In this paper, we investigate cost-aware joint learning and optimization for multi-channel opportunistic spectrum access in a cognitive radio system. We investigate a discrete time model where the time axis is partitioned into frames. Each frame consists of a sensing phase, followed by a transmission phase. During the sensing phase, the user is able to sense a subset of channels sequentially before it decides to use one of them in the following transmission phase. We assume the channel states alternate between busy and idle according to independent Bernoulli random processes from frame to frame. To capture the inherent uncertainty in channel sensing, we assume the reward of each transmission when the channel is idle is a random variable. We also associate random costs with sensing and transmission actions. Our objective is to understand how the costs and reward of the actions would affect the optimal behavior of the user in both offline and online settings, and design the corresponding opportunistic spectrum access strategies to maximize the expected cumulative net reward (i.e., reward-minus-cost). We start with an offline setting where the statistics of the channel status, costs and reward are known beforehand. We show that the the optimal policy exhibits a recursive double threshold structure, and the user needs to compare the channel statistics with those thresholds sequentially in order to decide its actions. With such insights, we then study the online setting, where the statistical information of the channels, costs and reward are unknown a priori. We judiciously balance exploration and exploitation, and show that the cumulative regret scales in O(log T). We also establish a matched lower bound, which implies that our online algorithm is order-optimal. Simulation results corroborate our theoretical analysis.

An opportunistic spectrum access (OSA) for the infrastructure-less (or cognitive ad-hoc) network has received significant attention thanks to emerging paradigms such as the Internet of Things (IoTs) and smart grids. Research in this area has evolved
from the r{ho}rand algorithm requiring prior knowledge of the number of active secondary users (SUs) to the musical chair (MC) algorithm where the number of SUs are unknown and estimated independently at each SU. These works ignore the number of collisions in the network leading to wastage of power and bring down the effective life of battery operated SUs. In this paper, we develop algorithms for OSA that learn faster and incurs fewer number of collisions i.e. energy efficient. We consider two types of infrastructure-less decentralized networks: 1) static network where the number of SUs are fixed but unknown, and 2) dynamic network where SUs can independently enter or leave the network. We set up the problem as a multi-player mult-armed bandit and develop two distributed algorithms. The analysis shows that when all the SUs independently implement the proposed algorithms, the loss in throughput compared to the optimal throughput, i.e. regret, is a constant with high probability and significantly outperforms existing algorithms both in terms of regret and number of collisions. Fewer collisions make them ideally suitable for battery operated SU terminals. We validate our claims through exhaustive simulated experiments as well as through a realistic USRP based experiments in a real radio environment.
Owing to the ever-increasing demand in wireless spectrum, Cognitive Radio (CR) was introduced as a technique to attain high spectral efficiency. As the number of secondary users (SUs) connecting to the cognitive radio network is on the rise, there is
an imminent need for centralized algorithms that provide high throughput and energy efficiency of the SUs while ensuring minimum interference to the licensed users. In this work, we propose a multi-stage algorithm that - 1) effectively assigns the available channel to the SUs, 2) employs a non-parametric learning framework to estimate the primary traffic distribution to minimize sensing, and 3) proposes an adaptive framework to ensure that the collision to the primary user is below the specified threshold. We provide comprehensive empirical validation of the method with other approaches.
Cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) communication, as a part of 5G wireless communication, has been considered one of the most significant techniques for Smart City. Vehicles platooning is an application of Smart City that improves traffic capacit
y and safety by C-V2X. However, different from vehicles platooning travelling on highways, C-V2X could be more easily eavesdropped and the spectrum resource could be limited when they converge at an intersection. Satisfying the secrecy rate of C-V2X, how to increase the spectrum efficiency (SE) and energy efficiency (EE) in the platooning network is a big challenge. In this paper, to solve this problem, we propose a Security-Aware Approach to Enhancing SE and EE Based on Deep Reinforcement Learning, named SEED. The SEED formulates an objective optimization function considering both SE and EE, and the secrecy rate of C-V2X is treated as a critical constraint of this function. The optimization problem is transformed into the spectrum and transmission power selections of V2V and V2I links using deep Q network (DQN). The heuristic result of SE and EE is obtained by the DQN policy based on rewards. Finally, we simulate the traffic and communication environments using Python. The evaluation results demonstrate that the SEED outperforms the DQN-wopa algorithm and the baseline algorithm by 31.83 % and 68.40 % in efficiency. Source code for the SEED is available at https://github.com/BandaidZ/OptimizationofSEandEEBasedonDRL.
Cooperative beamforming across access points (APs) and fronthaul quantization strategies are essential for cloud radio access network (C-RAN) systems. The nonconvexity of the C-RAN optimization problems, which is stemmed from per-AP power and frontha
ul capacity constraints, requires high computational complexity for executing iterative algorithms. To resolve this issue, we investigate a deep learning approach where the optimization module is replaced with a well-trained deep neural network (DNN). An efficient learning solution is proposed which constructs a DNN to produce a low-dimensional representation of optimal beamforming and quantization strategies. Numerical results validate the advantages of the proposed learning solution.
Network management often relies on machine learning to make predictions about performance and security from network traffic. Often, the representation of the traffic is as important as the choice of the model. The features that the model relies on, a
nd the representation of those features, ultimately determine model accuracy, as well as where and whether the model can be deployed in practice. Thus, the design and evaluation of these models ultimately requires understanding not only model accuracy but also the systems costs associated with deploying the model in an operational network. Towards this goal, this paper develops a new framework and system that enables a joint evaluation of both the conventional notions of machine learning performance (e.g., model accuracy) and the systems-level costs of different representations of network traffic. We highlight these two dimensions for two practical network management tasks, video streaming quality inference and malware detection, to demonstrate the importance of exploring different representations to find the appropriate operating point. We demonstrate the benefit of exploring a range of representations of network traffic and present Traffic Refinery, a proof-of-concept implementation that both monitors network traffic at 10 Gbps and transforms traffic in real time to produce a variety of feature representations for machine learning. Traffic Refinery both highlights this design space and makes it possible to explore different representations for learning, balancing systems costs related to feature extraction and model training against model accuracy.
