Speech Title: Analysis of Offshore
Propagation Characteristics of Oscillating Magnet based Mechanical Antenna
Abstract: The offshore surface propagation characteristics of an Oscillating
Magnet Based Mechanical Antenna (OMBMA) is analyzed in this paper. The
equivalent oscillating magnetic dipole model of OMBMA is analyzed, and the
Sommerfeld expression of the electromagnetic radiation field of the
vibration magnetic dipole is given. The semi-infinite two-layer dielectric
propagation model of the horizontal vibration magnetic source under the sea
surface is established. The propagation path of the electromagnetic field
and the field strength at the receiving point are analyzed theoretically.
Finally, the propagation characteristics of OMBMA with the operating
frequency of 1000Hz near the sea surface are verified by simulation. It is
found that when the sum of the depth of the receiving point and the source
point is fixed, the attenuation characteristics of the radiation field
intensity are the same at different depths of the source point or the
receiving point. When the distance between the receiving and the source
points exceeds a certain horizontal distance, the magnetic field intensity
at the receiving point will decrease rapidly.

Speech Title: Energy-Age Tradeoff for Status Update
Communications Systems
Abstract: Age-of-Information (AoI), or simply age, which measures the data
freshness, is essential for real-time Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications.
On the other hand, energy saving is urgently required by many
energy-constrained IoT devices. This work studies the energy-age tradeoff
for status update from a sensor to a monitor over an error-prone channel.
The sensor can sleep, sense and transmit a new update, or retransmit by
considering both sensing energy and transmit energy. An infinite-horizon
average cost problem is formulated as a Markov decision process (MDP) with
the objective of minimizing the weighted sum of average AoI and average
energy consumption. By solving the associated discounted cost problem and
analyzing the Markov chain under the optimal policy, we prove that there
exists a threshold optimal stationary policy with only two thresholds, i.e.,
one threshold on the AoI at the transmitter (AoIT) and the other on the AoI
at the receiver (AoIR). Moreover, the two thresholds can be efficiently
found by a line search. Numerical results show the performance of the
optimal policies and the tradeoff curves with different parameters.
Comparisons with the conventional policies show that considering sensing
energy is of significant impact on the policy design, and introducing sleep
mode greatly expands the tradeoff range.

Speech Title: Resource Scheduling for NOMA-based Mobile
Phones and IoT Fusion Satellite Network
Abstract: With the advent of 5G, wireless communication has greatly changed
people's lifestyles. However, limited by the coverage of terrestrial
cellular networks, the demand for communication services of mobile phones in
remote areas is difficult to be met. In order to meet the large coverage and
quality of service (QoS) requirements of mobile phones, we consider a
non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)-based mobile phones and internet of
things (IoT) fusion satellite network. In this network, low earth orbit
(LEO) satellite can significantly enlarge the coverage while NOMA and IoT
further improve the utilization efficiency of resources. Aiming at
maximizing the QoS satisfaction rate of mobile phones and the sum rate of
internet of things devices, we formulate a joint optimization problem
considering NOMA user grouping, inter-group power allocation and intra-group
power allocation. To tackle the problem, we design a QoS priority joint
optimization algorithm based on proximal policy optimization (Q-PPO). The
experimental results show that the proposed Q-PPO algorithm always has
considerable performance in QoS satisfaction rate and sum rate of internet
of things devices.

Speech Title: Nonlinear Precoding for Mobile
Phone-Satellite direct connection under Non-Terrestrial Network
Abstract: The Global communications ecosystem believes satellite-based
communications to be an important part of 5G-Advanced and 6G. The 3rd
Generation partnership project (3GPP) has officially started researching on
integrating satellite communications with 5G new Radio (NR) techniques
titled “non-terrestrial network”. Multi-beam mobile satellite system has a
great potential in providing broadband mobile services over a large area to
achieve a high system throughput, which is considered as a typical
communication scenario in 3GPP NTN. Whenever multibeam satellite systems
target to very aggressive frequency reuse in their coverage area, inter-beam
interference becomes the major obstacle for increasing the overall system
throughput. In this talk, we will introduce the nonlinear precoding
technology as one of the most potential solutions to the interference
mitigation problem in NTN. The discussion include: the linear and non-linear
precoding technologies comparison, a novel nonlinear algorithm named List
encoding of Vector Perturbation Precoding (LVP) we have developed for NTN
mobile phone-satellite direct connect communication，and also some progress
we have made recently in hardware testbed implementation.

Speech Title: End-to-end Delay in TSN-aided Integrated
Sensing and Communication Networks: An Analysis Framework
Abstract: In this report, we provide a spatial-temporal analysis framework
for large-scale distributed TSN aided Integrated Sensing and Communication
network （ISAC）. Delay-sensitive sensing tasks, which may also be stochastic
and entangled with communications, can be randomly performed in a large area
and then the data are wirelessly collected and then delivered to the
datacenter/processors via Time Sensitive Networks (TSN). While the TSN can
provide latency bound data transmitting services via i.e., IEEE 802.1 Qbv
gate-controlled mechanism, the end-to-end delay violation probability is
mainly decided by the random sensing and wireless communication process.
However, the fluctuating wireless channel environment and indescribable
spatial distribution of sensing devices make it hard to characterize and
guarantee the end-to-end quality of service requirements even
stochastically. We will introduce a framework to analyze the delay upper
bound for the integrated wireless-TSN via stochastic network calculus
approach. Specifically, Poisson cluster process is utilized to capture the
spatial distribution of data gathering centers and wireless sensing and
forwarding devices, and to derive the Laplace transform of interference
suffered by the data gatherer device of interest. The end-to-end upper
bounds for the delay violation probability are established by exploiting SNC
with the Mellin transform of signal-to-interference ratio. This work can be
a guidance framework for modeling and analysis of large-scale integrated
networks, such as large scale industrial networks.

Speech Title: Resource allocation based on deep
reinforcement learning for LEO beam-hopping system
Abstract: This speech introduces a resource allocation algorithm based on
deep reinforcement learning for LEO beam-hopping system. Firstly, an
optimization problem with the goal of minimizing the queuing delay of data
packets is established. Then LEO satellite is modeled as an intelligent
agent, reads the data packet on board buffer state for each beam position.
After state reconstruction, a DQN network is designed to train data.
Finally, the intelligent agent formulates a beam-hopping resource allocation
plan. The simulation results show that, compared with traditional methods,
the resource allocation algorithm based on deep reinforcement learning can
reduce the queuing delay of data packets and improve the system throughput,
and can adapt to the uneven distribution of traffic.
