Learn to Optimize Resource Allocation under QoS Constraint of AR

This paper studies the uplink and downlink power allocation for interactive augmented reality (AR) services, where live video captured by an AR device is uploaded to the network edge and then the augmented video is subsequently downloaded. By modeling the AR transmission process as a tandem queuing system, we derive an upper bound for the probabilistic quality of service (QoS) requirement concerning end-to-end latency and reliability. The resource allocation with the QoS constraints results in a functional optimization problem. To address it, we design a deep neural network to learn the power allocation policy, leveraging the structure of optimal power allocation to enhance learning performance. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method effectively reduces transmit powers while meeting the QoS requirement.

ICI-Free Channel Estimation and Wireless Gesture Recognition Based on Cellular Signals

Device-free wireless sensing attracts enormous attentions since it senses the environment without additional devices. While cellular signals are good opportunistic radio sources, the influence of inter-cell interference (ICI) on wireless sensing has not been adequately addressed. In this letter, we first investigate the cause of ICI and its impact on wireless sensing. Then we propose an ICI-free channel estimation method by reconstructing the broadcast signals of adjacent cells and solving simultaneous equations. Wireless gesture recognition can be greatly benefited by ICI mitigation. Finally, we build a prototype system to receive the commercial 4G-LTE signals, and demonstrate the accuracies of wireless gesture recognition under various conditions.
