Robust Remote Reinforcement Learning over Unreliable Communication Channels using Homomorphic State Encoding
Pietro Talli, Federico Mason, Federico Chiariotti +1
Traditional Reinforcement Learning (RL) frameworks generally assume that the agent perceives the state of the underlying Markov process instantaneously and then takes actions accor…
GO-GenZip: Goal-Oriented Generative Sampling and Hybrid Compression
Pietro Talli, Qi Liao, Alessandro Lieto +3
Current network data telemetry pipelines consist of massive streams of fine-grained Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) from multiple distributed sources towards central aggregators,…
A Theory of Goal-Oriented Medium Access: Protocol Design and Distributed Bandit Learning
Federico Chiariotti, Andrea Zanella
The Goal-oriented Communication (GoC) paradigm breaks the separation between communication and the content of the data, tailoring communication decisions to the specific needs of t…
Saving Energy with Relaxed Latency Constraints: A Study on Data Compression and Communication
Pietro Talli, Anup Mishra, Federico Chiariotti +3
With the advent of edge computing, data generated by end devices can be pre-processed before transmission, possibly saving transmission time and energy. On the other hand, data pro…
Secure Goal-Oriented Communication: Defending against Eavesdropping Timing Attacks
Federico Mason, Federico Chiariotti, Pietro Talli +1
Goal-oriented Communication (GoC) is a new paradigm that plans data transmission to occur only when it is instrumental for the receiver to achieve a certain goal. This leads to the…
Eavesdropping on Goal-Oriented Communication: Timing Attacks and Countermeasures
Federico Mason, Federico Chiariotti, Pietro Talli +1
Goal-oriented communication is a new paradigm that considers the meaning of transmitted information to optimize communication. One possible application is the remote monitoring of…
