Demand-Aware Cooperative Transmission Design for Energy-Efficient LEO Satellite Networks

Low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks are envisioned as a promising solution for providing ubiquitous connectivity and narrowing the digital divide. The extensive footprint of LEO satellite constellations enables broad coverage, resulting in spatially non-uniform traffic demand across the serviced areas. Meanwhile, stringent on-board power constraints make power-intensive transmission architectures less attractive and motivate energy-efficient transmission strategies that effectively exploit scarce satellite network resources. To this end, this paper proposes a cooperative transmission framework that jointly accounts for non-uniform traffic demand and network-wide power consumption. Each LEO satellite integrates hybrid precoding (HPC), radio frequency (RF) chain activation, and hardware quantization, while user-equipment (UE)-centric satellite clusters are organized using statistical channel state information (sCSI) and traffic demands. A framework for joint optimization of cooperative transmission architecture and resource allocation is designed to maximize demand-aware energy efficiency (EE), resulting in a mixed-integer nonlinear program (MINLP) for which finding a globally optimal solution is generally intractable. Accordingly, a two-stage algorithm is developed under a distributed linear precoding structure, in which a modified cross-entropy (CE) method searches over discrete variables, while fractional programming is employed for transmit power allocation. Numerical results indicate that the proposed framework outperforms benchmark schemes while accounting for traffic demands and EE.

Domain Adaptive Transfer Attack (DATA)-based Segmentation Networks for Building Extraction from Aerial Images

Semantic segmentation models based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have gained much attention in relation to remote sensing and have achieved remarkable performance for the extraction of buildings from high-resolution aerial images. However, the issue of limited generalization for unseen images remains. When there is a domain gap between the training and test datasets, CNN-based segmentation models trained by a training dataset fail to segment buildings for the test dataset. In this paper, we propose segmentation networks based on a domain adaptive transfer attack (DATA) scheme for building extraction from aerial images. The proposed system combines the domain transfer and adversarial attack concepts. Based on the DATA scheme, the distribution of the input images can be shifted to that of the target images while turning images into adversarial examples against a target network. Defending adversarial examples adapted to the target domain can overcome the performance degradation due to the domain gap and increase the robustness of the segmentation model. Cross-dataset experiments and the ablation study are conducted for the three different datasets: the Inria aerial image labeling dataset, the Massachusetts building dataset, and the WHU East Asia dataset. Compared to the performance of the segmentation network without the DATA scheme, the proposed method shows improvements in the overall IoU. Moreover, it is verified that the proposed method outperforms even when compared to feature adaptation (FA) and output space adaptation (OSA).
