User Scheduling in Massive MIMO: A Joint Deep Learning and Genetic Algorithm Approach
No full textDue to the limited number of radio frequency (RF) chains in millimeter wave (mmWave) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) receivers using analog beamforming/hybrid beamforming, there is a restriction in scheduling the number of users in each transmission time interval. Therefore, fast and low-complexity user scheduling methods based on the instantaneous channel state information (CSI) are needed. In this paper, we propose novel user scheduling methods based on deep learning (DL) to reduce the size of the search space by using the learning capability of a deep neural network (DNN). We formulate the user scheduling combinatorial optimization problem as a regression problem followed by a user separation procedure through decision boundaries that are learned by a trained DNN. The decision boundaries are used to separate the users into two subsets. Then, one of the subsets is selected to be searched to find the users that maximize the sum-rate capacity. The proposed method can achieve a very low outage probability with a few number of searches. In order to achieve ergodic capacity with lower computation complexity, the proposed method is employed in combination with the genetic algorithm (GA) algorithm to take advantage of intelligent initial population selection. Our simulation results show that the proposed user scheduling methods can offer remarkably low complexity.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Signal Processing System
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
A Communication Theoretic Analysis of Synaptic Channels under Axonal Noise [Article]
Get PDFMolecular communication is an emerging communication technology for applications requiring nanoscale networks. Transferring vital information about external and internal conditions of the body through the nervous system is an important type of intra-body molecular nanonetworks. Thus, investigating the performance of such systems from the communication theoretic perspective gives us insight on the limitation of neuro-spike communication and ways to design artificial neural systems. In this letter, we study the performance of the neuro-spike communication under different stochastic impairments such as axonal shot noise, synaptic noise, and random vesicle release. The objective is to optimally detect the spikes at the receiving neuron. Since several uncertainties occur under each hypothesis, composite hypothesis is employed to find the optimum detection policy. Furthermore, we obtain closed-form solutions for the optimal detector and derive the binary decision error at the postsynaptic terminal
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
