Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) in Networking: A Comprehensive Survey & Evaluation

Despite the recency of their conception, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) constitute an extensively researched machine learning sub-field for the creation of synthetic data through deep generative modeling. GANs have consequently been applied in a number of domains, most notably computer vision, in which they are typically used to generate or transform synthetic images. Given their relative ease of use, it is therefore natural that researchers in the field of networking (which has seen extensive application of deep learning methods) should take an interest in GAN-based approaches. The need for a comprehensive survey of such activity is therefore urgent. In this paper, we demonstrate how this branch of machine learning can benefit multiple aspects of computer and communication networks, including mobile networks, network analysis, internet of things, physical layer, and cybersecurity. In doing so, we shall provide a novel evaluation framework for comparing the performance of different models in non-image applications, applying this to a number of reference network datasets.

Using Synthetic Data to Enhance the Accuracy of Fingerprint-Based Localization: A Deep Learning Approach

Human-centered data collection is typically costly and implicates issues of privacy. Various solutions have been proposed in the literature to reduce this cost, such as crowdsourced data collection, or the use of semi-supervised algorithms. However, semi-supervised algorithms require a source of unlabeled data, and crowd-sourcing methods require numbers of active participants. An alternative passive data collection modality is fingerprint-based localization. Such methods use received signal strength (RSS) or channel state information (CSI) in wireless sensor networks to localize users in indoor/outdoor environments. In this paper, we introduce a novel approach to reduce training data collection costs in fingerprint-based localization by using synthetic data. Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are used to learn the distribution of a limited sample of collected data and, following this, to produce synthetic data that can be used to augment the real collected data in order to increase overall positioning accuracy. Experimental results on a benchmark dataset show that by applying the proposed method and using a combination of 10% collected data and 90% synthetic data, we can obtain essentially similar positioning accuracy to that which would be obtained by using the full set of collected data. This means that by employing GAN-generated synthetic data, we can use 90% less real data, thereby reduce data-collection costs while achieving acceptable accuracy.

Imposing various boundary conditions on positive definite kernels

This work is motivated by the frequent occurrence of boundary value problems with various boundary conditions in the modeling of some problems in engineering and physical science. Here we propose a new technique to force the positive definite kernels such as some radial basis functions to satisfy the boundary conditions exactly. It can improve the applications of existing methods based on positive definite kernels and radial basis functions especially the pseudospectral radial basis function method for handling the differential equations with more complicated boundary conditions. The proposed method is applied to a singularly perturbed steady-state convection-diffusion problem, two and three dimensional Poisson's equations with various boundary conditions.

A reproducing kernel Hilbert space approach in meshless collocation method

In this paper we combine the theory of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces with the field of collocation methods to solve boundary value problems with special emphasis on reproducing property of kernels. From the reproducing property of kernels we proposed a new efficient algorithm to obtain the cardinal functions of a reproducing kernel Hilbert space which can be apply conveniently for multidimensional domains. The differentiation matrices are constructed and also we drive pointwise error estimate of applying them. In addition we prove the nonsingularity of collocation matrix. The proposed method is truly meshless and can be applied conveniently and accurately for high order and also multidimensional problems. Numerical results are presented for the several problems such as second and fifth order two point boundary value problems, one and two dimensional unsteady Burgers equations and a parabolic partial differential equation in three dimensions. Also we compare the numerical results with those reported in the literature to show the high accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method
