Reinforcement learning based dynamic distributed routing scheme for mega LEO satellite networks

Recently, mega Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite Network (LSN) systems have gained more and more attention due to low latency, broadband communications and global coverage for ground users. One of the primary challenges for LSN systems with inter-satellite links is the routing strategy calculation and maintenance, due to LSN constellation scale and dynamic network topology feature. In order to seek an efficient routing strategy, a Q-learning-based dynamic distributed Routing scheme for LSNs (QRLSN) is proposed in this paper. To achieve low end-to-end delay and low network traffic overhead load in LSNs, QRLSN adopts a multi-objective optimization method to find the optimal next hop for forwarding data packets. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can effectively discover the initial routing strategy and provide long-term Quality of Service (QoS) optimization during the routing maintenance process. In addition, comparison results demonstrate that QRLSN is superior to the virtual-topology-based shortest path routing algorithm.     

Pose matters: Pose guided graph attention network for person re-identification

Person re-Identification (reID), aiming at retrieving a person across different cameras, has been playing a more and more important role in the construction of smart city and social security. For deep-learning-based reID methods, it has been proved that using local feature together with global feature could help to give robust representation for person retrieval. Human pose information can provide the locations of human skeleton to effectively guide the network to pay more attention to these key areas, and can also help to reduce the noise distractions from background or occlusions. Based on human pose, a Pose Guided Graph Attention (PGGA) network is proposed in this paper, which is a multi-branch architecture consisting of one branch for global feature and two branches for local key-point features. A graph attention convolution layer is carefully designed to re-assign the contribution weight of each extracted local feature by modeling the similarity relations. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on discriminative feature learning. Our model achieves the state-of-the-art performance on several mainstream evaluation datasets. A plenty of ablation studies and different kinds of comparison experiments are conducted to prove the effectiveness of this work, including the tests on occluded datasets and cross-domain datasets. Moreover, we further design supplementary tests in practical scenario to indicate the advantage of our work in real-word applications.     

Vulnerability analysis of the Chinese coupled aviation and high-speed railway network

The integrated aviation and High-Speed Railway (HSR) transportation system plays a vital role for today’s inter-city transportation services. However, an increasing number of unexpected disruptions (such as operation failures, natural disasters, or intentional attacks) pose a considerable threat to the normal operation of the system, especially on ground transfer, leading to the extensive research on its vulnerability. Previous approaches mainly focus on interruptions within a single transportation mode, neglecting the role of ground transfer which serves as a coupled connection between aviation and High-Speed Railway. This paper proposes a network-based framework for evaluating the vulnerability of the Chinese Coupled Aviation and High-Speed Railway (CAHSR) network from the viewpoint of ground transfer interruption. Taking the end-to-end travel time and passenger flow information into consideration as an evaluation measure and analyzing from the perspective of urban agglomerations, an adaptive method is developed to identify the critical cities and further investigate their failure impacts on the geographic distribution of vulnerability. In addition, the proposed model explores variations of vulnerability under different failure time intervals. Based on the empirical study, some major conclusions are highlighted as follows: (A) Only a few cities show significant impacts on the network’s vulnerability when ground transfer interruptions occurred. (B) The distribution of vulnerability is not proportional to the distance between failure city and influenced city. (C) The vulnerability is more serious in the morning and evening when the ground transfer is disconnected. Our findings may provide new insights for maintenance and optimization of the CAHSR network and other real-world transportation networks.

Formation control for networked multiagent systems with a minimum energy constraint

Minimum-energy formation achievement problems for networked multiagent systems are investigated, where information networks with leaderless and leader-follower structures are respectively addressed and information networks are randomly switching. The critical feature of this work is that the energy constraint is minimum in the sense of the linear matrix inequality, but limited-budget control and guaranteed-cost control cannot realize a minimum-energy formation. Firstly, the leaderless minimum-energy formation control problem is converted into an asymptotic stability one via a nonsingular transformation and state space decomposition, and based on linear matrix inequality techniques, sufficient conditions for analysis and design of leaderless minimum-energy formation achievement are proposed, respectively, which can be solved by the generalized eigenvalue method. Then, main results of minimum-energy formation achievement of leaderless networked multiagent systems are extended leader-follower networked multiagent systems, where the asymmetric property of the leader-follower information network is well dealt with by two nonsingular transformations. Finally, two simulation examples are shown to verify the main results for minimum-energy formation achievements of leaderless and leader-follower networked multiagent systems, respectively.

Quick identification of guidance law for an incoming missile using multiple-model mechanism

A guidance law parameter identification model based on Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) neural network is established. The scenario of the model is that an incoming missile (called missile) attacks a target aircraft (called aircraft) using Proportional Navigation (PN) guidance law. The parameter identification is viewed as a regression problem in this paper rather than a classification problem, which means the assumption that the parameter is in a finite set of possible results is discarded. To increase the training speed of the neural network and obtain the nonlinear mapping relationship between kinematic information and the guidance law parameter of the incoming missile, an output processing method called Multiple-Model Mechanism (MMM) is proposed. Compared with a conventional GRU neural network, the model established in this paper can deal with data of any length through an encoding layer in front of the input layer. The effectiveness of the proposed Multiple-Model Mechanism and the performance of the guidance law parameter identification model are demonstrated using numerical simulation.
