

Wang R., Cao Y., Ohtsuki T., He J.

IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference 2024年

ISSN  15502252

　概要を見る

This paper studies user fairness of an integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system adopting both simultaneously transmitting and reflecting reconfigurable intelligent surface (STAR-RIS) and non-orthogonal multiple access (NO-MA). Note that optimizing user fairness of an ISAC system is critical, since the performance trade-off in terms of spectrum resource utilization between communication users and sensing users is hard to balance and improve, particularly at the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regimes. However, such optimization problem is a coupled, non-convex, and is NP-hard in general. To solve this challenging problem, a low-complexity algorithm based on both the successive convex approximation and the semi-deterministic programming techniques is proposed. Notably, the proposed approach can maximize the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) for the weakest communication user, while guaranteeing the superior sensing performance characterized by the cramér-rao lower bound (CRLB) for the sensing user. Simulation results demonstrate that our approach is capable of enabling superior sum-rate performance than the STAR-RIS with orthogonal multiple access (OMA), the conventional-RIS with NOMA, and the conventional-RIS with OMA schemes.

Yin Y., Ohtsuki T., Gui G., Yuen C., Wu H.C., Sari H.

IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology 72 （ 12 ） 16866 - 16870 2023年12月

ISSN  00189545

　概要を見る

In this paper, we propose a joint optimization algorithm of user pairing, power allocation, and content server (CS) deployment in non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) assisted wireless caching networks (WCN). The main purpose of the proposed algorithm is to maximize the hit probability of users, which is determined by the hit probability of CSs and the decoding success probability of users. Since the optimization problem is non-convex and difficult to solve directly, it is decomposed into three sub-problems, user pairing, power allocation, and CS deployment. First, users are served by CSs in a hybrid NOMA manner and paired according to the power demand coefficient. Secondly, we derive the closed-form solution of the power allocation factor in the Rayleigh fading channels. Thirdly, the simulated annealing algorithm is used to optimize the deployment of CSs. Finally, simulation results confirm that the proposed joint optimization scheme outperforms the benchmark scheme.

DRL based low carbon economic dispatch by considering power transmission safety limitations in internet of energy

Internet of Things Netherlands 24 2023年12月

　概要を見る

Economic dispatch, as a crucial method for ensuring the normal operation of power systems, is typically modeled as an optimization problem and solved using solvers. The introduction of low-carbon requirements has increased the complexity of the optimization problem, as economic dispatch now needs to consider effectively reducing the emission of CO<inf>2</inf>. The utilization of renewable energy can mitigate carbon emissions during power system operation, but its inherent uncertainty poses safety risks to transmission lines between microgrids and the main grid. Hence, this paper explores the issue of low-carbon economic dispatch to ensure the reliability of power transmission. We introduce a two-stage low-carbon economic dispatch model grounded in deep reinforcement learning. In the first stage, we incorporate the transmission power limits between microgrids and the main grid as constraints, generate day-ahead dispatch strategies, and determine the weights of factors in the reward function. In the second stage, we employ two methods: adjusting the weight of the penalty for exceeding the transmission limits and adding conservative safety limit constraints, to solve the problem of transmission power exceeding limits caused by uncertainties of renewable energy and prediction errors. Three deep reinforcement learning algorithms, all rooted in the Actor–Critic structure, are employed to implement the two-stage economic dispatch model. Experimental results affirm the efficacy of the proposed model in mitigating the risk of transmission power exceeding its limit, reducing carbon emissions, and minimizing operational costs.

