Generative learning (GL) has emerged as an essential tool for data processing and network optimization in the broad area of next-generation communication systems. Generative Learning for Wireless Communications: Fundamentals and Applications provides a comprehensive and systematic tutorial for applying generative learning models to wireless communications. It explains the core concepts of state-of-the-art generative learning models, including generative adversarial nets, variational autoencoder, and other advanced models, such as transformers and diffusion models, and then shows their application to specific areas in wireless communications.Explains the fundamental concepts of the state-of-the-art generative learning modelsPresents the most advanced methods of generative AI in wireless communicationsGives practical guidance on how to apply generative AI in wireless communicationsIncludes case studies and algorithm designsPresents the critical challenges of GL today and promising future directions

This proceedings book contains selected and expanded contributions presented at the 5th International Symposium on Plasma and Energy Conversion (ISPEC), held in Nanjing, China, on 27–29 October. 2023.These proceedings highlight the latest research findings, technological advances, and innovative ideas in plasma and energy conversion which are critical to addressing the global energy and environmental challenges.Oriented towards the international frontier of carbon emission reduction technologies and China's national strategic goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, plasma and related energy conversion has been gaining attention as a promising alternative to thermal-catalysis or electro-catalysis. The proceedings discuss and exchange cutting-edge scientific innovations and technological advances in fields such as the basic process of discharge plasmas, plasma-assisted synthesis of chemicals and fuels, plasma-controlled environmental pollution, plasma-assisted preparation and treatment of catalysts and function materials, plasma-interface interactions, plasma modelling and simulation technology, and high-voltage measurement and instrumentation, which show great industrial potentials in conversion and utilization of greenhouse gases (e.g. CO2 and CH4), nitrogen fixation, plasma deposition and chemical synthesis, environmental clean-up (e.g. gas cleaning and wastewater treatment), as well as the development of the corresponding plasma devices and driving power supplies.This collection of papers presents the main contributions of plasma and energy conversion in the form of separate chapters, including cutting-edge studies on conversion technology, synthesis and treatment technology, complex mechanism simulation and modelling, as well as in-situ detection and diagnosis.These proceedings are suitable for researchers engaged in fields like plasma chemistry, plasma-catalysis, discharge diagnosis and modelling, chemical modelling, and high-voltage applications.
