Multi-MEC Cooperation Based VR Video Transmission and Cache using K-Shortest Paths Optimization

In recent network architectures, multi-MEC cooperative caching has been introduced to reduce the transmission latency of VR videos, in which MEC servers' computing and caching capability are utilized to optimize the transmission process. However, many solutions that use the computing capability of MEC servers ignore the additional arithmetic power consumed by the codec process, thus making them infeasible. Besides, the minimum cache unit is usually the entire VR video, which makes caching inefficient. To address these challenges, we split VR videos into tile files for caching based on the current popular network architecture and provide a reliable transmission mechanism and an effective caching strategy. Since the number of different tile files N is too large, the current cooperative caching algorithms do not cope with such large-scale input data. We further analyze the problem and propose an optimized k-shortest paths (OKSP) algorithm with an upper bound time complexity of O((K * M + N) * M * logN)), and suitable for shortest paths with restricted number of edges, where K is the total number of tiles that all M MEC servers can cache in the collaboration domain. And we prove the OKSP algorithm can compute the caching scheme with the lowest average latency in any case, which means the solution given is the exact solution. The simulation results show that the OKSP algorithm has excellent speed for solving large-scale data and consistently outperforms other caching algorithms in the experiments.

A Manifold-based Airfoil Geometric-feature Extraction and Discrepant Data Fusion Learning Method

Geometrical shape of airfoils, together with the corresponding flight conditions, are crucial factors for aerodynamic performances prediction. The obtained airfoils geometrical features in most existing approaches (e.g., geometrical parameters extraction, polynomial description and deep learning) are in Euclidean space. State-of-the-art studies showed that curves or surfaces of an airfoil formed a manifold in Riemannian space. Therefore, the features extracted by existing methods are not sufficient to reflect the geometric-features of airfoils. Meanwhile, flight conditions and geometric features are greatly discrepant with different types, the relevant knowledge of the influence of these two factors that on final aerodynamic performances predictions must be evaluated and learned to improve prediction accuracy. Motivated by the advantages of manifold theory and multi-task learning, we propose a manifold-based airfoil geometric-feature extraction and discrepant data fusion learning method (MDF) to extract geometric-features of airfoils in Riemannian space (we call them manifold-features) and further fuse the manifold-features with flight conditions to predict aerodynamic performances. Experimental results show that our method could extract geometric-features of airfoils more accurately compared with existing methods, that the average MSE of re-built airfoils is reduced by 56.33%, and while keeping the same predicted accuracy level of CL, the MSE of CD predicted by MDF is further reduced by 35.37%.

A Multi-Characteristic Learning Method with Micro-Doppler Signatures for Pedestrian Identification

The identification of pedestrians using radar micro-Doppler signatures has become a hot topic in recent years. In this paper, we propose a multi-characteristic learning (MCL) model with clusters to jointly learn discrepant pedestrian micro-Doppler signatures and fuse the knowledge learned from each cluster into final decisions. Time-Doppler spectrogram (TDS) and signal statistical features extracted from FMCW radar, as two categories of micro-Doppler signatures, are used in MCL to learn the micro-motion information inside pedestrians' free walking patterns. The experimental results show that our model achieves a higher accuracy rate and is more stable for pedestrian identification than other studies, which make our model more practical.

A Vehicles Control Model to Alleviate Traffic Instability

While bringing convenience to people, the growing number of vehicles on road already cause inevitable traffic congestion. Some traffic congestion happen with observable reasons, but others occur without apparent reasons or bottlenecks, which referred to as phantom jams, are caused by traditional vehicle following model. In order to alleviate the traffic instability caused by phantom jam, several models have been proposed with the development of intelligent transportation system (ITS). these have been proved to be able to suppress traffic instability in the ideal situation. But in road scenarios, uncertainties of vehicle state measurements and time delay caused by on-board sensors, inter-vehicle communications and control system of vehicles will affect the performance of the existing models severely, and cannot be ignored. In this paper, a novel predictable bilateral control model-PBCM, which consists of best estimation and state prediction is proposed to determine accurate acceleration values of the host vehicle in traffic flow to alleviate traffic instability. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that our model could reduce the influence of the measurement errors and the delay caused by communication and control system effectively, control the state of the vehicles in traffic flow accurately, thus achieve the goal of restrain the instability of traffic flow.

Flow Field Reconstructions with GANs based on Radial Basis Functions

Nonlinear sparse data regression and generation have been a long-term challenge, to cite the flow field reconstruction as a typical example. The huge computational cost of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) makes it much expensive for large scale CFD data producing, which is the reason why we need some cheaper ways to do this, of which the traditional reduced order models (ROMs) were promising but they couldn't generate a large number of full domain flow field data (FFD) to realize high-precision flow field reconstructions. Motivated by the problems of existing approaches and inspired by the success of the generative adversarial networks (GANs) in the field of computer vision, we prove an optimal discriminator theorem that the optimal discriminator of a GAN is a radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) while dealing with nonlinear sparse FFD regression and generation. Based on this theorem, two radial basis function-based GANs (RBF-GAN and RBFC-GAN), for regression and generation purposes, are proposed. Three different datasets are applied to verify the feasibility of our models. The results show that the performance of the RBF-GAN and the RBFC-GAN are better than that of GANs/cGANs by means of both the mean square error (MSE) and the mean square percentage error (MSPE). Besides, compared with GANs/cGANs, the stability of the RBF-GAN and the RBFC-GAN improve by 34.62% and 72.31%, respectively. Consequently, our proposed models can be used to generate full domain FFD from limited and sparse datasets, to meet the requirement of high-precision flow field reconstructions.
