Joint Resource Optimization Over Licensed and Unlicensed Spectrum in Spectrum Sharing UAV Networks Against Jamming Attacks
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communication is of crucial importance in realizing heterogeneous practical wireless application scenarios. However, the densely populated users and diverse services with high data rate demands has triggered an increasing scarcity of UAV spectrum utilization. To tackle this problem, it is promising to incorporate the underutilized unlicensed spectrum with the licensed spectrum to boost network capacity. However, the openness of unlicensed spectrum makes UAVs suscep…

AI Therapy Bots Are Conducting 'Illegal Behavior,' Digital Rights Organizations Say
Exclusive: An FTC complaint led by the Consumer Federation of America outlines how therapy bots on Meta and Character.AI have claimed to be qualified, licensed therapists to users, and why that may be breaking the law.

More than four years in prison for cutting down a tree?
🤨
It isn't in fact for cutting down the tree of course, it's for cutting down the meme of the famous tree.
Four years in jail for cutting down a meme.
Jail doesn't work and won't help here any more than anywhere else, but perhaps it's true that cutting down a meme is more serious than unlicensed logging.

Coexistence analysis of Wi-Fi 6E and 5G NR-U in the 6 GHz band
The ever-increasing demand for broadband and IoT wireless connectivity has recently urged the regulators around the world to start opening the 6 GHz spectrum for unlicensed use. These bands will, for example, permit the use of additional 1.2 GHz in the US and 500 MHz in Europe for unlicensed radio access technologies (RATs) such as Wi-Fi and 5G New Radio Unlicensed (5G NR-U). To support QoS-sensitive applications with both technologies, fair and efficient coexistence approaches between the two …

QoS-aware State-Augmented Learnable Algorithm for Wireless Coexistence Parameter Management
Efficient and fair coexistence in unlicensed spectrum is essential to support heterogeneous networks such as 5G NR-U and Wi-Fi, which often contend for shared wireless resources. We introduce a general framework for wireless Coexistence Parameter Management (CPM) based on state-augmented constrained reinforcement learning. We propose a novel algorithm, QaSAL-CPM, which incorporates state-augmentation by embedding the dual variables in the constrained optimization formulation directly into the a…
