This paper focuses on the problem of joint beamforming control and power allocation in the ad-hoc mmWave network. Over the shared spectrum, a number of multi-input-multi-output links attempt to minimize their supply power by simultaneously finding the locally optimal power allocation and beamformers in a self-interested manner. Our design considers a category of non-convex quality-of-service constraints, which are a function of the coupled strategies adopted by the mutually interfering ad-hoc links. We propose a two-stage, decentralized searching scheme, where the adaptation of power-levels and beamformer filters are performed in two separated sub-stages iteratively at each link. By introducing the analysis based on the generalized Nash equilibrium, we provide the theoretical proof of the convergence of our proposed power adaptation algorithm based on the local best response together with an iterative minimum mean square error receiver. Several transmit beamforming schemes requiring different levels of information exchange are compared. Our simulation results show that with a minimum-level requirement on the channel state information acquisition, a locally optimal transmit filter design based on the optimization of the local signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio is able to achieve an acceptable tradeoff between link performance and the need for decentralization.

Wirelessly-powered sensor networks (WPSNs) are becoming increasingly important in different monitoring applications. We consider a WPSN where a multiple-antenna base station, which is dedicated for energy transmission, sends pilot signals to estimate the channel state information and consequently shapes the energy beams toward the sensor nodes. Given a fixed energy budget at the base station, in this paper, we investigate the novel problem of optimally allocating the power for the channel estimation and for the energy transmission. We formulate this non-convex optimization problem for general channel estimation and beamforming schemes that satisfy some qualification conditions. We provide a new solution approach and a performance analysis in terms of optimality and complexity. We also present a closed-form solution for the case where the channels are estimated based on a least square channel estimation and a maximum ratio transmit beamforming scheme. The analysis and simulations indicate a significant gain in terms of the network sensing rate, compared to the fixed power allocation, and the importance of improving the channel estimation efficiency.
In this paper, we investigate the combination of non-orthogonal multiple access and millimeter-Wave communications (mmWave-NOMA). A downlink cellular system is considered, where an analog phased array is equipped at both the base station and users. A joint Tx-Rx beamforming and power allocation problem is formulated to maximize the achievable sum rate (ASR) subject to a minimum rate constraint for each user. As the problem is non-convex, we propose a sub-optimal solution with three stages. In the first stage, the optimal power allocation with a closed form is obtained for an arbitrary fixed Tx-Rx beamforming. In the second stage, the optimal Rx beamforming with a closed form is designed for an arbitrary fixed Tx beamforming. In the third stage, the original problem is reduced to a Tx beamforming problem by using the previous results, and a boundary-compressed particle swarm optimization (BC-PSO) algorithm is proposed to obtain a sub-optimal solution. Extensive performance evaluations are conducted to verify the rational of the proposed solution, and the results show that the proposed sub-optimal solution can achieve a near-upper-bound performance in terms of ASR, which is significantly improved compared with those of the state-of-the-art schemes and the conventional mmWave orthogonal multiple access (mmWave-OMA) system.
This study demonstrates the feasibility of the proactive received power prediction by leveraging spatiotemporal visual sensing information toward the reliable millimeter-wave (mmWave) networks. Since the received power on a mmWave link can attenuate aperiodically due to a human blockage, the long-term series of the future received power cannot be predicted by analyzing the received signals before the blockage occurs. We propose a novel mechanism that predicts a time series of the received power from the next moment to even several hundred milliseconds ahead. The key idea is to leverage the camera imagery and machine learning (ML). The time-sequential images can involve the spatial geometry and the mobility of obstacles representing the mmWave signal propagation. ML is used to build the prediction model from the dataset of sequential images labeled with the received power in several hundred milliseconds ahead of when each image is obtained. The simulation and experimental evaluations using IEEE 802.11ad devices and a depth camera show that the proposed mechanism employing convolutional LSTM predicted a time series of the received power in up to 500 ms ahead at an inference time of less than 3 ms with a root-mean-square error of 3.5 dB.
In this paper, we propose a novel joint intelligent trajectory design and resource allocation algorithm based on users mobility and their requested services for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) assisted networks, where UAVs act as nodes of a network function virtualization (NFV) enabled network. Our objective is to maximize energy efficiency and minimize the average delay on all services by allocating the limited radio and NFV resources. In addition, due to the traffic conditions and mobility of users, we let some Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) to migrate from their current locations to other locations to satisfy the Quality of Service requirements. We formulate our problem to find near-optimal locations of UAVs, transmit power, subcarrier assignment, placement, and scheduling the requested services functions over the UAVs and perform suitable VNF migration. Then we propose a novel Hierarchical Hybrid Continuous and Discrete Action (HHCDA) deep reinforcement learning method to solve our problem. Finally, the convergence and computational complexity of the proposed algorithm and its performance analyzed for different parameters. Simulation results show that our proposed HHCDA method decreases the request reject rate and average delay by 31.5% and 20% and increases the energy efficiency by 40% compared to DDPG method.
We design a lightweight beam-searching algorithm for mobile millimeter-wave systems. We construct and maintain a set of path skeletons, i.e., potential paths between a user and the serving base station to substantially expedite the beam-searching process. To exploit the spatial correlations of the channels, we propose an efficient algorithm that measures the similarity of the skeletons and re-executes the beam-searching procedure only when the old one becomes obsolete. We identify and optimize several tradeoffs between: i) the beam-searching overhead and the instantaneous rate of the users, and ii) the number of users and the update overhead of the path skeletons. Simulation results in an outdoor environment with real building map data show that the proposed method can significantly improve the performance of beam-searching in terms of latency, energy consumption and achievable throughout.
