DeepHSIC: Deep Learning-based Signal Detector for Hybrid Downlink IM-NOMA

DeepHSIC is introduced as a neural receiver for hybrid downlink IM-NOMA transmission. The considered scheme combines power-domain NOMA with a composite OFDM/OFDM-IM waveform, so that user information is mapped jointly onto constellation symbols, subcarrier-index patterns, and different power levels. Although maximum-likelihood detection can achieve strong reliability for this model, its search space grows rapidly with the number of users and subcarriers. Conventional SIC reduces part of this burden, but its sequential cancellation may still accumulate errors and does not fully exploit the structure of IM-NOMA signals. To address this limitation, the proposed detector embeds dedicated deep neural network modules into the receiver and replaces the most computationally demanding SIC operations with learned inference blocks. The receiver is trained for Rayleigh fading channels and uses preprocessed channel-output features to recover user symbols. Simulation results show that DeepHSIC reaches BER performance close to model-based detectors under both perfect and imperfect CSI while requiring substantially lower detection time. These results indicate that learned SIC-style detection is a practical candidate for scalable hybrid downlink IM-NOMA receivers.

Seeing Through WiFi: Lightweight Human Pose Estimation with Dynamic Kernel Attention

WiFi-based human pose estimation (HPE) enables the detection and interpretation of human body positions and movements without the need for wearable devices while preserving individual privacy concerns. Implementing this solution requires enhancing model performance and maintaining efficiency, especially on resource-constrained devices. This paper introduces a novel framework, WiLHPE, for lightweight and efficient human pose estimation using WiFi CSI signals. Empowered by a camera-based model during training, WiLHPE processes raw WiFi signals directly to estimate human poses in the testing phase. It employs a novel neural network architecture to dynamically learn convolutional kernels and apply attention mechanisms across channel and frequency spaces. This innovative method diversifies the kernels to improve the recognition capabilities of WiFi signals without adding complexity, ensuring efficiency. Additionally, the Tree-Structured Parzen Estimator algorithm is employed to optimize the critical hyperparameters of the neural network efficiently, minimizing the time required for optimal hyperparameter search compared to heuristic methods. Results from experiments on both the MM-Fi and WiPose datasets highlight the superiority of WiLHPE over state-of-the-art approaches, achieving 85.96% and 94.27% at PCK50, respectively, with minimal computational overhead. Notably, WiLHPE performs impressively even under challenging conditions, maintaining around 80% at PCK50 under AWGN noise with an error variance of 0.5.

Joint Service Placement and Resource Optimization in Hierarchical Edge-Cloud Networks

Hierarchical edge-cloud computing-aided Internet of Things (IoT) networks offer low-latency and cost-efficient services to a growing number of data-intensive IoT devices. However, optimizing service placement, which involves determining the most suitable locations within a network to deploy various services, is critical to balancing workloads dynamically and ensuring efficient resource utilization. In this paper, we jointly optimize service placement, edge/cloud cooperation, task offloading, and bandwidth allocation to enhance processing efficiency and response times. The main objective is to minimize both the overall end-to-end latency and the system cost, including service deployment and operational costs. The formulated problem belongs to the class of non-convex mixed-integer nonlinear programming, where finding a feasible solution is already challenging. Towards a stable system, we first transform the original problem into a more tractable form and then decompose it into sub-problems which are solved at different timescales. Combining tools from relaxation and the successive convex approximation method, we develop iterative algorithms to solve these problems efficiently. With an appropriate penalty parameter, the proposed algorithms guarantee convergence to at least a local optimum. We produce extensive numerical results to demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed algorithms over benchmark schemes as well as emphasize the significance of the joint service placement and resource allocation in enhancing system performance and efficiency.
