    Audio’s Impact on Deep Learning Models: A Comparative Study of EEG-Based Concentration Detection in VR Games
    This study investigates the impact of audio feedback on cognitive performance during VR puzzle games using EEG analysis. Thirty participants played three different VR puzzle games under two conditions (with and without audio) while their brain activity was recorded. To analyze concentration levels and neural engagement patterns, we employed spectral analysis combined with a preprocessing algorithm and an optimized Deep Neural Network (DNN) model. The proposed processing stage integrates feature normalization, automatic labeling based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and Gamma band feature extraction, transforming concentration detection into a supervised classification problem. Experimental validation was conducted under the two gaming conditions in order to evaluate the impact of multisensory stimulation on model performance. The results show that the proposed approach significantly outperforms traditional machine learning classifiers (SVM, LR) and baseline deep learning models (DNN, DGCNN), achieving a 97% accuracy in the audio scenario and 83% without audio. These findings confirm that auditory stimulation reinforces neural coherence and improves the discriminability of EEG patterns, while the proposed method maintains a robust performance under less stimulating conditions.

    This paper presents a comprehensive probabilistic analysis of packet loss in long-range (LoRa) networks, a vital aspect of low-power, wide-area communication systems increasingly employed in IoT applications. The proposed model integrates multiple critical factors, including packet arrival rates, transmission power levels, and the distance between transmitting nodes and the gateway. By incorporating these variables into a unified probabilistic framework, the model not only predicts packet loss and interference patterns but also provides insights into optimizing network parameters. Specifically, it focuses on determining the optimal transmission power required to balance energy efficiency and communication reliability. A distinctive feature of the analysis is its ability to adapt dynamically to varying network conditions, ensuring sustained performance even in environments with high node density or fluctuating traffic loads. The study also explores the interplay between transmission power and interference, demonstrating how careful calibration of power settings can significantly reduce packet collisions while conserving energy resources. The proposed framework not only advances theoretical understanding, but also offers actionable guidelines for network designers seeking to achieve high performance in resource-constrained environments.

    Integrating reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) into wireless communication systems represents a crucial challenge. This task can be even more challenging when dealing with multiple users connected to a system sharing spectrum, time, or power resources. This chapter explores the challenges of integrating the RIS into multiuser downlink transmission systems. The efficiency and applicability of RIS-assisted multiple input-single output (MISO) and multiple input-multiple output (MIMO) schemes are analyzed in terms of bit error rate (BER) performance and complexity of the algorithms and techniques utilized. Likewise, the effects of the different wireless propagation channel models are analyzed. Approaches of blind RISs and optimization algorithms are also reviewed. Our simulation results showed up to 37 dB gain in BER curves when using N-RIS surfaces when the system has SE = 12 bpcu/user, 32 Tx antennas, and 8 users with 4 Rx antennas. These outcomes validate an increase in performance by adopting N-RIS surfaces and optimization techniques for adequate phase searching. This chapter also reviews the reported frameworks that apply machine learning algorithms to improve the overall system performance. Topics such as estimation of channel state information, beamforming applications, federated learning, and demodulation applications are reviewed. Finally, we shed light on trends and open research areas in this emerging topic. © 2024 The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. All rights reserved.

    <jats:p>Machine learning (ML) algorithms have been widely used to improve the performance of telecommunications systems, including reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted wireless communication systems. The RIS can be considered a key part of the backbone of sixth-generation (6G) communication mainly due to its electromagnetic properties for controlling the propagation of the signals in the wireless channel. The ML-optimized (RIS)-assisted wireless communication systems can be an effective alternative to mitigate the degradation suffered by the signal in the wireless channel, providing significant advantages in the system’s performance. However, the variety of approaches, system configurations, and channel conditions make it difficult to determine the best technique or group of techniques for effectively implementing an optimal solution. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the reported frameworks in the literature that apply ML and RISs to improve the overall performance of the wireless communication system. This paper compares the ML strategies that can be used to address the RIS-assisted system design. The systems are classified according to the ML method, the databases used, the implementation complexity, and the reported performance gains. Finally, we shed light on the challenges and opportunities in designing and implementing future RIS-assisted wireless communication systems based on ML strategies.</jats:p>

    Statistical Study of User Perception of Smart Homes during Vital Signal Monitoring with an Energy-Saving Algorithm
    <jats:p>Sensor networks are deployed in people’s homes to make life easier and more comfortable and secure. They might represent an interesting approach for elderly care as well. This work highlights the benefits of a sensor network implemented in the homes of a group of users between 55 and 75 years old, which encompasses a simple home energy optimization algorithm based on user behavior. We analyze variables related to vital signs to establish users’ comfort and tranquility thresholds. We statistically study the perception of security that users exhibit, differentiating between men and women, examining how it affects the person’s development at home, as well as the reactivity of the sensor algorithm, to optimize its performance. The proposed algorithm is analyzed under certain performance metrics, showing an improvement of 15% over a sensor network under the same conditions. We look at and quantify the usefulness of accurate alerts on each sensor and how it reflects in the users’ perceptions (for men and women separately). This study analyzes a simple, low-cost, and easy-to-implement home-based sensor network optimized with an adaptive energy optimization algorithm to improve the lives of older adults, which is capable of sending alerts of possible accidents or intruders with the highest efficiency.</jats:p>

    Channel Characterization and SC-FDM Modulation for PLC in High-Voltage Power Lines
    <jats:p>Digital communication over power lines is an active field of research and most studies in this field focus on low-voltage (LV) and medium-voltage (MV) power systems. Nevertheless, as power companies are starting to provide communication services and as smart-grid technologies are being incorporated into power networks, high-voltage (HV) power-line communication has become attractive. The main constraint of conventional HV power-line carrier (PLC) systems is their unfeasibility for being migrated to wideband channels, even with a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this scenario, none of the current linear/non-linear equalizers used in single carrier schemes achieve the complete compensation of the highly dispersive conditions, which limits their operation to 4 kHz channels. In this paper, a new PLC-channel model is introduced for transmission lines incorporating the effects of the coupling equipment. In addition, the use of the single-carrier frequency-division modulation (SC-FDM) is proposed as a solution to operate PLC systems in a wide bandwidth, achieving transmission speeds above those of the conventional PLC system. The results presented in this paper demonstrate the superior performance of the SC-FDM-PLC over conventional PLC systems, obtaining a higher transmission capacity in 10 to 30 times.</jats:p>
