In the realm of Tiny AI, we introduce "You Only Look at Interested Cells" (YOLIC), an efficient method for object localization and classification on edge devices. Seamlessly blending the strengths of semantic segmentation and object detection, YOLIC offers superior computational efficiency and precision. By adopting Cells of Interest for classification instead of individual pixels, YOLIC encapsulates relevant information, reduces computational load, and enables rough object shape inference. Importantly, the need for bounding box regression is obviated, as YOLIC capitalizes on the predetermined cell configuration that provides information about potential object location, size, and shape. To tackle the issue of single-label classification limitations, a multi-label classification approach is applied to each cell, effectively recognizing overlapping or closely situated objects. This paper presents extensive experiments on multiple datasets, demonstrating that YOLIC achieves detection performance comparable to the state-of-the-art YOLO algorithms while surpassing in speed, exceeding 30fps on a Raspberry Pi 4B CPU. All resources related to this study, including datasets, cell designer, image annotation tool, and source code, have been made publicly available on our project website at //kai3316.github.io/yolic.github.io

There are three generic services in 5G: enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC), and massive machine-type communications (mMTC). To guarantee the performance of heterogeneous services, network slicing is proposed to allocate resources to different services. Network slicing is typically done in an orthogonal multiple access (OMA) fashion, which means different services are allocated non-interfering resources. However, as the number of users grows, OMA-based slicing is not always optimal, and a non-orthogonal scheme may achieve a better performance. This work aims to analyse the performances of different slicing schemes in uplink, and a promising scheme based on rate-splitting multiple access (RSMA) is studied. RSMA can provide a more flexible decoding order and theoretically has the largest achievable rate region than OMA and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) without time-sharing. Hence, RSMA has the potential to increase the rate of users requiring different services. In addition, it is not necessary to decode the two split streams of one user successively, so RSMA lets suitable users split messages and designs an appropriate decoding order depending on the service requirements. This work shows that for network slicing RSMA can outperform NOMA counterpart, and obtain significant gains over OMA in some region.

In relay-enabled cellular networks, the intertwined nature of network agents calls for complex schemes to allocate wireless resources. Resources need to be distributed among mobile users while considering how relay resources are allocated, and constrained by the traffic rate achievable by base stations and over backhaul links. In this work, we derive a resource allocation scheme that achieves max-min fairness across mobile users. Furthermore, the optimal allocation is found with linear complexity with respect to the number of mobile users and relays.

We consider a voting model, where a number of candidates need to be selected subject to certain feasibility constraints. The model generalises committee elections (where there is a single constraint on the number of candidates that need to be selected), various elections with diversity constraints, the model of public decisions (where decisions needs to be taken on a number of independent issues), and the model of collective scheduling. A critical property of voting is that it should be fair -- not only to individuals but also to groups of voters with similar opinions on the subject of the vote; in other words, the outcome of an election should proportionally reflect the voters' preferences. We formulate axioms of proportionality in this general model. Our axioms do not require predefining groups of voters; to the contrary, we ensure that the opinion of every subset of voters whose preferences are cohesive-enough are taken into account to the extent that is proportional to the size of the subset. Our axioms are always satisfiable, and generalize the strongest known satisfiable axioms for the more specific models. We explain how to adapt two prominent committee election rules, Proportional Approval Voting (PAV) and Phragmen Sequential Rule, as well as the concept of stable-priceability to our general model. The two rules satisfy our proportionality axioms if and only if the feasibility constraints are matroids.

Quantum Internetworking is a recent field that promises numerous interesting applications, many of which require the distribution of entanglement between arbitrary pairs of users. This work deals with the problem of scheduling in an arbitrary entanglement swapping quantum network - often called first generation quantum network - in its general topology, multicommodity, loss-aware formulation. We introduce a linear algebraic framework that exploits quantum memory through the creation of intermediate entangled links. The framework is then employed to mathematically derive a natural class of quadratic scheduling policies for quantum networks by applying Lyapunov Drift Minimization, a standard technique in classical network science. Moreover, an additional class of Max-Weight inspired policies is proposed and benchmarked, reducing significantly the computation cost, at the price of a slight performance degradation. The policies are compared in terms of information availability, localization and overall network performance through an ad-hoc simulator that admits user-provided network topologies and scheduling policies in order to showcase the potential application of the provided tools to quantum network design.

This paper presents a scalable solution with adjustable computation time for the joint problem of scheduling and assigning machines and transporters for missions that must be completed in a fixed order of operations across multiple stages. A battery-operated multi-robot system with a maximum travel range is employed as the transporter between stages and charging them is considered as an operation. Robots are assigned to a single job until its completion. Additionally, The operation completion time is assumed to be dependent on the machine and the type of operation, but independent of the job. This work aims to minimize a weighted multi-objective goal that includes both the required time and energy consumed by the transporters. This problem is a variation of the flexible flow shop with transports, that is proven to be NP-complete. To provide a solution, time is discretized, the solution space is divided temporally, and jobs are clustered into diverse groups. Finally, an integer linear programming solver is applied within a sliding time window to determine assignments and create a schedule that minimizes the objective. The computation time can be reduced depending on the number of jobs selected at each segment, with a trade-off on optimality. The proposed algorithm finds its application in a water sampling project, where water sampling jobs are assigned to robots, sample deliveries at laboratories are scheduled, and the robots are routed to charging stations.