　概要を見る

Forests have an important role in environmental preservation and maintenance. The primary threat is forest fires, which have disastrous repercussions. As a result, it is critical to identify and extinguish a fire before it spreads and destroys resources. To that end, we propose a forest fire detection and fighting mechanism using wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs). Temperature sensors are utilized to detect fires, and actors (robots) are employed to extinguish them. Sensors and robots are distributed at random throughout the forest, forming clusters. Clustering, sleep/active scheduling for the sensors, and energy harvesting (EH)/moving modes for the robots, are used to extend and maximize the sensors/robots lifetime in the WSAN. In such a network, robots should move to the fire site as quickly as possible. To do this, we further propose a robot routing mechanism that focuses on determining the shortest path for each firefighting robot. In particular, each firefighting robot equipped with on-board processing uses a fuzzy Q-learning (FQL)-based trajectory mechanism to learn the shortest path to the fire zone in the least amount of time. Simulations are conducted to demonstrate the benefits of employing the proposed framework for rapid and effective fire response. When compared to the traditional Q-learning, the total approaching rate (a measure of how quickly the firefighting robots can reach the fire) to the fire spot is greater when utilizing the proposed FQL-based strategy.

Semisupervised Federated-Learning-Based Intrusion Detection Method for Internet of Things

　概要を見る

Federated learning (FL) has become an increasingly popular solution for intrusion detection to avoid data privacy leakage in Internet of Things (IoT) edge devices. Existing FL-based intrusion detection methods, however, suffer from three limitations: 1) model parameters transmitted in each round may be used to recover private data, which leads to security risks; 2) not independent and identically distributed (non-IID) private data seriously adversely affect the training of FL (especially distillation-based FL); and 3) high communication overhead caused by the large model size greatly hinders the actual deployment of the solution. To address these problems, this article develops an intrusion detection method based on a semisupervised FL scheme via knowledge distillation. First, our proposed method leverages unlabeled data via distillation method to enhance the classifier performance. Second, we build a model based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for extracting deep features of the traffic packets, and take this model as both the classifier network and discriminator network. Third, the discriminator is designed to improve the quality of each client's predicted labels, and to avoid the failure of distillation training caused by a large number of incorrect predictions under private non-IID data. Moreover, the combination of the hard-label strategy and voting mechanism further reduces communication overhead. The experiments on the real-world traffic data set with three non-IID scenarios show that our proposed method can achieve better detection performance as well as lower communication overhead than state-of-the-art methods.

Internet of energy (IoE) is one of the most complex industrial systems, and its stable operation is very important. Situation awareness (SA) has been proposed to ensure the stable operation for IoE and making full use of the relationships between components has become the key point for designing an efficient SA model. In this article, graph digital twin (GDT) is proposed by combining digital twin technology with graph theory, to describe the logical relationships between physical entities more accurately in digital space, and then a novel SA model for IoE based on GDT is proposed. In order to make full use of the relationship between nodes, two classifiers based on graph convolution network are designed for fault location and stability prediction. The experimental results show that the proposed SA model can localize the multiple fault components with high accuracy, and can accurately predict the stability of the system.

　概要を見る

Monitoring the activities of elderly people living alone is of great importance since it allows for the detection of when hazardous events such as falling occur. In this context, the use of 2D light detection and ranging (LIDAR) has been explored, among others, as a way to identify such events. Typically, a 2D LIDAR is placed near the ground and collects measurements continuously, and a computational device classifies these measurements. However, in a realistic environment with home furniture, it is hard for such a device to operate as it requires a direct line of sight (LOS) with its target. Furniture will block the infrared (IR) rays from reaching the monitored person thus limiting the effectiveness of such sensors. Nonetheless, due to their fixed location, if a fall is not detected when it happens, it cannot be detected afterwards. In this context, cleaning robots present a much better alternative given their autonomy. In this paper, we propose to use a 2D LIDAR mounted on top of a cleaning robot. Through continuous movement, the robot is able to collect distance information continuously. Despite having the same drawback, by roaming in the room, the robot can identify if a person is laying on the ground after falling, even after a certain period from the fall event. To achieve such a goal, the measurements captured by the moving LIDAR are transformed, interpolated, and compared to a reference state of the surroundings. A convolutional long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network is trained to classify the processed measurements and identify if a fall event occurs or has occurred. Through simulations, we show that such a system can achieve an accuracy equal to 81.2% in fall detection and 99% in the detection of lying bodies. Compared to the conventional method, which uses a static LIDAR, the accuracy reaches for the same tasks 69.4% and 88.6%, respectively.
