Speech Title:Multistatic localization in the Absence of Transmitter Positions

Abstract: Multistatic localization, involving one or several transmitters actively sending out signals to locate an object from its echo, is widely used in practical systems. This talk presents some results for the multistatic localization problem in absence of transmitter positions. For the problem of locating a stationary object in the absence of transmitter positions, we propose a semidefinite relaxation (SDR) method for joint estimation of the object and transmitter positions using time delay (TD) measurements from both indirect and direct paths. Moreover, we present some key theoretical results for the performance of the proposed method. Furthermore, we introduce a calibration object to address the multistatic localization problem in the absence of synchronizations between the transmitter and receivers and among the receivers. For this challenging problem, we propose a three-step estimation method to jointly estimate the transmitter position, synchronization errors, and object position. Theoretical analysis is conducted to validate the performance of the proposed method.

Speech Title: Dynamic Resource Allocation for Indoor VLC/WiFi Heterogeneous Network Based on Q-learning

Abstract: The rapid increase in user data traffic has led to conventional single radio frequency (RF) wireless communication no longer meeting user demand. Light-emitting diode (LED) visible light communication (VLC) can also not meet the communication demand due to its over-reliance on line-of-sight transmission. The heterogeneity of visible light networks and traditional RF networks can meet user demand well. However, because the communication link limits LED optical communication, the traditional resource allocation algorithm can no longer meet user demand and system utilisation. This paper addresses the issue by proposing a joint method for channel detection and access based on Q-learning multi-agent and a dynamic strategy for bandwidth adjustment for fixed channels. This approach resolves the issue of multiple users frequently switching links. It optimises the VLC communication constrained by the communication link using the benchmark the user transmits in the optimal channel link. Simulation results show that the proposed strategy dramatically improves the system's throughput, utilisation and user fairness compared with the traditional link-switching method with fixed bandwidth.

Speech Title: Research on Networking Protocols and Emulation Testbed for Large-Scale LEO Satellite Constellations

Abstract: LEO satellites offer several advantages over GEO/MEO satellites in terms of communication latency, construction costs, network robustness, and capacity scalability. However, due to dynamic topology changes, large network scales, and resource constraints on satellites, the design of LEO satellite network protocols faces numerous challenges. Specifically, these include route calculation under dynamic inter-satellite topologies, routing convergence in ultra-large constellations, network addressing for satellite constellations and ground nodes, and mobility handover in dynamic space-ground topologies. To address these issues, the report will share methods for designing LEO satellite networking protocols, including: 1) A hybrid orbit prediction shortest path priority routing protocol. 2) A stable routing generation algorithm for the dynamic topologies of LEO satellite networks. 3) A lightweight flooding mechanism for LEO satellite networks. 4) A mobility management protocol for LEO satellite networks based on identity and location separation. Additionally, considering that ground emulation testbeds can help verify networking protocols on the ground before satellites are launched, effectively reducing trial-and-error costs, the report will also share experiences in building large-scale satellite network emulation systems.

Speech Title: Research on Trustworthy Communication and Information Security Networking for Multi-Traffic Entity Interoperability

Abstract: Current traffic communication systems prioritize optimizing communication quality over the utility of multi-entity interoperability, and there is a dearth of research on trustworthy communication for such interoperability. This presentation tackles the multi-need analysis and the construction of a trustworthy communication network oriented towards the interoperability of multiple traffic entities. It deeply analyzes the disordered interconnectivity issues stemming from cross-entity application demands in complex traffic scenarios and establishes a hierarchical communication architecture that supports large-scale distributed collaboration among groups, facilitating dynamic information interaction aligned with the interoperability needs of heterogeneous entities. Drawing on the interoperability business scenarios of multiple traffic entities, a collaborative network architecture involving humans, vehicles, roads, networks, edges, and clouds is established. The research delves into the resilient modeling of trustworthy communication with high entity collaboration, achieving the mapping and resolution of communication networking demands oriented towards interoperability intentions in complex traffic scenarios. The study also explores trustworthy communication technologies such as high-credibility multi-attribute physical layer authentication and vehicle-road-cloud collaborative intrusion detection and security defense, culminating in the construction of an information security architecture tailored to interoperability demands.

Speech Title: Gated Recurrent Unit-Based Network Traffic Prediction for Load Balance

Abstract: To improve the reasonable allocation of network resources, and reduce service interruption or overwhelming delay for software-defined networking (SDN) due to excessive network load, this paper proposes a network load balancing scheme based on gated recurrent units (GRU) aiming at optimizing load balancing strategies. First, a link prediction and priority adjustment model is constructed to describe the network load balance optimization problem. Second, a GRU-based network traffic prediction algorithm is proposed to capture network traffic features. Specifically, a graph convolution network (GCN) is utilized to learn the spatial features in the network topology, and GRU is used to capture the long-term dependencies in the traffic data sequences. Finally, a logical ordering and threshold filtering strategy is designed to achieve priority ordering of links and determine the preferred links for services to improve network load balancing. The experimental results show that the GRU-based network traffic prediction algorithm exhibits 3% higher prediction accuracy compared to the existing baseline methods, and the network load balancing scheme based on GRU performs 4x network load balancing.

Abstract: Polarization manipulation based on the cascaded waveplates model shared similar underlying mathematical structures with the robot arm kinematics. We successfully developed the polarization kinetic control theory based on linearization and designed improved control algorithms based on the Jacobian matrix of the control model. The theory enabled endless polarization tracking of an arbitrary polarization state without any control signal resetting with low computational complexity. We achieved a record 100 krad/s tracking speed when applying the algorithm to a thin-film LiNbO3-based device. The theory applied to all waveplate types, and we pinpointed the exact cases in which the control singularities would occur. Moreover, we developed polarization scrambling models within the same theoretical framework, demonstrating improved controllability regarding scrambling speed and probability distribution of the polarization state.

Speech Title: Laser Diode-Based high speed optical wireless communication and high CRI Solid State Lighting

Abstract: Gallium nitride (GaN) phosphor-converted white light-emitting diodes (Pc-WLEDs) are emerging as an indispensable solid-state lighting (SSL) source for next-generation display systems and the lighting industry. Together with the function of lighting, visible light communication (VLC) using Pc-WLEDs has gained increasing attention to fulfill the growing demand for wireless data communication. Over the past few years, white-light-emitting diodes have been used for both high-speed visible light communication and solid-state lighting simultaneously. Practically, the low modulation response and low emitting intensity of light-emitting diodes (LED) are the drawbacks to the development of ultrahigh-speed VLC and a high-quality SSL system. Blue GaN laser diode (LD) and color convertor quantum dots-based white light can simultaneously be used for both high-speed VLC and SSL.
