A Reinforcement Learning Inspired Approach for Efficient Cognitive Radio Network Routing
Authors: Parul Tomar, Ranjita Joon, Gyanendra Kumar and P KarthikAvailable online: 28 January 2025More LessIntroductionOne fundamental characteristic of Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) is their dynamic operating environment, where network conditions, such as the activities of Primary Users (PUs), undergo continuous changes over time. While Secondary Users (SUs) are engaged in communication, if a PU reappears on an SU's channel, the SU is required to vacate the channel and switch to another available channel. Thus, finding a stable route that minimizes frequent channel switches is a challenging task in CRNs.
MethodExisting solutions to reduce PU interference often overlook the energy consumption of nodes when forming clusters, focusing solely on the minimum number of common channels in a cluster. Consequently, these schemes suffer from frequent channel switches due to PU appearances. The proposed Cognitive Radio Network Routing (CRNR) approach aims to minimize frequent channel switches by employing a Reinforcement Learning (RL) technique called Q-Learning to select stable routes with channels exhibiting higher OFF-state probabilities.
ResultThis strategy ensures that selected routes avoid rerouting by prioritizing channels with higher off-state probabilities. Experimental studies demonstrate that the CRNR approach enhances network throughput and reduces interference when compared with existing techniques. CRNR introduces a novel application of AI, use of Q-Learning, a reinforcement learning technique in wireless networks.
ConclusionThis bridges the gap between machine learning and network design, showcasing how intelligent algorithms can optimize communication decisions in real-time, which could inspire further exploration of AI-driven techniques in network management and beyond.

Authors: Tanishq Soni, Deepali Gupta, Mudita Uppal, Sapna Juneja, Yonis Gulzar and Kayhan Zrar GhafoorAvailable online: 30 December 2024More LessIntroductionCardio Vascular Disease (CVD), a primary cause of death worldwide, includes a variety of heart-related disorders like heart failure, arrhythmias, and coronary artery disease (CAD), where plaque buildup narrows the heart muscle's blood vessels and causes angina or heart attacks. Genetics, congenital anomalies, bad diet, lack of exercise, smoking, and chronic diseases including hypertension and diabetes can cause cardiac disease.
MethodThe symptoms can range from chest pain and shortness of breath to exhaustion and palpitations and diagnosis usually involves a medical history, physical examination, and electrocardiograms (ECGs), and stress testing. Lifestyle adjustments, medicines, angioplasty, and bypass grafts or heart transplants are possible treatments. Preventive measures include healthy living, risk factor management, and frequent checkups, which are few measures, whereas advanced algorithms can analyze massive volumes of ECG and MRI data to find patterns and anomalies that humans may overlook.
ResultsThe deep learning models increase arrhythmia, coronary artery disease, and heart failure diagnosis accuracy and speed. They enable predictive analytics, early intervention, and personalized treatment programs, increasing cardiac care results. The proposed DNN model consists of a 3-layer architecture having input, hidden, and output layers. In the hidden layer, 2 layers, namely, the dense layer and batch normalization layer are added to enhance its accuracy.
ConclusionThree different optimizers namely Adam, AdaGrad, and AdaDelta are tested on 50 epochs and 32 batch sizes for predicting cardiovascular disease. Adam optimizer has the highest accuracy of 85% using the proposed deep neural network.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to improve the accuracy and personalization of recommendations of filtering algorithms.
MethodsFirst, the model mapped learner nodes, learning resources, and their neighbour nodes into low-dimensional dense vectors. Second, the multi-domain fusion layer and the multi-domain aggregator were used to obtain the fused multi-domain learning resource vector. Finally, the learner vector and the multi-domain learning resource vector were fed into the prediction layer to calculate the interaction probability.

Authors: Amandeep Kaur, Kuldeep Singh, Prabhpreet Kaur, Bhanu Priya, Gajendra Kumar and Abhishek SharmaAvailable online: 04 November 2024More LessIntroductionAttention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent chronic mental health condition that significantly impacts the psychological and physical well-being of millions of adolescents. Early detection and accurate diagnosis are crucial for effective treatment and mitigating the disorder's adverse effects. Despite extensive research efforts, current methods often fall short in simultaneously accounting for daily motor activity and heart rate variability in ADHD detection.
MethodAddressing these gaps, this paper introduces a histogram-based gradient-boosting classifier for analyzing real-time activity and heart-rate variability data to automate ADHD diagnosis. By extracting twelve key features from the data and selecting the most significant ones with the extra tree model, we evaluate these features using various classifiers, including histogram-based gradient boosting, light gradient boosting machine, extreme gradient boosting, gradient boosting, and adaptive boosting.
ResultsThe histogram-based gradient-boosting model, validated through ten-fold cross-validation, outperforms other classifiers with an accuracy of 99.12%, an F1 measure of 99.12%, and a sensitivity of 99.13%. Additionally, it achieves a specificity of 99.1%, an AUC of 0.9995, and a minimal FDR of 0.88%. These results demonstrate that the proposed approach offers a highly effective and precise solution for automated ADHD diagnosis.
ConclusionThe implications of these findings suggest that integrating real-time activity and heart-rate variability data into diagnostic processes can significantly enhance the accuracy and efficiency of ADHD assessment, potentially leading to earlier and more reliable diagnoses, improved patient outcomes, and more tailored treatment strategies.
