Motivated by the prediction of cell loads in cellular networks, we formulate the following new, fundamental problem of statistical learning of geometric marks of point processes: An unknown marking function, depending on the geometry of point patterns, produces characteristics (marks) of the points. One aims at learning this function from the examples of marked point patterns in order to predict the marks of new point patterns. To approximate (interpolate) the marking function, in our baseline approach, we build a statistical regression model of the marks with respect some local point distance representation. In a more advanced approach, we use a global data representation via the scattering moments of random measures, which build informative and stable to deformations data representation, already proven useful in image analysis and related application domains. In this case, the regression of the scattering moments of the marked point patterns with respect to the non-marked ones is combined with the numerical solution of the inverse problem, where the marks are recovered from the estimated scattering moments. Considering some simple, generic marks, often appearing in the modeling of wireless networks, such as the shot-noise values, nearest neighbour distance, and some characteristics of the Voronoi cells, we show that the scattering moments can capture similar geometry information as the baseline approach, and can reach even better performance, especially for non-local marking functions. Our results motivate further development of statistical learning tools for stochastic geometry and analysis of wireless networks, in particular to predict cell loads in cellular networks from the locations of base stations and traffic demand.

Implementing federated learning (FL) algorithms in wireless networks has garnered a wide range of attention. However, few works have considered the impact of user mobility on the learning performance. To fill this research gap, firstly, we develop a
theoretical model to characterize the hierarchical federated learning (HFL) algorithm in wireless networks where the mobile users may roam across multiple edge access points, leading to incompletion of inconsistent FL training. Secondly, we provide the convergence analysis of HFL with user mobility. Our analysis proves that the learning performance of HFL deteriorates drastically with highly-mobile users. And this decline in the learning performance will be exacerbated with small number of participants and large data distribution divergences among local data of users. To circumvent these issues, we propose a mobility-aware cluster federated learning (MACFL) algorithm by redesigning the access mechanism, local update rule and model aggregation scheme. Finally, we provide experiments to evaluate the learning performance of HFL and our MACFL. The results show that our MACFL can enhance the learning performance, especially for three different cases, namely, the case of users with non-independent and identical distribution data, the case of users with high mobility, and the cases with a small number of users.
This paper provides a systematic and comprehensive survey that reviews the latest research efforts focused on machine learning (ML) based performance improvement of wireless networks, while considering all layers of the protocol stack (PHY, MAC and n
etwork). First, the related work and paper contributions are discussed, followed by providing the necessary background on data-driven approaches and machine learning for non-machine learning experts to understand all discussed techniques. Then, a comprehensive review is presented on works employing ML-based approaches to optimize the wireless communication parameters settings to achieve improved network quality-of-service (QoS) and quality-of-experience (QoE). We first categorize these works into: radio analysis, MAC analysis and network prediction approaches, followed by subcategories within each. Finally, open challenges and broader perspectives are discussed.
Wireless communication systems operate in complex time-varying environments. Therefore, selecting the optimal configuration parameters in these systems is a challenging problem. For wireless links, emph{rate selection} is used to select the optimal d
ata transmission rate that maximizes the link throughput subject to an application-defined latency constraint. We model rate selection as a stochastic multi-armed bandit (MAB) problem, where a finite set of transmission rates are modeled as independent bandit arms. For this setup, we propose Con-TS, a novel constrained version of the Thompson sampling algorithm, where the latency requirement is modeled by a high-probability linear constraint. We show that for Con-TS, the expected number of constraint violations over T transmission intervals is upper bounded by O(sqrt{KT}), where K is the number of available rates. Further, the expected loss in cumulative throughput compared to the optimal rate selection scheme (i.e., the egret is also upper bounded by O(sqrt{KT log K}). Through numerical simulations, we demonstrate that Con-TS significantly outperforms state-of-the-art bandit schemes for rate selection.
In federated learning (FL), reducing the communication overhead is one of the most critical challenges since the parameter server and the mobile devices share the training parameters over wireless links. With such consideration, we adopt the idea of
SignSGD in which only the signs of the gradients are exchanged. Moreover, most of the existing works assume Channel State Information (CSI) available at both the mobile devices and the parameter server, and thus the mobile devices can adopt fixed transmission rates dictated by the channel capacity. In this work, only the parameter server side CSI is assumed, and channel capacity with outage is considered. In this case, an essential problem for the mobile devices is to select appropriate local processing and communication parameters (including the transmission rates) to achieve a desired balance between the overall learning performance and their energy consumption. Two optimization problems are formulated and solved, which optimize the learning performance given the energy consumption requirement, and vice versa. Furthermore, considering that the data may be distributed across the mobile devices in a highly uneven fashion in FL, a stochastic sign-based algorithm is proposed. Extensive simulations are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
Monte Carlo (MC) dropout is one of the state-of-the-art approaches for uncertainty estimation in neural networks (NNs). It has been interpreted as approximately performing Bayesian inference. Based on previous work on the approximation of Gaussian pr
ocesses by wide and deep neural networks with random weights, we study the limiting distribution of wide untrained NNs under dropout more rigorously and prove that they as well converge to Gaussian processes for fixed sets of weights and biases. We sketch an argument that this property might also hold for infinitely wide feed-forward networks that are trained with (full-batch) gradient descent. The theory is contrasted by an empirical analysis in which we find correlations and non-Gaussian behaviour for the pre-activations of finite width NNs. We therefore investigate how (strongly) correlated pre-activations can induce non-Gaussian behavior in NNs with strongly correlated weights.
