In this letter, we address efficient communication and resource allocation for vehicular networks in urban environments. Due to spectrum reuse and rapidly varying interference, joint spectrum allocation and power control become particularly challenging in such scenarios. To tackle this problem, we formulate a system-level optimization framework and propose a multi-agent reinforcement learning approach termed the Predictive Residual Q-Network Method (P-RQNM). An LSTM-based predictor is employed to predict short-term interference from historical observations, while a residual Q-network refines individual Q-values using trajectory statistics to improve decision consistency and contribute to more stable training behavior. Simulation results under urban vehicular scenarios show that P-RQNM outperforms baseline multi-agent value-decomposition methods in terms of link capacity, transmission reliability, and convergence behavior, demonstrating robust performance across diverse traffic densities and loads and practical potential for urban vehicular networks.
In multi-access edge computing (MEC) environments, optimizing task offloading and communication-aware resource allocation is challenging due to dynamic topologies, fluctuating channels, and heterogeneous link capacities. This letter proposes a Graph-Augmented Multi-Agent Proximal Policy Optimization (GA-MAPPO) framework under a centralized training and decentralized execution (CTDE) paradigm. A Master Agent cooperative architecture integrates a Graph Attention Network (GAT) to model dynamic communication dependencies and bandwidth variations among edge nodes. The hybrid action space enables joint optimization of task offloading and transmission resource allocation. Experiments based on mobility and workload traces show that GA-MAPPO improves task completion rate and reduces latency compared with representative baselines, demonstrating its adaptability in dynamic MEC and Internet of Vehicles (IoV) scenarios.
In recent years, the demand for smart healthcare solutions have heightened the need for accuracy, reliability, and comfort in bedside ECG recording and analysis. This study presents a bedside non-direct contact ECG recording system based on capacitive coupling electrocardiography (cECG) and verifies its performance in accurately capturing Heart Rate Variability (HRV) during the night. Firstly, cECG collects ECG data through clothing, avoiding skin irritation from conventional wet electrodes. Secondly, leveraging the unique characteristics of cECG signals, a deep learning framework assesses the quality of cECG, filtering noise and identifying off-bed information, enhancing HRV analysis precision. Subsequently, the system was employed to recording sleep data from 6 subjects overnight, with our proposed algorithm utilized for signal quality assessment (SQA) and HRV analysis. Finally, HRV features were compared with synchronously collected wet electrode ECG signals, encompassing time domain features, frequency domain features, and nonlinear features, totaling 13 HRV features. Experimental findings demonstrate that for the SQA task, the model achieved a classification accuracy of 94.7%, with a Recall of 0.941, Precision of 0.940, F1 score of 0.941, and Cohen's Kappa of 0.927. The accuracy of on/off-bed monitoring reached 99.79%. Additionally, HRV features showed a strong correlation with the reference ECG. In the time-domain metrics, the largest mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) is for PNN50, with a value of 8.148%. In the frequency-domain features, the largest MAPE is for HF, with a value of 13.253%. For nonlinear features, the largest MAPE is for SD1, with a value of 5.182%. Generally, the system exhibited a reliable solution for cECG recording, on/off-bed status detection, and bedside HRV analysis.
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a promising technology garnering significant attention among the Internet of Things (IoT) community due to its superior spectral efficiency. This work addresses the rate region boundary enhancement of downlink NOMA systems under imperfect successive interference cancellation (SIC) with advanced improper Gaussian signaling (IGS), which provides additional degrees of freedom for system design. We investigate a universal scenario in which two users adopt improper signaling and their transmit powers are optimized. We first formulate the achievable rate of both users in terms of the impropriety degree of the IGS. First, the analytical expressions for the best improper transmission are characterized by jointly optimizing the users’ power and the impropriety degree for the perfect SIC case. Then, a deep Q network (DQN)-based approach is provided to find the rate region of the IGS-aided NOMA system under imperfect SIC. Simulations presented for the downlink NOMA system support the analysis, illustrating that IGS can efficiently enhance the rate region of the NOMA system compared to proper signaling.
It is a critical issue for achieving dynamic average consensus (DAC) in the presence of privacy eavesdroppers and false data injection (FDI) attacks, and this scenario is applicable to intelligent transportation systems. A dynamic event-triggered privacy preserving DAC (DET-PPDAC) control scheme is proposed. Firstly, in a privacy-sensitive scene, different time-varying terms are added to communication states by hiding real information from eavesdroppers. An observer and a compensator are designed to construct a control scheme for compensating for the impact of FDI attacks over a channel between a control signal and an actuator. Adaptive auxiliary variables are introduced for compensating for residual errors owing to asymmetric encryption/decryption functions. Dynamic event-triggered conditions are constructed to reduce the number of data as well as the risk of leakage by eavesdroppers, and continuous monitor from neighbors is removed. Our DET-PPDAC control scheme can also be applied to a directed graph. Stability analysis shows that the control scheme finally achieves DAC with bounded errors and Zeno-free behaviors while satisfying the requirement of privacy preservation. Simulation examples with formation of vehicles are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

