Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) is a promising technique to provide sensing services in future wireless networks. Numerous existing works have adopted a monostatic radar architecture to realize ISAC, i.e., employing the same base station (BS) to transmit the ISAC signal and receive the echo. Yet, the concurrent information transmission causes unavoidable self-interference (SI) to the radar echo at the BS. To overcome this difficulty, we propose a coordinated cellular network-supported multistatic radar architecture to implement ISAC, which allows us to spatially separate the ISAC signal transmission and radar echo reception, intrinsically circumventing the problem of SI. To this end, we jointly optimize the transmit and receive beamforming policy to minimize the sensing beam pattern mismatch error subject to ISAC quality-of-service requirements. The resulting non-convex optimization problem is tackled by an alternating optimization-based suboptimal algorithm. Simulation results showed that the proposed scheme outperforms the two baseline schemes adopting conventional designs.

3D dynamic point cloud (DPC) compression relies on mining its temporal context, which faces significant challenges due to DPC's sparsity and non-uniform structure. Existing methods are limited in capturing sufficient temporal dependencies. Therefore, this paper proposes a learning-based DPC compression framework via hierarchical block-matching-based inter-prediction module to compensate and compress the DPC geometry in latent space. Specifically, we propose a hierarchical motion estimation and motion compensation (Hie-ME/MC) framework for flexible inter-prediction, which dynamically selects the granularity of optical flow to encapsulate the motion information accurately. To improve the motion estimation efficiency of the proposed inter-prediction module, we further design a KNN-attention block matching (KABM) network that determines the impact of potential corresponding points based on the geometry and feature correlation. Finally, we compress the residual and the multi-scale optical flow with a fully-factorized deep entropy model. The experiment result on the MPEG-specified Owlii Dynamic Human Dynamic Point Cloud (Owlii) dataset shows that our framework outperforms the previous state-of-the-art methods and the MPEG standard V-PCC v18 in inter-frame low-delay mode.

The widespread adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in smart cities, intelligent healthcare systems, and various real-world applications have resulted in the generation of vast amounts of data, often analyzed using different Machine Learning (ML) models. Federated learning (FL) has been acknowledged as a privacy-preserving machine learning technology, where multiple parties cooperatively train ML models without exchanging raw data. However, the current FL architecture does not allow for an audit of the training process due to the various data-protection policies implemented by each FL participant. Furthermore, there is no global model verifiability available in the current architecture. This paper proposes a smart contract-based policy control for securing the Federated Learning (FL) management system. First, we develop and deploy a smart contract-based local training policy control on the FL participants' side. This policy control is used to verify the training process, ensuring that the evaluation process follows the same rules for all FL participants. We then enforce a smart contract-based aggregation policy to manage the global model aggregation process. Upon completion, the aggregated model and policy are stored on blockchain-based storage. Subsequently, we distribute the aggregated global model and the smart contract to all FL participants. Our proposed method uses smart policy control to manage access and verify the integrity of machine learning models. We conducted multiple experiments with various machine learning architectures and datasets to evaluate our proposed framework, such as MNIST and CIFAR-10.

In next generation Internet-of-Things, the overhead introduced by grant-based multiple access protocols may engulf the access network as a consequence of the unprecedented number of connected devices. Grant-free access protocols are therefore gaining an increasing interest to support massive access from machine-type devices with intermittent activity. In this paper, coded random access (CRA) with massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) is investigated as a solution to design highly-scalable massive multiple access protocols, taking into account stringent requirements on latency and reliability. With a focus on signal processing aspects at the physical layer and their impact on the overall system performance, critical issues of successive interference cancellation (SIC) over fading channels are first analyzed. Then, SIC algorithms and a scheduler are proposed that can overcome some of the limitations of the current access protocols. The effectiveness of the proposed processing algorithms is validated by Monte Carlo simulation, for different CRA protocols and by comparisons with developed benchmarks.

Dynamical mean-field theory is a powerful physics tool used to analyze the typical behavior of neural networks, where neurons can be recurrently connected, or multiple layers of neurons can be stacked. However, it is not easy for beginners to access the essence of this tool and the underlying physics. Here, we give a pedagogical introduction of this method in a particular example of generic random neural networks, where neurons are randomly and fully connected by correlated synapses and therefore the network exhibits rich emergent collective dynamics. We also review related past and recent important works applying this tool. In addition, a physically transparent and alternative method, namely the dynamical cavity method, is also introduced to derive exactly the same results. The numerical implementation of solving the integro-differential mean-field equations is also detailed, with an illustration of exploring the fluctuation dissipation theorem.

