  In this paper, we investigate the joint design of a beamformer and power splitter for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) in spectrum-sharing networks. The goal of this work is to minimize the total transmitted power at the secondary transmitter (ST) while ensuring minimum signal-to-interferenceplus-noise ratio (SINR) and energy harvesting (EH) threshold at each secondary receiver (SR) while maintaining the interference power level at the primary user (PU) below the predefined interference threshold power in multiple co-existing networks. To solve this problem, we derive an optimization problem. However, the optimization formulation turns out to be non-convex, given the non-linear constraints. We address this challenge via the semidefinite relaxation (SDR) technique. The simulation results demonstrate the critical role of transceiver design in achieving an optimal balance among various network parameters. Specifically, the results emphasize the significance of balancing the transmit power at the ST, the SINR, the EH at the SR, and the interference threshold at the PU in co-existing networks.

  Estimating missing data (e.g., pressure) in geographically distributed nodes is one of the fundamental challenges in a water distribution network (WDN). The Model-Based Kalman Filter is a simple solution that can estimate missing data in systems with a linear Gaussian state model. However, in large WDN, the state model is non-linear, and accurate system dynamics are unknown. Thus, we investigate the use of Data-Driven Kalman Filter (DDKF), in which the Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) updates the Kalman Gain. This data-driven approach has the potential to reduce approximation errors caused by the state model’s nonlinearity. As a result, this work demonstrates the application of a DDKF in a WDN. In addition, we demonstrate numerically that the DDKF can overcome approximation errors caused by flow equations and can estimate missing data in a WDN.

  Pumps consume a significant amount of energy in a water distribution network (WDN). With the emergence of dynamic energy cost, the pump scheduling as per user demand is a computationally challenging task. Computing the decision variables of pump scheduling relies over mixed integer optimization (MIO) formulations. However, MIO formulations are NP-hard in general and solving such problems is inefficient in terms of computation time and memory. Moreover, the computational complexity of solving such MIO formulations increases exponentially with the size of the WDN. As an alternative, we propose a data-driven approach to estimate the decision variables of pump scheduling using deep neural networks (DNN). We evaluate the performance of our trained DNN relative to a state-of-the-art MIO solver, and conclude that our DNN based approach can be used to minimize the pump switching and cost incurred due to dynamic energy in a given WDN with much lower complexity.

  There is a growing demand to equip Smart Water Networks (SWN) with advanced sensing and computation capabilities in order to detect anomalies and apply autonomous event-triggered control. Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) have emerged as an important research area capable of intelligently sensing the state of SWN and reacting autonomously in scenarios of unexpected crisis development. Through computational algorithms, CPSs can integrate physical components of SWN, such as sensors and actuators, and provide technological frameworks for data analytics, pertinent decision making, and control. The development of CPSs in SWN requires the collaboration of diverse scientific disciplines such as civil, hydraulics, electronics, environment, computer science, optimization, communication, and control theory. For efficient and successful deployment of CPS in SWN, there is a need for a common methodology in terms of design approaches that can involve various scientific disciplines. This paper reviews the state of the art, challenges, and opportunities for CPSs, that could be explored to design the intelligent sensing, communication, and control capabilities of CPS for SWN. In addition, we look at the challenges and solutions in developing a computational framework from the perspectives of machine learning, optimization, and control theory for SWN.
