EdgeTuner: Fast Scheduling Algorithm Tuning for Dynamic Edge-Cloud Workloads and Resources

Edge-cloud jobs are rapidly prevailing in many application domains, posing the challenge of using both resource-strenuous edge devices and elastic cloud resources. Efficient resource allocation on such jobs via scheduling algorithms is essential to guarantee their performance, e.g. latency. Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) is increasingly...

Joint channel and Doppler estimation for OSDM underwater acoustic communications

Orthogonal signal-division multiplexing (OSDM) has recently emerged as a promising modulation scheme for underwater acoustic communications. Although providing more flexibility in system design, it suffers from a special interference structure over time-varying channels. To enable reliable OSDM equalization, we propose a joint channel impulse...

Equalization of OSDM over time-varying channels based on diagonal-block-banded matrix enhancement

Orthogonal signal-division multiplexing (OSDM) has recently emerged as a promising alternative to orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) for high-rate wireless communications. Although providing more flexibility in system design, it suffers from a special interference structure, namely inter-vector interference (IVI), when channel...

Iterative Per-Vector Equalization for Orthogonal Signal-Division Multiplexing Over Time-Varying Underwater Acoustic Channels

Orthogonal signal-division multiplexing (OSDM) is a promising modulation scheme that provides a generalized framework to unify orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) and single-carrier frequency-domain equalization. By partitioning each data block into vectors, it allows for a flexible configuration to trade off resource management...

Eigendecomposition-Based Partial FFT Demodulation for Differential OFDM in Underwater Acoustic Communications

Differential orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is practically attractive for underwater acoustic communications since it has the potential to obviate channel estimation. However, similar to coherent OFDM, it may suffer from severe inter-carrier interference over time-varying channels. To alleviate the induced performance...
