scholarly journals Towards More Reliable Deep Learning-Based Link Adaptation for WiFi 6

The problem of selecting the modulation and coding scheme (MCS) that maximizes the system throughput, known as link adaptation, has been investigated extensively, especially for IEEE 802.11 (WiFi) standards. Recently, deep learning has widely been adopted as an efficient solution to this problem. However, in failure cases, predicting a higher-rate MCS can result in a failed transmission. In this case, a retransmission is required, which largely degrades the system throughput. To address this issue, we model the adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) problem as a multi-label multi-class classification problem. The proposed modeling allows more control over what the model predicts in failure cases. We also design a simple, yet powerful, loss function to reduce the number of retransmissions due to higher-rate MCS classification errors. Since wireless channels change significantly due to the surrounding environment, a huge dataset has been generated to cover all possible propagation conditions. However, to reduce training complexity, we train the CNN model using part of the dataset. The effect of different subdataset selection criteria on the classification accuracy is studied. The proposed model adapts the IEEE 802.11ax communications standard in outdoor scenarios. The simulation results show the proposed loss function reduces up to 50% of retransmissions compared to traditional loss functions.

Finally, we propose an optimal subdataset selection criterion.

Because COVID-19 occurred in 2019, the behavioxr of humans has been changed and it will influence the business model of enterprise. Enterprise cannot predict its development according to past knowledge and experiment; so, it needs a new machine learning framework to predict enterprise performance. The goal of this research is to modify AdaBoost to reasonably predict the enterprise performance. In order to justify the usefulness of the proposed model, enterprise data will be collected and the proposed model can be used to predict the enterprise performance after COVID-19. The test data correct rate of the proposed model will be compared with some of the traditional machine learning models. Compared with the traditional AdaBoost, back propagation neural network (BPNN), regression classifier, support vector machine (SVM) and support vector regression (SVR), the proposed method possesses the better classification ability (average correct rate of the proposed method is 88.04%) in handling two classification problems. Compared with traditional AdaBoost, one-against-all SVM, one-against-one SVM, one-against-all SVR and one-against-one SVR, the classification ability of the proposed method is also relatively better for coping with the multi-class classification problem. Finally, some conclusions and future research will be discussed at the end.

The paper describes an online deep learning algorithm for the adaptive modulation and coding in 5G Massive MIMO. The algorithm is based on a fully connected neural network, which is initially trained on the output of the traditional algorithm and then is incrementally retrained by the service feedback of its output. We show the advantage of our solution over the state-of-the-art Q-Learning approach. We provide system-level simulation results to support this conclusion in various scenarios with different channel characteristics and different user speeds. Compared with traditional OLLA our algorithm shows 10% to 20% improvement of user throughput in full buffer case. <br>

This paper addresses the issue of wireless bandwidth partitioning of a Mobile WiMAX cell. The authors consider a Complete Partitioning strategy, where the wireless bandwidth capacity of a cell is divided into trunks. Each partition is strictly reserved to a particular type of connection. Four IEEE 802.16e 2005 service classes are distinguished: UGS, rtPS, nrtPS, and ErtPS. The authors consider mobility and differentiate new call request from handoffs. In addition, the authors take into consideration the Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) scheme, through the partition of the cell into different areas associated to a particular modulation and coding scheme. The purpose of the paper is to determine, using an analytical model and a heuristic approach, the nearly optimal sizes of the partition sizes dedicated to each type of connection, which is characterized by its service class, type of request and modulation, and coding scheme.