Determining multi-robot motion policies for persistently monitoring a region with limited sensing, communication, and localization constraints in non-GPS environments is a challenging problem. To take the localization constraints into account, in this paper, we consider a heterogeneous robotic system consisting of two types of agents: anchor agents with accurate localization capability and auxiliary agents with low localization accuracy. To localize itself, the auxiliary agents must be within the communication range of an {anchor}, directly or indirectly. The robotic team's objective is to minimize environmental uncertainty through persistent monitoring. We propose a multi-agent deep reinforcement learning (MARL) based architecture with graph convolution called Graph Localized Proximal Policy Optimization (GALOPP), which incorporates the limited sensor field-of-view, communication, and localization constraints of the agents along with persistent monitoring objectives to determine motion policies for each agent. We evaluate the performance of GALOPP on open maps with obstacles having a different number of anchor and auxiliary agents. We further study (i) the effect of communication range, obstacle density, and sensing range on the performance and (ii) compare the performance of GALOPP with non-RL baselines, namely, greedy search, random search, and random search with communication constraint. For its generalization capability, we also evaluated GALOPP in two different environments -- 2-room and 4-room. The results show that GALOPP learns the policies and monitors the area well. As a proof-of-concept, we perform hardware experiments to demonstrate the performance of GALOPP.

Providing a high Quality of Experience (QoE) for video streaming in 5G and beyond 5G (B5G) networks is challenging due to the dynamic nature of the underlying network conditions. Several Adaptive Bit Rate (ABR) algorithms have been developed to improve QoE, but most of them are designed based on fixed rules and unsuitable for a wide range of network conditions. Recently, Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) based Asynchronous Advantage Actor-Critic (A3C) methods have recently demonstrated promise in their ability to generalise to diverse network conditions, but they still have limitations. One specific issue with A3C methods is the lag between each actor's behavior policy and central learner's target policy. Consequently, suboptimal updates emerge when the behavior and target policies become out of synchronization. In this paper, we address the problems faced by vanilla-A3C by integrating the on-policy-based multi-agent DRL method into the existing video streaming framework. Specifically, we propose a novel system for ABR generation - Proximal Policy Optimization-based DRL for Adaptive Bit Rate streaming (PPO-ABR). Our proposed method improves the overall video QoE by maximizing sample efficiency using a clipped probability ratio between the new and the old policies on multiple epochs of minibatch updates. The experiments on real network traces demonstrate that PPO-ABR outperforms state-of-the-art methods for different QoE variants.

The accuracy of Earth system models is compromised by unknown and/or unresolved dynamics, making the quantification of systematic model errors essential. While a model parameter estimation, which allows parameters to change spatio-temporally, shows promise in quantifying and mitigating systematic model errors, the estimation of the spatio-temporally distributed model parameters has been practically challenging. Here we present an efficient and practical method to estimate time-varying parameters in high-dimensional spaces. In our proposed method, Hybrid Offline and Online Parameter Estimation with ensemble Kalman filtering (HOOPE-EnKF), model parameters estimated by EnKF are constrained by results of offline batch optimization, in which the posterior distribution of model parameters is obtained by comparing simulated and observed climatological variables. HOOPE-EnKF outperforms the original EnKF in a synthetic experiment using a two-scale Lorenz96 model. One advantage of HOOPE-EnKF over traditional EnKFs is that its performance is not greatly affected by inflation factors for model parameters, thus eliminating the need for extensive tuning of inflation factors. We thoroughly discuss the potential of HOOPE-EnKF as a practical method for improving parameterizations of process-based models and prediction in real-world applications such as numerical weather prediction.

This paper aims to mitigate straggler effects in synchronous distributed learning for multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) problems. Stragglers arise frequently in a distributed learning system, due to the existence of various system disturbances such as slow-downs or failures of compute nodes and communication bottlenecks. To resolve this issue, we propose a coded distributed learning framework, which speeds up the training of MARL algorithms in the presence of stragglers, while maintaining the same accuracy as the centralized approach. As an illustration, a coded distributed version of the multi-agent deep deterministic policy gradient(MADDPG) algorithm is developed and evaluated. Different coding schemes, including maximum distance separable (MDS)code, random sparse code, replication-based code, and regular low density parity check (LDPC) code are also investigated. Simulations in several multi-robot problems demonstrate the promising performance of the proposed framework.

In recent years, mobile devices have gained increasingly development with stronger computation capability and larger storage. Some of the computation-intensive machine learning and deep learning tasks can now be run on mobile devices. To take advantage of the resources available on mobile devices and preserve users' privacy, the idea of mobile distributed machine learning is proposed. It uses local hardware resources and local data to solve machine learning sub-problems on mobile devices, and only uploads computation results instead of original data to contribute to the optimization of the global model. This architecture can not only relieve computation and storage burden on servers, but also protect the users' sensitive information. Another benefit is the bandwidth reduction, as various kinds of local data can now participate in the training process without being uploaded to the server. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey on recent studies of mobile distributed machine learning. We survey a number of widely-used mobile distributed machine learning methods. We also present an in-depth discussion on the challenges and future directions in this area. We believe that this survey can demonstrate a clear overview of mobile distributed machine learning and provide guidelines on applying mobile distributed machine learning to real applications.
