Abstract:
In this article, we develop a novel approach that leverages the capabilities of fuzzy logic and artificial intelligence (AI) to develop an intelligent, efficient cooperative RCN. Software defined radio (SDR) is flexible, scalable, and reconfigurable. Considering heterogeneous radio communication networks (RCNs), conventional relays do not perform well due to their limitations (security vulnerabilities in cooperative Internet-of-Things (IoT), inefficiencies in half-duplex relaying, etc.). We propose an AI-powered, fuzzy logic-based SDR relay to address these issues. These intelligent relays could be useful and outperform conventional relays due to their adaptability and reconfigurabilty, with added intelligence based on AI and fuzzy logic. The proposed next generation SDR relays offer significant advantages over traditional relays and have the potential to revolutionize the field of radio communication. Specifically, we analyze the decimation technique in SDR signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR) resampler, Mamdani fuzzy logic controller, and use a machine learning (ML) model that uses RADIOML data set. Based on the simulation results, we show that applying fuzzy logic with an ML-enabled SDR relay could improve energy efficiency and reliability performance in advanced radio networks.
