The reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) technique has received many interests, thanks to its advantages of low cost, easy deployment, and high controllability. It is acknowledged that the RIS can significantly improve quality signal transmission, especially in line-of-sight-blocked scenarios. Therefore, it critical analyze corresponding signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) coverage probability RIS-...

The quality of an optical signal degrades due to physical layer impairments as it propagates from source to destination. Due to this signal quality at the receiver or destination may be degraded, leading to increased call blocking. A performance indication of an All-Optical Network is the call blocking probability. The goal is to achieve a low overall blocking probability at an affordable cost ...

We consider the problem of estimating the conditional probability of a label in time O(log n), where n is the number of possible labels. We analyze a natural reduction of this problem to a set of binary regression problems organized in a tree structure, proving a regret bound that scales with the depth of the tree. Motivated by this analysis, we propose the first online algorithm which provably...

In this lecture, we will continue our discussion on vector spaces and convex analysis and look at results such as the Riesz representation theorem and convex projections. In addition, we will discuss some fundamentals of Probability Theory including σ-fields, probability measures, notion of independence, expectations etc. We will present a formal definition of random variables and distribution ...
