Foundation Study on Wireless Big Data: Concept, Mining, Learning and Practices

Facing the development of future 5 G, the emerging technologies such as Internet of things, big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence is enhancing an explosive growth in data traffic. Radical changes in communication theory and implement technologies, the wireless communications and wireless networks have entered a new era. Among them, wireless big data(WBD) has tremendous value, and artificial intelligence(AI) gives unthinkable possibilities. However, in the big data development and artificial intelligence application groups, the lack of a sound theoretical foundation and mathematical methods is regarded as a real challenge that needs to be solved. From the basic problem of wireless communication, the interrelationship of demand, environment and ability, this paper intends to investigate the concept and data model of WBD, the wireless data mining, the wireless knowledge and wireless knowledge learning(WKL), and typical practices examples, to facilitate and open up more opportunities of WBD research and developments. Such research is beneficial for creating new theoretical foundation and emerging technologies of future wireless communications.

Exploring the Road to 6G: ABC-Foundation for Intelligent Mobile Networks

The 5 th generation(5 G)mobile networks has been put into services across a number of markets,which aims at providing subscribers with high bit rates,low latency,high capacity,many new services and vertical applications.Therefore the research and development on 6 G have been put on the agenda.Regarding demands and characteristics of future 6 G,artificial intelligence(A),big data(B)and cloud computing(C)will play indispensable roles in achieving the highest efficiency and the largest benefits.Interestingly,the initials of these three aspects remind us the significance of vitamin ABC to human body.In this article we specifically expound on the three elements of ABC and relationships in between.We analyze the basic characteristics of wireless big data(WBD)and the corresponding technical action in A and C,which are the high dimensional feature and spatial separation,the predictive ability,and the characteristics of knowledge.Based on the abilities of WBD,a new learning approach for wireless AI called knowledge+data-driven deep learning(KD-DL)method,and a layered computing architecture of mobile network integrating cloud/edge/terminal computing,is proposed,and their achievable efficiency is discussed.These progress will be conducive to the development of future 6 G.

Benefits Analysis of Beam Hopping in Satellite Mobile System with Unevenly Distributed Traffic

Satellite mobile system and space-airground integrated network have a prominent superiority in global coverage which plays a critical role in remote and non-land regions, as well as emergency communications. However, due to the gradual angle attenuations of the satellite antennas, it is difficult to achieve full frequency multiplex among different beams as terrestrial 5G network. Multi-color frequency reuse is widely adopted in both academic and industry. Beam hopping scheme has attracted the attention of researchers recently due to the allocation flexibility. In this paper, we focus on analyzing the performance benefits of beam hopping compared with multi-color frequency reuse scheme in non-uniform user and traffic distributions in satellite system. Aerial networks are also introduced to form a space-airground integrated network for coverage enhancement,and the capacity improvement is analyzed. Besides,additional improved techniques are provided to make comprehensive analysis and comparisons. Theoretical analysis and simulation results indicate that the beam hopping scheme has a prominent superiority in the system capacity compared with the traditional multicolor frequency reuse scheme in both satellite mobile system and future space-air-ground integrated network.
