Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Artificial intelligence (AI), especially deep learning (DL), is becoming a key enabler for solving a broad range of problems, such as network management and optimization, multiple access, coding, signal detection, and channel feedback, from the physical layer to the application layer in wireless communication systems. Emerging communication technologies, such as semantic communications, integrated sensing and communications (ISC), and reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS), have brought new challenges and research opportunities for the design and optimization of the functional modules in wireless communications, and DL can play a vital role in these new scenarios. For example, semantic communication is a new end-to-end communication paradigm based on the powerful data-processing ability of DL, and it has shown exciting noise-resilience capability compared with conventional communication schemes. On the other hand, AI as a service (AIaaS) will be an essential functionality in future wireless networks to meet the growing demand for AI services for both the user side and the network side. In future years, we expect DL techniques will have a significant impact on the design and management of wireless communications systems, but DL for wireless communication is still in its infancy, and its advantages compared to conventional communication schemes still need to be explored.

Offloading computation-intensive tasks to mobile edge computing (MEC) servers, such as road-side units (RSUs) and a base station (BS), can enhance the computation capacities of the vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication system. In this work, we study an MEC-assisted multi-vehicle V2X communication system in which multi-antenna RSUs with liner receivers and a multi-antenna BS with a zero-forcing (ZF) receiver work as MEC servers jointly to offload the tasks of the vehicles. To control the energy consumption and ensure the delay requirement of the V2X communication system, an energy consumption minimization problem under a delay constraint is formulated. The multi-agent deep reinforcement learning (MADRL) algorithm is proposed to solve the non-convex energy optimization problem, which can train vehicles to select the beneficial server association, transmit power and offloading ratio intelligently according to the reward function related to the delay and energy consumption. The improved K-nearest neighbors (KNN) algorithm is proposed to assign vehicles to the specific RSU, which can reduce the action space dimensions and the complexity of the MADRL algorithm. Numerical simulation results show that the proposed scheme can decrease energy consumption while satisfying the delay constraint. When the RSUs adopt the indirect transmission mode and are equipped with matched-filter (MF) receivers, the proposed joint optimization scheme can decrease the energy consumption by 56.90% and 65.52% compared to the maximum transmit power and full offloading schemes, respectively. When the RSUs are equipped with ZF receivers, the proposed scheme can decrease the energy consumption by 36.8% compared to the MF receivers. Full article

Due to the open nature of the wireless channel, wireless networks are vulnerable to jamming attacks. In this paper, we try to solve the anti-jamming problem caused by smart jammers, which can adaptively adjust the jamming channel and the jamming power. The interaction between the legitimate transmitter and the jammers is modeled as a non-zero-sum game. Considering that it is challenging for the transmitter and the jammers to acquire each other’s information, we propose two anti-jamming communication schemes based on the Deep Q-Network (DQN) algorithm and hierarchical learning (HL) algorithm to solve the non-zero-sum game. Specifically, the DQN-based scheme aims to solve the anti-jamming strategies in the frequency domain and the power domain directly, while the HL-based scheme tries to find the optimal mixed strategies for the Nash equilibrium. Simulation results are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed schemes. It is shown that the HL-based scheme has a better convergence performance and the DQN-based scheme has a higher converged utility of the transmitter. In the case of a single jammer, the DQN-based scheme achieves 80% of the transmitter’s utility of the no-jamming case, while the HL-based scheme achieves 63%. Full article
