Bitcoin is the world’s most traded cryptocurrency and highly popular among cryptocurrency investors and miners. However, its volatility makes it a risky investment, which leads to the need for accurate and fast price-prediction models. This article proposes a Bitcoin price-prediction model using a long short-term memory (LSTM) network in a distributed environment. A tensor processing unit (TPU) has been used to provide the distributed environment for the model. The results show that the TPU-based model performed significantly better than a conventional CPU-based model.

Unmanned aerial vehicles as base stations (UAV-BSs) are recognized as effective means for tackling eruptive communication service requirements especially when terrestrial infrastructures are unavailable. Quality of service (QoS) received by ground terminals (GTs) highly depends on the spatial movement of UAV-BSs. In this paper, we investigate the cooperative trajectory design problem of multiple UAV-BSs towards fair throughput maximization of GTs. Considering the restriction of coverage and sensing, we first propose a heterogeneous-graph-based formulation of relations between GTs and UAV-BSs. Subsequently, we design a framework named graph vision and communication (GVis&Comm) to 1) let each UAV-BS efficiently manage time-varying local observations;2) facilitate cooperation between UAV-BSs through explicit information exchange. To further reduce the overhead of over-the-air cooperation, we realize discretization of the message passing process among UAV-BSs while still enabling end-to-end training. By leveraging multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL), UAV-BSs as agents learn a distributed trajectory design policy. Extensive numerical simulation shows that our framework on the one hand achieves remarkable efficiency in processing local observations of each UAV-BS, and on the other improves the overall network performance via close cooperation among UAV-BSs.

The emerging of computer vision based methods provides the capacity to detect and quantify the structural damages efficiently. Moreover, the integration of high-performance sensors in the mobile phone allows for the efficient acquisition of multi-source heterogeneous data of damages such as images, locations, etc. This study proposed a computer vision and crowd sensing based method to detect and quantify structural cracks for the distributed in-service bridges. A previously established crowd sensing system was employed to acquire bridge structural cracks and the corresponding locations, which is consisted of a mobile application (APP) and the cloud management platform. As many as 15 volunteers were mobilized to use the APP to collect the multi-source heterogeneous data of cracks from in-service bridges, which consists of 223 crack images, covering 5 typical bridge structural components, i.e., the guardrails, the road surfaces, the beam undersides, the abutments and the piers. Then, the classic U-Net model was trained to segment the crack regions from the image background. Finally, an image skeleton-based processing method was proposed to acquire the pixel size of the cracks for quantitative evaluation. Testing results show that for images with a resolution of 256 x 256 pixels, the crack width is within 10 pixels, while the crack length ranges from 200 to 500 pixels, the error compared to the actual value is within 5 %. Crack images from different scenarios were used to test the applicability of the proposed method. This study provides a novel method to alleviate the demand for professional inspection engineers and vehicles, and validates the feasibility of the proposed method in practical application.

An integrated space-terrestrial network based on the ultradense low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellite constellations has been envisioned in both 5G and beyond 5G (B5G) networks. This approach is a powerful solution to some key challenges from Internet of Things (IoT) services, such as the lack of link capacity to deal with large data transfer or coverage in the remote areas. This article focuses on the beamforming design for the transmissions from multiple LEO satellites, equipped with massive phased array antenna, to a large number of heterogeneous terrestrial terminals. Superposition coding-based beamforming is efficient in dealing with the receiver heterogeneity, but at the cost of higher computational complexity. Based on the dual decomposition theory as well as deep neuralnetworks (DNNs), this article proposes to combine the nonlinear approximation ability of DNNs with distributed algorithms. This combination not only supports advanced nonorthogonal beamforming algorithms for achieving superior throughput performance, but also keeps the overall computational complexity low and enables the beamforming process to be speed up dramatically through parallel computing.

This paper presents a decentralised signal classification approach for data acquired using Internet of Things (IoT) wearable sensors. Traditionally, data from IoT sensors are processed in a centralised fashion, and in a single node. This approach has several limitations, such as high energy consumption on the edge sensor, longer response times, etc. We present a distributedprocessing approach for convolutional neuralnetwork (CNN) based classifiers where a single CNN model can be split into multiple sub-networks using early exits. To reduce the transfer of large feature maps between sub-networks, we introduced an encoder-decoder pair at the exit points. processing of inputs that can be classified with high confidence at an exit point will be terminated early, without needing to traverse the entire network. The initial sub-networks can be deployed on the edge to reduce sensor energy consumption and overall complexity. We also experimented with multiple exit point locations and show that the point of exit can be adjusted for trade-offs between complexity and performance. The proposed system can achieve a sensitivity of 98.45% and an accuracy of 97.55% for electrocardiogram (ECG) classification and save 60% of the data transmitted wirelessly while reducing 38.45% of the complexity.
