A recent approach in modeling and analysis of the supply and demand in heterogeneous wireless cellular networks has been the use of two independent Poisson point processes (PPPs) for the locations of base stations (BSs) and user equipments (UEs). This popular approach has two major shortcomings. First, although the PPP model may be a fitting one for the BS locations, it is less adequate for the UE locations mainly due to the fact that the model is not adjustable (tunable) to represent the severity of the heterogeneity (non-uniformity) in the UE locations. Besides, the independence assumption between the two PPPs does not capture the often-observed correlation between the UE and BS locations. This paper presents a novel heterogeneous spatial traffic modeling which allows statistical adjustment. Simple and non-parameterized, yet sufficiently accurate, measures for capturing the traffic characteristics in space are introduced. Only two statistical parameters related to the UE distribution, namely, the coefficient of variation (the normalized second-moment), of an appropriately defined inter-UE distance measure, and correlation coefficient (the normalized cross-moment) between UE and BS locations, are adjusted to control the degree of heterogeneity and the bias towards the BS locations, respectively. This model is used in heterogeneous wireless cellular networks (HetNets) to demonstrate the impact of heterogeneous and BS-correlated traffic on the network performance. This network is called HetHetNet since it has two types of heterogeneity: heterogeneity in the infrastructure (supply), and heterogeneity in the spatial traffic distribution (demand).
In @cite_13 we proposed new measures for capturing traffic characteristics in the space domain. The proposed measures can be considered as the analogues of in the time domain. Thomas point process was used to generate spatial traffic patterns with desired characteristics. However, the HetNet scenarios are not investigated in @cite_13 .

Understanding and solving performance-related issues of current and future (5G+) networks requires the availability of realistic, yet simple and manageable, traffic models which capture and regenerate various properties of real traffic with sufficient accuracy and minimum number of parameters. Traffic in wireless cellular networks must be modeled in the space domain as well as the time domain. Modeling traffic in the time domain has been investigated well. However, for modeling the User Equipment (UE) distribution in the space domain, either the unrealistic uniform Poisson model, or some non-adjustable model, or specifc data from operators, is commonly used. In this paper, stochastic geometry is used to explain the similarities of traffic modeling in the time domain and the space domain. It is shown that traffic modeling in the time domain is a special one-dimensional case of traffic modeling in the space domain. Unified and non-parameterized metrics for characterizing the heterogeneity of traffic in the time domain and the space domain are proposed and their equivalence to the inter-arrival time, a well accepted metric in the time domain, is demonstrated. Coefficient of Variation (CoV), the normalized second-order statistic, is suggested as an appropriate statistical property of traffic to be measured. Simulation results show that the proposed metrics capture the properties of traffic more accurately than the existing metrics. Finally, the performance of LTE networks under modeled traffic using the new metrics is illustrated. Spaceborne remote sensing videos are becoming indispensable resources, opening up opportunities for new remote sensing applications. To exploit this new type of data, we need sophisticated algorithms for semantic scene interpretation. The main difficulties are: 1) Due to the relatively poor spatial resolution of the video acquired from space, moving objects, like cars, are very difficult to detect, not to mention track; 2) camera movement handicaps scene interpretation. To address these challenges, in this paper we propose a novel framework that fuses multispectral images and space videos for spatiotemporal analysis. Taking a multispectral image and a spaceborne video as input, an innovative deep neural network is proposed to fuse them in order to achieve a fine-resolution spatial scene labeling map. Moreover, a sophisticated approach is proposed to analyze activities and estimate traffic density from 150,000+ tracklets produced by a Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi keypoint tracker. The proposed framework is validated using data provided for the 2016 IEEE GRSS data fusion contest, including a video acquired from the International Space Station and a DEIMOS-2 multispectral image. Both visual and quantitative analysis of the experimental results demonstrates the effectiveness of our approach. This paper is concerned with the representation and recognition of the observed dynamics (i.e., excluding purely spatial appearance cues) of spacetime texture based on a spatiotemporal orientation analysis. The term “spacetime texture” is taken to refer to patterns in visual spacetime, (x,y,t), that primarily are characterized by the aggregate dynamic properties of elements or local measurements accumulated over a region of spatiotemporal support, rather than in terms of the dynamics of individual constituents. Examples include image sequences of natural processes that exhibit stochastic dynamics (e.g., fire, water, and windblown vegetation) as well as images of simpler dynamics when analyzed in terms of aggregate region properties (e.g., uniform motion of elements in imagery, such as pedestrians and vehicular traffic). Spacetime texture representation and recognition is important as it provides an early means of capturing the structure of an ensuing image stream in a meaningful fashion. Toward such ends, a novel approach to spacetime texture representation and an associated recognition method are described based on distributions (histograms) of spacetime orientation structure. Empirical evaluation on both standard and original image data sets shows the promise of the approach, including significant improvement over alternative state-of-the-art approaches in recognizing the same pattern from different viewpoints. The traffic networks reflect the pulse and structure of a city and shows some dynamic characteristic. Previous research in mining structure from networks mostly focus on static networks and fail to exploit the temporal patterns. In this paper, we aim to solve the problem of discovering the urban spatio-temporal structure from time-evolving traffic networks. We model the time-evolving traffic networks into a 3-order tensor, each element of which indicates the volume of traffic from i-th origin area to j-th destination area in k-th time domain. Considering traffic data and urban contextual knowledge together, we propose a regularized Non-negative Tucker Decomposition (rNTD) method, which discovers the spatial clusters, temporal patterns and relations among them simultaneously. Abundant experiments are conducted in a large dataset collected from Beijing. Results show that our method outperforms the baseline method.
