An improved U-Net for cell confluence estimation

Cell confluence is an important metric to determine the growth and the best harvest time of adherent cells. At present, the evaluation of cell confluence mainly relies on experienced labor, and thus it is not conducive to the automated cell culture. In this paper, we proposed an improved U-Net algorithm (called DU-Net) for the segmentation of adherent cells. First, the general convolution was replaced by the dilated convolution to expand the receptive fields for feature extraction. Then, the convolutional layers were combined with the batch normalization layers to reduce the dependence of the network on initialization. As a result, the segmentation accuracy and F1-score of the proposed DU-Net for adherent cells with low confluence (<50%) reached 96.94% and 93.87%, respectively, and for those with high confluence (≥50%), they reached 98.63% and 98.98%, respectively. Further, the paired t-test results showed that the proposed DU-Net was statistically superior to the traditional U-Net algorithm.     

Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer with fixed and adaptive modulation

Activating Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) in Radio-Frequency (RF) to provide on-demand energy supply to widely deployed Internet of Everything devices is a key to the next-generation energy self-sustainable 6G network. However, Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer (SWIPT) in the same RF bands is challenging. The majority of previous studies compared SWIPT performance to Gaussian signaling with an infinite alphabet, which is impossible to implement in any realistic communication system. In contrast, we study the SWIPT system in a well-known Nakagami-m wireless fading channel using practical modulation techniques with finite alphabet. The attainable rate-energy-reliability tradeoff and the corresponding rationale are revealed for fixed modulation schemes. Furthermore, an adaptive modulation-based transceiver is provided for further expanding the attainable rate-energy-reliability region based on various SWIPT performances of different modulation schemes. The modulation switching thresholds and transmit power allocation at the SWIPT transmitter and the power splitting ratios at the SWIPT receiver are jointly optimized to maximize the attainable spectrum efficiency of wireless information transfer while satisfying the WPT requirement and the instantaneous and average BER constraints. Numerical results demonstrate the SWIPT performance of various fixed modulation schemes in different fading conditions. The advantage of the adaptive modulation-based SWIPT transceiver is validated.