As an important part of urban intelligent transportation system, predicting users' demand for taxi using offline GPS data has attracted interests in recent years. In general, the distribution of traffic flow in different areas of the urban is different. Furthermore, the characteristics of traffic flow in different location areas present different. Therefore, it is challenging to achieve accurate prediction of users' demand for taxi in different spatiotemporal scenes. This paper presents a combined multi-scale residual calibration network (MS-ResCnet) using residual calibration network and multi-scale fusion mechanism to predict users' demand for taxi. Specifically, mapping rasterization and time series division methods are used to convert vehicular GPS data into spatiotemporal images of traffic flow within continuous sub grid areas. Then, the proximity, periodicity, and tendency, as significant characteristics of spatiotemporal images of traffic flow in each sub grid area are extracted. Thus, we establish a multi-dimensional spatiotemporal characteristic perception scheme of traffic flow in each grid area. Moreover, the datum characteristics and calibration characteristics of spatiotemporal images are extracted through the dual channel ResCnet network. Through the deep stagger training network, the full fusion of multi-scale spatiotemporal characteristics is realized. The performance of MS-ResCnet model is evaluated and verified using public datasets. The simulation results show that the traffic flow prediction performance of MS-ResCnet model is better than that of traditional STAR model. The root mean square error (RMSE) of the proposed method outperform the STAR model around 2.57%.

The driver's emotional state directly affects safe driving. Under the "vehicle-human-road-cloud" integrated control framework, we propose an end-edge-cloud collaborative emotion perception network model (EEC-Net). The end side extracts the key frames of the driver's face video stream and performs batch compression; the edge side extracts the region of interest (ROI) of the reconstructed images as the input of the emotion recognition model (tiny_Xception) for classification; the cloud control terminal receives abnormal ROI image data and performs online training to dynamically adjust the operating parameters of the edge model. Finally, we test on open and self-built datasets, and the results show tiny_Xception has a significant improvement in accuracy of 2.45% compared to mini_Xception; the EEC-Net model can reliably perceive the negative emotion period, and the overall system memory consumption is reduced by about 5%, and the network transmission data volume and the computation time of emotion recognition are reduced by 95%, 60% respectively.
With the rapid growth of users and sustained network demands powered by different industries, the quality of service (QoS) of the cellular network is affected by network traffic and computing loads. The current solutions of QoS improvement in academia focus on the fundamental algorithms within the physical and medium access control (MAC) layer. However, traffic features of various scenarios extracted from field data are rarely addressed for practical network configuration refinement. In this paper, we identify significant indicators of high traffic load cells according to the field data provided by telecommunication operators. Then, we propose the analysis flow of high traffic load cells with basic principles of network configuration refinement for QoS improvement. To demonstrate the proposed analysis flow and the refinement principles, we consider three typical scenarios of high traffic load cells, including high population density, emergency, and high-speed mobility. For each scenario, we discuss traffic features with field data. The corresponding performance evaluation demonstrates that the proposed principle can significantly enhance the network performance and user experience in terms of access success rate, downlink data rate, and number of high traffic load cells.

In order to solve the problem of unmanned aerial Vehicle (UAV) cluster saturation attack, the autonomous maneuver strategy of UAV is studied. Based on the distributed partial observable Markov decision process, the autonomous maneuver decision model of UAV is constructed, and the Recurrent Multi-Agent Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (RMADDPG) is used to learn the maneuver strategy of UAV cluster saturation attack. Combined with the typical characteristics of saturation attack scenario, two reward functions of global reward and local reward for UAV maneuver are designed. The trained UAVs can effectively perform suicide saturation attack task. According to the mission target design evaluation index of saturation attack, the Monte Carlo analysis method is used to compare the proposed method with particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm in three aspects: inter aircraft collision avoidance, NFZ avoidance and simultaneous attack. The experimental results show that the trained UAVs can effectively perform the suicide saturation attack task under the condition of a small amount of communication, which provides a method for the application of multi-agent deep reinforcement learning to UAV cluster operations.

Tag information is of great significance to improve the performance for rating prediction, but the tag extraction in the recommendation system suffers from heterogeneous information fusion. This paper proposes a hybrid tag-aware recommender model (HTRM). First, the word embedding model embeds the score and the label respectively; then, the autoencoder extracts the text feature of the item label and uses the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) to extract the feature of the user label behaviors. The experiments are carried out on the three recognized datasets, namely Last.Fm, Delicious and MovieLens- 20m. Compared with the four algorithms, i.e., TCF, CCF, ACF, and DSPR, the experimental results demonstrate that HTRM significantly outperforms all the baselines.
The SWIPT (simultaneous wireless information and power transfer) DF (decoding and forwarding) relay system could achieve the purpose of both increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. By analysing the system model and transmission characteristics of full-duplex relay, this paper optimizes the retransmission slot structure to enhance the system performance. Firstly, the state transition model is established based on the analysis of the retransmission slot structure. Secondly, the state probability of each state and the transition probability between states are calculated to obtain the total data passing rate, energy transmission efficiency, and total transmission time. Thirdly, in order to compare the performance of various HARQ (hybrid automatic repeat request) schemes more effectively, JNTP (joint normalized throughput of information transmission and energy transmission) is constructed. Monte Carlo simulations finally confirm that the proposed tradeoff-HARQ scheme outperforms the regular-HARQ scheme in terms of JNTP: the performance of the tradeoff-HARQ scheme is 0.03883 higher than that of the regular-HARQ scheme when the total power limit is 20 dB and 0.00651 higher than that of the regular-HARQ scheme when the total power limit is 30 dB.
