Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

recently, a new paradigm emerged from the confluence of networking, computing devices, sensor units, and artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Transformative computing leverages the cross-fertilization between computers, sensors, communication, and AI systems to propose a radically new vision to tackle the interactions between humans, machines and environment with energy-efficient and environmental-aware constraints. This Special Issue encourages authors from academia and industry to submit manuscripts on novel technologies for wireless communication and sensing scenarios. The Special Issue topics include but are not limited to:

Cloud-edge technologies for distributed sensor applications;
mm-Wave, sub-THz and THz radio technologies for advanced wireless communication and sensor networks;
Applications of wireless communication and sensor processing in smart spaces, smart living and Industry 4.0 scenarios;
Radio-access technologies for low-latency and high-reliability wireless sensor networks for industrial applications;
Beyond 5G (B5G) technologies for radio communication and sensing networks;
Multi-spectral and multi-domain processing techniques for robust wireless sensor systems;
Green communication and computing for Beyond 5G (B5G) networks;
Novel sensor technologies for energy-aware distributed wireless devices;
Machine and deep learning technologies for wireless communication and sensing applications.

D2D Social Selection Relay Algorithm Combined with Auction Principle

by Hairui Wang, Yijun Wang, Luping Tang and Yongqiang Xia

Abstract

In a D2D (device-to-device) communication system, this paper proposes a relay selection strategy based on social perception. Firstly, the social threshold is introduced into the D2D relay network to screen and filter the potential relay users, thus effectively reducing the detection cost. Then, an auction algorithm is used to motivate the relay users to increase their transmission power. The simulation results show that the algorithm not only improves the throughput but also reduces the probability of a system outage. Full article

Surrogate-Model-Based Interval Analysis of Spherical Conformal Array Antenna with Power Pattern Tolerance

by Guangda Ding, Peng Li, Paolo Rocca, Jiantao Chang and Wanye Xu

Abstract

A method based on an interval arithmetic is proposed to analyze uncertain factors such as the curvature radii, excitation amplitude, and excitation phase of a spherical conformal array antenna. An interval description of element factors under different curvature radii of spherical substrates is established using the surrogate model based on the data obtained through a full-wave analysis method. The interval formula of the spherical curvature radius and array element position error is derived and the effects of the spherical radius tolerance, excitation amplitude tolerance, and excitation phase tolerance on the antenna power pattern are studied. To evaluate the effectiveness and reliability of the proposed method, a set of representative numerical results are reported and discussed and a comparison with the Monte Carlo methods and full-wave simulation is described. This method can be widely used during the antenna design and before the antenna prototyping/manufacturing to predict the effects, on the radiation performance, of possible errors/tolerances in the antenna structure to guarantee the antenna working ‘in operation’.
