Recent advances in wearable devices and Internet of Things (IoT) have led to massive growth in sensor data generated in edge devices. Labeling such massive data for classification tasks has proven to be challenging. In addition, data generated by different users bear various personal attributes and edge heterogeneity, rendering it impractical to develop a global model that adapts well to all users

A Deep-Reinforcement-Learning-Based Social-Aware Cooperative Caching Scheme in D2D Communication Networks IEEE Internet Things J. (IF 10.238) Pub Date : 2023-01-06 Yalu Bai, Dan Wang, Gang Huang, Bin Song
Device-to-device (D2D) caching is becoming prevalent in relieving network congestion. However, there remain challenges in exploring efficient D2D caching strategies due to the diverse user requirements. In this article, we propose a social-aware D2D caching scheme that integrates the concept of social incentive and recommendation with D2D caching decision making. First, we investigate federated learning

Optimal Sleep Scheduling for Energy-Efficient AoI Optimization in Industrial Internet of Things IEEE Internet Things J. (IF 10.238) Pub Date : 2023-01-06 Xianghui Cao, Jia Wang, Yu Cheng, Jiong Jin
Keeping sensor data fresh is desired for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), especially, in real-time monitoring applications. However, this may require sensors always in active mode and, thus, incur low energy efficiency. In this article, we consider that a wireless sensor monitors a dynamical system and reports real-time measurements to a processing center through an unreliable wireless channel
