In this paper, we propose a novel Fine-Tuned attribute Weighted Na\"ive Bayes (FT-WNB) classifier to identify the Line-of-Sight (LoS) and Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) for UltraWide Bandwidth (UWB) signals in an Indoor Positioning System (IPS). The FT-WNB classifier assigns each signal feature a specific weight and fine-tunes its probabilities to address the mismatch between the predicted and actual class. The performance of the FT-WNB classifier is compared with the state-of-the-art Machine Learning (ML) classifiers such as minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance (mRMR)- $k$-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree (DT), Na\"ive Bayes (NB), and Neural Network (NN). It is demonstrated that the proposed classifier outperforms other algorithms by achieving a high NLoS classification accuracy of $99.7\%$ with imbalanced data and $99.8\%$ with balanced data. The experimental results indicate that our proposed FT-WNB classifier significantly outperforms the existing state-of-the-art ML methods for LoS and NLoS signals in IPS in the considered scenario.

Access plan recommendation is a query optimization approach that executes new queries using prior created query execution plans (QEPs). The query optimizer divides the query space into clusters in the mentioned method. However, traditional clustering algorithms take a significant amount of execution time for clustering such large datasets. The MapReduce distributed computing model provides efficient solutions for storing and processing vast quantities of data. Apache Spark and Apache Hadoop frameworks are used in the present investigation to cluster different sizes of query datasets in the MapReduce-based access plan recommendation method. The performance evaluation is performed based on execution time. The results of the experiments demonstrated the effectiveness of parallel query clustering in achieving high scalability. Furthermore, Apache Spark achieved better performance than Apache Hadoop, reaching an average speedup of 2x., Comment: 11pages, 4 figures

Device-to-device (D2D) or Sidelink aided communication is regarded as one of the most promising technologies to improve the spectral efficiency of the 5G and beyond communication system. However, two main challenges exist: 1) the selection of the optimal number of devices for improving the spectral efficiency, and 2) improving the physical layer security of such a communication system. The optimal device improves the secrecy capacity, and the selection of optimal devices enhances the physical layer security. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a double threshold-based optimal device selection (ODS) scheme for a cooperative wireless network with amplify and forward (AF) protocol in the presence and absence of an eavesdropper to enhance the physical layer security for the D2D network. The proposed scheme is analyzed with different distance cases, device scenarios, and modulation schemes. The bit error rate (BER) performance analysis concludes that a performance gain of more than 4 dB is achieved at the BER of 0:004 for the proposed double threshold-based ODS scheme compared to the existing ODS scheme at a high signal to noise ratio (SNR). Furthermore, the proposed scheme enhances the physical layer security., Comment: 13 pages, 7 figures

Achieving significant performance gains both in terms of system throughput and massive connectivity, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has been considered as a very promising candidate for future wireless communications technologies. It has already received serious consideration for implementation in the fifth generation (5G) and beyond wireless communication systems. This is mainly due to NOMA allowing more than one user to utilise one transmission resource simultaneously at the transmitter side and successive interference cancellation (SIC) at the receiver side. However, in order to take advantage of the benefits, NOMA provides in an optimal manner, power allocation needs to be considered to maximise the system throughput. This problem is non-deterministic polynomial-time (NP)-hard which is mainly why the use of deep learning techniques for power allocation is required. In this paper, a state-of-the-art review on cutting-edge solutions to the power allocation optimisation problem using deep learning is provided. It is shown that the use of deep learning techniques to obtain effective solutions to the power allocation problem in NOMA is paramount for the future of NOMA-based wireless communication systems. Furthermore, several possible research directions based on the use of deep learning in NOMA systems are presented.

With the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT), Indoor Positioning System (IPS) has attracted significant interest in academic research. Ultra-Wideband (UWB) is an emerging technology that can be employed for IPS as it offers centimetre-level accuracy. However, the UWB system still faces several technical challenges in practice, one of which is Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) signal propagation. Several machine learning approaches have been applied for the NLoS component identification. However, when the data contains a very small amount of NLoS components it becomes very difficult for existing algorithms to classify them. This paper focuses on employing an anomaly detection approach based on Gaussian Distribution (GD) and Generalized Gaussian Distribution (GGD) algorithms to detect and identify the NLoS components. The simulation results indicate that the proposed approach can provide a robust NLoS component identification which improves the NLoS signal classification accuracy which results in significant improvement in the UWB positioning system.
