We study the problem of base station (BS) dynamic switching for energy efficient design of fifth-generation (5G) cellular networks and beyond. We formulate this problem as a Markov decision process (MDP) and use an approximation method known as policy rollout to solve it. This method employs Monte Carlo sampling to approximate the Q-value. In this paper, we introduce a novel approach to design an energy-efficient BS control algorithm. We design an MDP-based algorithm to control the ON/OFF switching of BSs in real time; we exploit user mobility and location information in the selection of the optimal control actions. We start our formulation with the simple case of one-user one-ON. We then gradually and systematically extend this formulation to the multiuser multi-ON scenario. Simulation results show the potential of our novel approach of exploiting user mobility information within the MDP framework to achieve significant energy savings while providing quality-of-service guarantees.

Performance Study of Distance-Weighting Approach with Loopy Sum-Product Algorithm for Multi-Object Tracking in Clutter

Pranav U. Damale, Edwin K. P. Chong, Tian J. Ma

Summary: This paper investigates the performance of tracking multiple objects in clutter, discussing the problem of data association and different methods such as PDA, JPDA, and LSPA. Despite expectations, the study finds that incorporating a distance-weighting approach into PDA does not enhance the performance of LSPA in terms of tracking accuracy or computation time.

Bayesian Learning of Occupancy Grids

Christopher Robbiano, Edwin K. P. Chong, Mahmood R. Azimi-Sadjadi, Louis L. Scharf, Ali Pezeshki

Summary: This paper introduces a new Bayesian framework for generating probabilities of occupancy grids without assuming statistical independence between grid cells' occupancy states, achieving analytical tractability through the use of binary asymmetric channel models. Results demonstrate that the proposed framework outperforms the classical formulation in identifying occupancy grids with lower false alarm and miss detection rates, requiring fewer observations to accurately estimate occupancy probabilities.

Summary: This paper presents a low-cost, camera-based system for autonomous gait acquisition and analysis in mice, which can accurately detect footfalls and calculate various gait parameters. The system was validated in a study on mice with Parkinson's disease, showing almost perfect detection accuracy. The results align with existing literature, demonstrating the practical feasibility of the system as a gait analysis tool.

Wiener Filter Approximations Without Covariance Matrix Inversion

Pranav U. Damale, Edwin K. P. Chong, Louis L. Scharf

Summary: In this article, the problem of ill-conditioning in the Wiener filter is addressed. Four approximate Wiener filter formulas are developed using a truncation technique based on the principal components of a composite covariance matrix. These approximate filters do not directly involve the inverse of the observation covariance matrix, ensuring their reliability and stability. An asymptotic analysis is also presented to show that the approximate filter formulas converge to the Wiener filter as certain approximating terms vanish. Real data is used to evaluate the performance and computation time of the filters, showing that the approximate filters have stable performance with less computation even when the covariance matrix is ill-conditioned.

Design of Autonomous UAV Guidance System Using Monte Carlo Tree Search

Apichart Vasutapituks, Edwin K. P. Chong

Summary: This paper proposes an online path-planning algorithm for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to track mobile ground targets. The algorithm uses a variation of Monte Carlo tree search (MCTS), a non-myopic method applied to a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) model. It integrates a heuristic technique and parallel processing methods to improve computational performance and achieve a good exploration-exploitation tradeoff.

Well-Conditioned Linear Minimum Mean Square Error Estimation

Edwin K. P. Chong

Summary: This study investigates the problem of linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) estimation. By introducing the structural property and well-conditioned constraint of constrained LMMSE filters, two well-conditioned filters are proposed. Experimental results demonstrate that these two filters outperform the standard LMMSE filter in terms of performance stability.

Christopher Robbiano, Edwin K. P. Chong

Summary: This paper addresses the issue of autonomously choosing navigation actions while searching for targets in littoral regions. A modified cost function is proposed for multiple cooperative vehicles capable of sharing information, and the diminishing returns in performance as more vehicles are incorporated into the search are examined.

Information-Theoretic Interactive Sensing and Inference for Autonomous Systems

Christopher Robbiano, Mahmood R. Azimi-Sadjadi, Edwin K. P. Chong

Summary: This paper addresses an autonomous exploration problem in which a mobile sensor uses an information-theoretic navigation cost function to efficiently detect and classify objects of interest in an unseen search area. The proposed cost function consists of two information gain terms and a novel closed-form representation derived from the definition of mutual information. Experimental results show that using the proposed cost function can improve search efficiency compared to other methods.

A General Framework for Bounding Approximate Dynamic Programming Schemes

Yajing Liu, Edwin K. P. Chong, Ali Pezeshki, Zhenliang Zhang

Summary: This letter introduces a general approach to bounding the performance of ADP methods in the stochastic setting, based on new results for bounding greedy solutions in string optimization problems. The surrogate objective and its curvatures determine the value beta of the bound, with the ADP scheme being a greedy scheme for some surrogate string objective function.
