Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence and its learning, and adaption paradigms are providing an effective solution in engineering applications.  ML has the ability to adapt to new conditions and to detect and estimate patterns. Several applications of ML to communications and electronics exist already. These include, among others, Gaussian processes, support vector machines, nearest neighbors, extreme learning machines, evolutionary algorithms (EAs), decision trees, random forests, artificial neural networks (ANNs), and deep learning networks (DNNs). Key enabling technologies for communications and electronics are being increasingly impacted by the utilization of all the aforementioned models. Hybrid combinations of ML algorithms and other approaches are also becoming more common.

This Special Issue aims to publish extended versions of papers in machine learning communications and electronics. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

  • Machine learning techniques for wireless communications;
  • Machine learning techniques for propagation modeling;
  • Machine learning techniques for antenna design;
  • Machine learning techniques for other EM problems;
  • Machine learning techniques for 5G networks and beyond;
  • Machine learning techniques for VLSI design;
  • Machine Learning techniques for signal processing;
  • Machine Learning techniques for music processing;
  • Machine Learning techniques for leakage detection problems;
  • Machine Learning techniques for wired and wireless networks;
  • ML techniques for biomedical applications and wireless monitoring;
  • Surrogate models for antenna design problems;
  • Other innovative ML techniques;
  • Explainable ML for communications and electronics.

Vehicle to everything (V2X) is widely regarded as a critical application for future wireless communication networks. In V2X, large relative speeds between vehicles may severely deteriorate the performance of communication between vehicles. Orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation, which converts time- and frequency-selective channels into non-selective channels in the delay-Doppler (DD) domain, provides a solution for establishing reliable wireless communications in V2X scenarios. However, in the complex multi-scattering scenarios, the channel also suffers from a serious inter-Doppler interference (IDI) problem, which poses a great challenge to the accurate demodulation of OTFS receiver signals. To address the above problems, this paper considers the variation of Doppler sampling points within one symbol when deriving the channel model, which effectively overcomes the IDI problem, and employs a basis expansion model (BEM) to convert the channel estimation into a sparse recovery problem for the basis coefficients. In addition, to better utilize the sparse nature of the OTFS channel, a generalized approximate message passing-sparse Bayesian learning (GAMP-SBL)-based algorithm is employed to estimate the basis coefficients of the channel. The complexity of this algorithm is greatly reduced compared to the conventional SBL algorithm. Finally, system simulation results are reported to verify the superiority of the proposed scheme.