This paper reexamines and fundamentally improves the Schmidl-and-Cox (S&C) algorithm, which is extensively used for packet detection in wireless networks, and enhances its adaptability for multi-antenna receivers. First, we introduce a new "compensated autocorrelation" metric, providing a more analytically tractable solution with precise expressions for false-alarm and missed-detection probabilities. Second, this paper proposes the Pareto comparison principle for fair benchmarking packet-detection algorithms, considering both false alarms and missed detections simultaneously. Third, with the Pareto benchmarking scheme, we experimentally confirm that the performance of S&C can be greatly improved by taking only the real part and discarding the imaginary part of the autocorrelation, leading to the novel real-part S&C (RP-S&C) scheme. Fourth, and perhaps most importantly, we utilize the compensated autocorrelation metric we newly put forth to extend the single-antenna algorithm to multi-antenna scenarios through a weighted-sum approach. Two optimization problems, minimizing false-alarm and missed-detection probabilities respectively, are formulated and solutions are provided. Our experimental results reveal that the optimal weights for false alarms (WFA) scheme is more desirable than the optimal weights for missed detections (WMD) due to its simplicity, reliability, and superior performance. This study holds considerable implications for the design and deployment of packet-detection schemes in random-access networks.

An extension of coded caching referred to as multi-access coded caching where each user can access multiple caches and each cache can serve multiple users is considered in this paper. Most of the literature in multi-access coded caching focuses on cyclic wrap-around cache access where each user is allowed to access an exclusive set of consecutive caches only. In this paper, a more general framework of multi-access caching problem is considered in which each user is allowed to randomly connect to a specific number of caches and multiple users can access the same set of caches. For the proposed system model considering decentralized prefetching, a new delivery scheme is proposed and an expression for per user delivery rate is obtained. A lower bound on the delivery rate is derived using techniques from index coding. The proposed scheme is shown to be optimal among all the linear schemes under certain conditions. An improved delivery rate and a lower bound for the decentralized multi-access coded caching scheme with cyclic wrap-around cache access can be obtained as a special case. By giving specific values to certain parameters, the results of decentralized shared caching scheme and of conventional decentralized caching scheme can be recovered.

This paper considers improving wireless communication and computation efficiency in federated learning (FL) via model quantization. In the proposed bitwidth FL scheme, edge devices train and transmit quantized versions of their local FL model parameters to a coordinating server, which aggregates them into a quantized global model and synchronizes the devices. The goal is to jointly determine the bitwidths employed for local FL model quantization and the set of devices participating in FL training at each iteration. We pose this as an optimization problem that aims to minimize the training loss of quantized FL under a per-iteration device sampling budget and delay requirement. However, the formulated problem is difficult to solve without (i) a concrete understanding of how quantization impacts global ML performance and (ii) the ability of the server to construct estimates of this process efficiently. To address the first challenge, we analytically characterize how limited wireless resources and induced quantization errors affect the performance of the proposed FL method. Our results quantify how the improvement of FL training loss between two consecutive iterations depends on the device selection and quantization scheme as well as on several parameters inherent to the model being learned. Then, we show that the FL training process can be described as a Markov decision process and propose a model-based reinforcement learning (RL) method to optimize action selection over iterations. Compared to model-free RL, this model-based RL approach leverages the derived mathematical characterization of the FL training process to discover an effective device selection and quantization scheme without imposing additional device communication overhead. Simulation results show that the proposed FL algorithm can reduce the convergence time.

As digital transformation continues, enterprises are generating, managing, and storing vast amounts of data, while artificial intelligence technology is rapidly advancing. However, it brings challenges in information security and data security. Data security refers to the protection of digital information from unauthorized access, damage, theft, etc. throughout its entire life cycle. With the promulgation and implementation of data security laws and the emphasis on data security and data privacy by organizations and users, Privacy-preserving technology represented by federated learning has a wide range of application scenarios. Federated learning is a distributed machine learning computing framework that allows multiple subjects to train joint models without sharing data to protect data privacy and solve the problem of data islands. However, the data among multiple subjects are independent of each other, and the data differences in quality may cause fairness issues in federated learning modeling, such as data bias among multiple subjects, resulting in biased and discriminatory models. Therefore, we propose DBFed, a debiasing federated learning framework based on domain-independent, which mitigates model bias by explicitly encoding sensitive attributes during client-side training. This paper conducts experiments on three real datasets and uses five evaluation metrics of accuracy and fairness to quantify the effect of the model. Most metrics of DBFed exceed those of the other three comparative methods, fully demonstrating the debiasing effect of DBFed.
