Our article Using Ranging for Collision-Immune IEEE 802.11 Rate Selection with Statistical Learning has been accepted for publication in Elsevier Computer Communications. We propose FTMRate, which applies statistical learning (a form of machine learning) to estimate the distance based on measurements, predicts channel quality from the distance, and selects data rates based on channel quality. We show that our approach has several positive features: it is resilient to collisions, provides near-instantaneous convergence, is compatible with commercial-off-the-shelf devices, and supports pedestrian mobility.

Our article Age of Information-based Abnormality Detection with Decay in the Human Circulatory System has been accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Molecular, Biological and Multi-Scale Communications. In this work, we conducted an analysis of the impact of gateway placement and infection locations on detection time, detection ratio, and the average Peak Age of Information (PAoI). Furthermore, we also added decay of nanosensors similar to operation in the human body.

Our article QL-based Adaptive Transceivers for the IoBNT Communications has been accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Molecular, Biological and Multi-Scale Communications. This paper introduces an adaptive transceiver scheme for bio-nano things (NTs) situated within blood vessels communicating through a time-varying molecular channel. The proposed scheme employs a Q-learning-based adaptive transceiver (a so-called QL-ADT), wherein an agent gradually learns how to adapt the transmission parameters to the current state of the channel.

Our article Synchronized Relaying in Molecular Communication: An AI-based Approach using a Mobile Testbed Setup has been accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Molecular, Biological and Multi-Scale Communications. In this paper, we propose using a reinforcement learning (RL)- based synchronizer to continually adapt a decoding threshold and detect transmitted synchronization frames in a dynamic molecular communication environment.

Our article Flexible Training and Uploading Strategy for Asynchronous Federated Learning in Dynamic Environments has been accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing. In this paper, we propose a flexible communication strategy for devices in asynchronous federated learning, which adapts the training and uploading actions based on the condition of the communication link. We propose a novel method of computing aggregation weight based on model distances and number of local optimizations, to control errors introduced in asynchronous aggregation while maximizing learning speed.

June 18, 2024
Falko Dressler gace a talk on Molecular Communication for Life Sciences and Jorge Torres Gomez gave a talk on Terahertz communications for intra-body links at the KuVS Summer School 2024 on Internet of Bio-Nano-Things. The TKN team was represented by multiple participants including Sunasheer Bhattacharjee, Lisa Y. Debus, and Saswati Pal.Paper presentation at IEEE BalkanCom 2024
June 05, 2024
Jorge Torres presented our paper Mobility Matters at Nanoscale: Rendering the Received Terahertz Signal Power in Human Blood Vessels 7th IEEE International Balkan Conference Communications and Networking (BalkanCom 2024). He introduced the modeling of the radiation pattern of nanoantennas and the mobility in the human vessels. The paper studies the impact of mobility on the communication link and the need to design more robust transmission schemes. Our work is based on a collaboration with partners at the Technology Innovation Institute, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, and Uppsala University.New IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing article

Our article Private Over-the-Air Federated Learning at Band-Limited Edge has been accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing. In this paper, we investigate over-the-air federated learning (OTA-FL) that exploits over-the-air computing (AirComp) to integrate communication and computation seamlessly for FL in a privacy preserving manner.
