For Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) of Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, many models have been established to characterize their degradation process. The existing empirical or physical models can reveal important information regarding the degradation dynamics. However, there is no general and flexible methods to fuse the information represented by those models. Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) is an efficient tool to fuse empirical or physical dynamic models with data-driven models. To take full advantage of various information sources, we propose a model fusion scheme based on PINN. It is implemented by developing a semi-empirical semi-physical Partial Differential Equation (PDE) to model the degradation dynamics of Li-ion-batteries. When there is little prior knowledge about the dynamics, we leverage the data-driven Deep Hidden Physics Model (DeepHPM) to discover the underlying governing dynamic models. The uncovered dynamics information is then fused with that mined by the surrogate neural network in the PINN framework. Moreover, an uncertainty-based adaptive weighting method is employed to balance the multiple learning tasks when training the PINN. The proposed methods are verified on a public dataset of Li-ion Phosphate (LFP)/graphite batteries.

In heterogeneous networks (HetNets), the overlap of small cells and the macro cell causes severe cross-tier interference. Although there exist some approaches to address this problem, they usually require global channel state information, which is hard to obtain in practice, and get the sub-optimal power allocation policy with high computational complexity. To overcome these limitations, we propose a multi-agent deep reinforcement learning (MADRL) based power control scheme for the HetNet, where each access point makes power control decisions independently based on local information. To promote cooperation among agents, we develop a penalty-based Q learning (PQL) algorithm for MADRL systems. By introducing regularization terms in the loss function, each agent tends to choose an experienced action with high reward when revisiting a state, and thus the policy updating speed slows down. In this way, an agent's policy can be learned by other agents more easily, resulting in a more efficient collaboration process. We then implement the proposed PQL in the considered HetNet and compare it with other distributed-training-and-execution (DTE) algorithms. Simulation results show that our proposed PQL can learn the desired power control policy from a dynamic environment where the locations of users change episodically and outperform existing DTE MADRL algorithms.

Cell-free massive MIMO is emerging as a promising technology for future wireless communication systems, which is expected to offer uniform coverage and high spectral efficiency compared to classical cellular systems. We study in this paper how cell-free massive MIMO can support federated edge learning. Taking advantage of the additive nature of the wireless multiple access channel, over-the-air computation is exploited, where the clients send their local updates simultaneously over the same communication resource. This approach, known as over-the-air federated learning (OTA-FL), is proven to alleviate the communication overhead of federated learning over wireless networks. Considering channel correlation and only imperfect channel state information available at the central server, we propose a practical implementation of OTA-FL over cell-free massive MIMO. The convergence of the proposed implementation is studied analytically and experimentally, confirming the benefits of cell-free massive MIMO for OTA-FL.

Edge-assisted vehicle-to-everything (V2X) motion planning is an emerging paradigm to achieve safe and efficient autonomous driving, since it leverages the global position information shared among multiple vehicles. However, due to the imperfect channel state information (CSI), the position information of vehicles may become outdated and inaccurate. Conventional methods ignoring the communication delays could severely jeopardize driving safety. To fill this gap, this paper proposes a robust V2X motion planning policy that adapts between competitive driving under a low communication delay and conservative driving under a high communication delay, and guarantees small communication delays at key waypoints via power control. This is achieved by integrating the vehicle mobility and communication delay models and solving a joint design of motion planning and power control problem via the block coordinate descent framework. Simulation results show that the proposed driving policy achieves the smallest collision ratio compared with other benchmark policies.

Although physics-informed neural networks(PINNs) have progressed a lot in many real applications recently, there remains problems to be further studied, such as achieving more accurate results, taking less training time, and quantifying the uncertainty of the predicted results. Recent advances in PINNs have indeed significantly improved the performance of PINNs in many aspects, but few have considered the effect of variance in the training process. In this work, we take into consideration the effect of variance and propose our VI-PINNs to give better predictions. We output two values in the final layer of the network to represent the predicted mean and variance respectively, and the latter is used to represent the uncertainty of the output. A modified negative log-likelihood loss and an auxiliary task are introduced for fast and accurate training. We perform several experiments on a wide range of different problems to highlight the advantages of our approach. The results convey that our method not only gives more accurate predictions but also converges faster.
