Entropy-metric estimation of the small data models with stochastic parameters.

The formalization of dependencies between datasets, taking into account specific hypotheses about data properties, is a constantly relevant task, which is especially acute when it comes to small data. The aim of the study is to formalize the procedure for calculating optimal estimates of probability density functions of parameters of linear and nonlinear dynamic and static small data models, created taking into account specific hypotheses regarding the properties of the studied object. The research methodology includes probability theory and mathematical statistics, information theory, evaluation theory, and stochastic mathematical programming methods. The mathematical apparatus presented in the article is based on the principle of maximization of information entropy on sets determined as a result of a small number of censored measurements of "input" and "output" entities in the presence of noise. These data structures became the basis for the formalization of linear and nonlinear dynamic and static models of small data with stochastic parameters, which include both controlled and noise-oriented input and output measurement entities. For all variants of the above-mentioned small data models, the tasks of determining the optimal estimates of the probability density functions of the parameters were carried out. Formulated optimization problems are reduced to the forms canonical for the stochastic linear programming problem with probabilistic constraints.

Evaluation of the QoS policy model of an ordinary 5G smart city cluster with predominant URLLC and eMBB traffic.

A typical element of the smart city's information and communication space is a 5G cluster, which is focused on serving both new and handover requests because it is an open system. In an ordinary 5G smart city cluster, Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC) and enhanced Mobile BroadBand (eMBB) traffic types prevail. The formation of an effective QoS policy for such an object (taking into account the potentially active slicing technology) is an urgent problem. As a baseline, this research considers a Quality of Service (QoS) policy with constraints for context-defined URLLC and eMBB classes of incoming requests. Evaluating the QoS policy instance defined within the framework of the basic concept requires the formalization of both a complete qualitative metric and a computationally efficient mathematical apparatus for its calculation. The article presents accurate and approximate methods of calculating such quality parameters as the probability of loss of typed requests and the utilization ratio of the communication resource, which depend on the implementation of the estimated QoS policy. At the same time, the original parametric space includes both fixed characteristics (amount of available communication resources, load according to request classes) and controlled characteristics due to the specifics of the implementation of the basic QoS concept. The paper empirically proves the adequacy of the presented mathematical apparatus for evaluating the QoS policy defined within the scope of the research. Also, in the proposed qualitative metric, a comparison of the author's concept with a parametrically close analogue (the well-known QoS policy scheme, which takes into account the phenomenon of reservation of communication resources), determined taking into account the reservation of communication resources, was made. The results of the comparison testify in favour of the superiority of the author's approach in the proposed metrics.
