In blockchain networks, transactions can be transmitted through channels. The existing transmission methods depend on their routing information. If a node randomly chooses a channel to transmit a transaction, the transmission may be aborted due to insufficient funds(also called balance) or a low transmission rate. To increase the success rate and reduce transmission delay across all transactions, this work proposes a transaction transmission model for blockchain channels based on non-cooperative game *** balance, channel states, and transmission probability are fully considered. This work then presents an optimized channel transaction transmission algorithm. First, channel balances are analyzed and suitable channels are selected if their balance is sufficient. Second, a Nash equilibrium point is found by using an iterative sub-gradient method and its related channels are then used to transmit transactions. The proposed method is compared with two state-of-the-art approaches: Silent Whispers and Speedy Murmurs. Experimental results show that the proposed method improves transmission success rate, reduces transmission delay,and effectively decreases transmission overhead in comparison with its two competitive peers.

This paper deals with a cooperation communication problem (relay selection and power control) for mobile underwater acoustic communication networks. To achieve satisfactory transmission capacity, we propose a reinforcement-learning-based cooperation communication scheme to efficiently resist the highly dynamic communication links and strongly unknown time-varying channel states caused by the mobility of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs). Firstly, a particular Markov decision process is developed to model the dynamic relay selection process of mobile AUV in the unknown scenario. In the developed model, an experimental statistical-based partition mechanism is proposed to cope with the greatly increasing dimension of the state space caused by the mobility of AUV, reducing the search optimization difficulty. Secondly, a dual-thread reinforcement learning structure with actual and virtual learning threads is proposed to efficiently track the superior relay action. In the actual learning thread, the proposed improved probability greedy policy enables the AUV to strengthen the exploration for the reward information of potential superior relays on the current state. Meanwhile, in the virtual learning thread, the proposed upper-confidence-bound-index-based uncertainty estimation method can estimate the action-reward level of historical states. Consequently, the combination of actual and virtual learning threads can efficiently obtain satisfactory Q value information, thereby making superior relay decision-making in a short time. Thirdly, a power control mechanism is proposed to reuse the current observed action-reward information and transform the multiple unknown parameter nonlinear joint power optimization problem into a convex optimization problem, thereby enhancing network transmission capacity. Finally, simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. IEEE

The quality of the airwe breathe during the courses of our daily lives has a significant impact on our health and well-being as ***,personal air quality measurement remains *** this study,we investigate the use of first-person photos for the prediction of air *** main idea is to harness the power of a generalized stacking approach and the importance of haze features extracted from first-person images to create an efficient new stacking model called AirStackNet for air pollution *** consists of two layers and four regression models,where the first layer generates meta-data fromLight Gradient Boosting Machine(Light-GBM),Extreme Gradient Boosting Regression(XGBoost)and CatBoost Regression(CatBoost),whereas the second layer computes the final prediction from the meta-data of the first layer using Extra Tree Regression(ET).The performance of the proposed AirStackNet model is validated using public Personal Air Quality Dataset(PAQD).Our experiments are evaluated using Mean Absolute Error(MAE),Root Mean Square Error(RMSE),Coefficient of Determination(R2),Mean Squared Error(MSE),Root Mean Squared Logarithmic Error(RMSLE),and Mean Absolute Percentage Error(MAPE).Experimental Results indicate that the proposed AirStackNet model not only can effectively improve air pollution prediction performance by overcoming the Bias-Variance tradeoff,but also outperforms baseline and state of the art models.
