Game-theoretic Learning Anti-jamming Approaches in Wireless Networks

In this article, the anti-jamming communication problem is investigated from a game-theoretic learning perspective. By exploring and analyzing intelligent anti-jamming communication, we present the characteristics of jammers and the requirements of an intelligent anti-jamming approach. Such approach is required of self-sensing, self-decision making, self-coordination, self-evaluation, and learning ability. Then, a game-theoretic learning anti-jamming (GTLAJ) paradigm is proposed, and its framework and challenges of GTLAJ are introduced. Moreover, through three cases, i.e., Stackelberg anti-jamming game, Markov anti-jamming game and hypergraph-based anti-jamming game, different anti-jamming game models and applications are discussed, and some future directions are presented.

Distributed Extended Object Tracking Information Filter Over Sensor Networks

This work aims to design a distributed extended object tracking (EOT) system over a realistic network, where both the extent and kinematics are required to retain consensus within the entire network. To this end, we resort to the multiplicative error model (MEM) that allows the extent parameters of perpendicular axis-symmetric objects to have individual uncertainty. To incorporate the MEM into the information filter (IF) style, we use the moment-matching technique to derive two pair linear models with only additive noise. The separation is merely in a fashion, and the cross-correlation between states is preserved as parameters in each other's model. As a result, the closed-form expressions are transferred into an alternating iteration of two linear IFs. With the two models, a centralized IF is proposed wherein the measurements are converted into a summation of innovation parts. Later, under a sensor network with the communication nodes and sensor nodes, we present two distributed IFs through the consensus on information and consensus on measurement schemes, respectively. Moreover, we prove the estimation errors of the proposed filter are exponentially bounded in the mean square. The benefits are testified by numerical experiments in comparison to state-of-the-art filters in literature.
