Resource and Mobility Management in Hybrid LiFi and WiFi Networks: A User-Centric Learning Approach

Hybrid light fidelity (LiFi) and wireless fidelity (WiFi) networks (HLWNets) are an emerging indoor wireless communication paradigm, which combines the advantages of the capacious optical spectra of LiFi and ubiquitous coverage of WiFi. Meanwhile, load balancing (LB) becomes a key challenge in resource management for such hybrid networks. The existing LB methods are mostly network-centric, relying on a central unit to make a solution for the users all at once. Consequently, the solution needs to be updated for all users at the same pace, regardless of their moving status. This would affect the network performance in two aspects: i) when the update frequency is low, it would compromise the connectivity of fast-moving users; ii) when the update frequency is high, it would cause unnecessary handovers as well as hefty feedback costs for slow-moving users. Motivated by this, we investigate user-centric LB which allows users to update their solutions at different paces. The research is developed upon our previous work on adaptive target-condition neural network (ATCNN), which can conduct LB for individual users in quasi-static channels. In this paper, a deep neural network (DNN) model is designed to enable an adaptive update interval for each individual user. This new model is termed as mobility-supporting neural network (MSNN). Associating MSNN with ATCNN, a user-centric LB framework named mobility-supporting ATCNN (MS-ATCNN) is proposed to handle resource management and mobility management simultaneously. Results show that at the same level of average update interval, MS-ATCNN can achieve a network throughput up to 215\% higher than conventional LB methods such as game theory, especially for a larger number of users. In addition, MS-ATCNN costs an ultra low runtime at the level of 100s $\mu$s, which is two to three orders of magnitude lower than game theory.

The application of superconducting materials is becoming more and more widespread. Traditionally, the discovery of new superconducting materials relies on the experience of experts and a large number of "trial and error" experiments, which not only increases the cost of experiments but also prolongs the period of discovering new superconducting materials. In recent years, machine learning has been increasingly applied to materials science. Based on this, this manuscript proposes the use of XGBoost model to identify superconductors; the first application of deep forest model to predict the critical temperature of superconductors; the first application of deep forest to predict the band gap of materials; and application of a new sub-network model to predict the Fermi energy level of materials. Compared with our known similar literature, all the above algorithms reach state-of-the-art. Finally, this manuscript uses the above models to search the COD public dataset and identify 50 candidate superconducting materials with possible critical temperature greater than 90 K.
