In this paper, a covert semantic communication framework is proposed for image transmission over wireless networks. In the proposed framework, devices extract and selectively transmit semantic information of image data to a base station (BS). The semantic information consists of the objects in the image and a set of attributes of each object. A warden selects a device to detect and eavesdrops the semantic information. To ensure the security of semantic communications, a jammer, acts as the defender, requires to find a vulnerable device and transmits jamming signals to the vulnerable device. The metric to measure the performance of the covert semantic communications is defined as the difference in the average accuracy of the BS and the warden answering a set of questions for each image. To maximize the performance of covert semantic communications, each device and the jammer must jointly optimize their transmit power, determine the vulnerable device to be protected, and determine the partial semantic information that each device needs to transmit. To solve this problem, we propose a multi-agent policy gradient (MAPG) algorithm. The proposed algorithm enables each device and the jammer to cooperatively discover the vulnerable devices as well as find the semantic information transmission and power control policies that maximize the performance of the covert semantic communication system. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can improve the communication performance by up to 14.5% compared to the independent reinforcement learning.

One of the most effective approaches to satisfying the requirements of the next generation of wireless services is non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). Spectrum efficiency and average capacity are two aspects of wireless communication that have become increasingly important as the number of mobile services in use has increased. Using both traditional MIMO and Massive MIMO (M-MIMO), this study proposes two new methods for increasing the average capacity of a 5G network's downlink (DL) NOMA power domain (PD) in conjunction with a Cooperative Cognitive Radio Network (CCRN). The initial method involves NOMA users competing for available rivalry channels (R-CH) on the CCRN. The second technique creates a dedicated channel (D-CH) for NOMA users. The MATLAB program is utilized to evaluate the proposed methods in three scenarios with varying distances, power location coefficients, and transmission power. Successive interference cancellation (SIC) and unstable channel conditions are also considered while assessing the analysis of the proposed system under the assumption of Rayleigh fading. Using DL NOMA PD systems, The results reveal that the higher average capacity of best at transmit power DL NOMA with CCRN (dedicated channel) improved U4 average capacity performance by M-MIMO DL NOMA with CCRN (D-CH) improved by when compared with convention DL NOMA. Formulas in closed form were found for average capacity. The resulting formulas are verified using a Monte Carlo simulation.

Kernelized canonical correlations analysis has been utilized as a means to carry out unsupervised data clustering. This work puts forth a method to obtain a non-linear mapping that transforms data to a feature space where the data has the potential to be more ‘linearly’ correlated. An auto encoder network is employed to minimize a reconstruction error and learn a proper non-linear mapping to transform the input data. The non-linear mapping found via the novel scheme goes beyond kernel functions and results in better clustering performance than linear and kernel-based canonical correlations as demonstrated by numerical tests conducted across two different data sets.

In this paper, we carry out finite-sample analysis of decentralized Q-learning algorithms in the tabular setting for a significant subclass of general-sum stochastic games (SGs) – weakly acyclic SGs, which includes potential games and Markov team problems as special cases. In the practical while challenging decentralized setting, neither the rewards nor the actions of other agents can be observed by each agent. In fact, each agent can be completely oblivious to the presence of other decision makers. In this work, the sample complexity of the decentralized tabular Q-learning algorithm in [1] to converge to a Markov perfect equilibrium is developed.
As inverter-based generation becomes more common in distribution networks, it is important to create models for use in optimization-based problems that accurately represent their non-linear behavior when saturated. Th...

Since light field simultaneously records spatial information and angular information of light rays, it is considered to be beneficial for many potential applications, and semantic segmentation is one of them. The regular variation of image information across views facilitates a comprehensive scene understanding. However, in the case of limited memory, the high-dimensional property of light field makes the problem more intractable than generic semantic segmentation, manifested in the difficulty of fully exploiting the relationships among views while maintaining contextual information in single view. In this paper, we propose a novel network called LF-IENet for light field semantic segmentation. It contains two different manners to mine complementary information from surrounding views to segment central view. One is implicit feature integration that leverages attention mechanism to compute inter-view and intra-view similarity to modulate features of central view. The other is explicit feature propagation that directly warps features of other views to central view under the guidance of disparity. They complement each other and jointly realize complementary information fusion across views in light field. The proposed method achieves outperforming performance on both real-world and synthetic light field datasets, demonstrating the effectiveness of this new architecture.
