Direction of arrival (DOA) estimation, as the main technology of passive radio monitoring and positioning, has been deeply investigated. However, the DOA for distributed sources is challenging to estimate in environments with impulsive noise. Although many methods have been proposed for DOA estimation, most of them assume that array output signals contain Gaussian noise. Therefore, the performance of these methods is often poor for alpha-stable distributed impulsive noise. Furthermore, subspace-based DOA estimation methods for distributed sources require a two-dimensional (2D) peak search, which increases the consumption of system computing resources. In this paper, a Q-function-based kernel function is proposed, and its properties are derived. On this basis, a novel DOA estimation method is proposed for coherently distributed (CD) sources in impulsive noise. To reduce computational complexity, a Lagrangian quadratic optimization function is derived by approximating the generalized array manifold of the CD source. By solving this optimization function, a 2D peak search can be reduced to several one-dimensional (1D) peak searches. The simulation results illustrate that the accuracy and robustness of the proposed method outperform those of existing methods.

Point set registration aims to find a spatial transformation that best aligns two point sets. algorithms which can handle partial overlap and are invariant to the corresponding transformations are particularly desirable. To this end, we first reduce the objective of the robust point matching (RPM) algorithm to a function of a low dimensional variable. The resulting function is nevertheless only concave over a finite region including the feasible region, which prohibits the use of the popular branch-and-bound (BnB) algorithm. To address this issue, we propose to use the polyhedral annexation (PA) algorithm for optimization, which enjoys the merit of only operating within the concavity region of the objective function. The proposed algorithm does not need regularization on transformation and thus is invariant to the corresponding transformation. It is also approximately globally optimal and thus is guaranteed to be robust. Moreover, its most computationally expensive subroutine is a linear assignment problem which can be efficiently solved. Experimental results demonstrate better robustness of the proposed method over the state-of-the-art algorithms. Our method's matching error is on average 44% (resp. 65%) lower than that of Go-ICP in 2D (resp. 3D) synthesized tests. It is also efficient when the number of transformation parameters is small.

In this article, a parallel structured divide-and-conquer (PSDC) eigensolver is proposed for symmetric tridiagonal matrices based on ScaLAPACK and a parallel structured matrix multiplication algorithm, called PSMMA. Computing the eigenvectors via matrix-matrix multiplications is the most computationally expensive part of the divide-and-conquer algorithm, and one of the matrices involved in such multiplications is a rank-structured Cauchy-like matrix. By exploiting this particular property, PSMMA constructs the local matrices by using generators of Cauchy-like matrices without any communication, and further reduces the computation costs by using a structured low-rank approximation algorithm. Thus, both the communication and computation costs are reduced. Experimental results show that both PSMMA and PSDC are highly scalable and scale to 4096 processes at least. PSDC has better scalability than PHDC that was proposed in [16] and only scaled to 300 processes for the same matrices. Comparing with PDSTEDC in ScaLAPACK, PSDC is always faster and achieves 1.4x-1.6x speedup for some matrices with few deflations. PSDC is also comparable with ELPA, with PSDC being faster than ELPA when using few processes and a little slower when using many processes.

The recent introduction of SDN allows deploying new centralized network algorithms that dramatically improve network operations. In such algorithms, the centralized controller obtains a network-wide view by merging measurement data from Network Measurement Points (NMPs). A fundamental challenge is that several NMPs may count the same packet, reducing the accuracy of the measurement. Existing solutions circumvent this problem by assuming that each packet traverses a single NMP or that the routing is fixed and known. This work suggests novel algorithms for three fundamental network-wide measurement problems without making any assumptions on the topology and routing and without modifying the underlying traffic. Specifically, this work introduces two algorithms for estimating the number of (distinct) packets or byte volume in the measurement, estimating per-flow packet and byte counts, and finding the heavy hitter flows. Our work includes formal accuracy guarantees and an extensive evaluation consisting of the realistic fat-tree topology and three real network traces. Our evaluation shows that our algorithms outperform existing works and provide accurate measurements within reasonable space parameters.

The study of Service Function Chains (SFCs) placement problem is crucial to support services flexibly and use resources efficiently. Solutions should satisfy various Quality of Service requirements, avoid edge resource congestion, and improve service acceptance ratio (SAR). This work presents a novel approach to address these challenges by solving a multi-objective SFCs placement problem based on the Pointer Network in multi-layer edge and cloud networks. We design a Deep Reinforcement Learning algorithm, called Chebyshev-assisted Actor-Critic SFCs Placement Algorithm, to overcome the limitations of traditional heuristic and evolutionary algorithms. Then, we run this algorithm iteratively with a set of weights to obtain non-dominated fronts, which have much higher hypervolume values than those obtained from other state-of-the-art algorithms. Moreover, running our algorithm individually with selected weights from non-dominated fronts can avoid edge resource congestion and achieve 98% SARs of low-latency services during high-workload periods. Finally, based on both simulation and real testbed experimental results, it is validated that the proposed algorithm fits for pragmatic service deployment while achieving 100% of SARs in the use cases deployed on the testbed.
