Acquiring prior knowledge of trajectory distributions in specific environments can significantly expedite the optimisation process in robot motion planning. Leveraging successful past plans and utilising trajectory generative models as priors offers a clear advantage. Previous studies have proposed
Probabilistic Movement Primitives (ProMPs) and their variants are powerful methods for enabling robots to learn complex tasks from human demonstrations, where motion trajectories are represented as stochastic processes with Gaussian assumptions. However, despite their computational efficiency, these…
We consider matrix factorization (MF) with certain constraints, which finds wide applications in various areas. Leveraging variational inference (VI) and unitary approximate message passing (UAMP), we develop a Bayesian approach to MF with an efficient message passing implementation, called UAMP-MF.…
The rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) applications requires efficient computing and communication resource allocation strategies to streamline the existing network operations. These strategies could be formulated as mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problems, where the optimal…
The cooperative relay network is a type of multi-terminal communication system. We present in this paper a Neural Network (NN)-based autoencoder (AE) approach to optimize its design. This approach implements a classical three-node cooperative system as one AE model, and uses a two-stage scheme to tr…
In this paper, we focus on 1-bit precoding for large-scale antenna systems in the downlink based on the concept of constructive interference (CI). By formulating the optimization problem that aims to maximize the CI effect subject to the 1-bit constraint on the transmit signals, we mathematically pr…
Mobile-edge computing (MEC) is a promising technology to support computation-intensive and delay-sensitive applications at smart devices by offloading their local tasks to the network edge. In this paper, we propose a novel index based real-time task offloading policy for an asynchronous large-scale…
In this paper, we investigate the interference exploitation precoding for multi-level modulations in the downlink multi-antenna systems. We mathematically derive the optimal precoding structures based on the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions. Furthermore, by formulating the dual problem, the preco…
Spectrum sensing in heterogeneous networks is very challenging as it usually requires a large number of static secondary users (SUs) to capture the global spectrum states. In this paper, we tackle the spectrum sensing in heterogeneous networks from a new perspective. We exploit the mobility of multi…
This paper studies a power beacon-assisted wireless-powered communication network, consisting of one hybrid access point (AP), one information source, and multiple power beacons (PBs). The source has no embedded power supply, and thus, has to harvest RF energy from the AP in the downlink before tran…
