Mobile Ubiquitous Network Environment

The Mobile Ubiquitous Service Environment (MUSE), established through the coordination and integration of mobile telecommunications and ubiquitous network in the pursuit of Always Best Experience (ABE), represents the major development trend for the next generation mobile wireless network. Research on MUSE will involve the integration of computing model system, service platform system, operating system and terminal structure system, all of which involve exploration and innovation of new networking structure, its control and management as well as way of measuring. The change in network resources triggers the change in network computing models. To make readers have a basic understanding of mobile ubiquitous network environment, this lecture will introduce MUSE in two sections. The first section describes the background of MUSE and its future development prospect. The second section focuses on the design principles and key technologies in MUSE model, which make services realized, as well as the networking structure of MUSE model, and the key technologies and design principles of networking.

Stackelberg-based dynamic incentive pricing algorithm in heterogeneous ubiquitous network

A challenge in the convergence of heterogeneous networks is how to combine the ubiquitous resources and provide the diversified individual services. This paper designs a market model for aggregating reconfiguration in heterogeneous networks based on the tradeoff between resource allocation and consumers＇ requirement. To unify the benefits of operators and consumers, a novel Stackelberg-based dynamic incentive pricing algorithm is proposed. The results of the theoretical analysis and simulation demonstrate that the proposed strategy provides incentive for cooperation by means of appropriate resource allocation, and improves the utilization of network resources, thereby effectively realizing the optimization of the whole network performance.

Ubiquitous Sensor Network for Chemical Sensors

Wireless sensor networks have been identified as one of the most important technologies for the 21 st century.Recent advances in micro sensor fabrication technology and wireless communication technology enable the practical deployment of large-scale,low-power,inexpensive sensor networks.Such an approach offers an advantage over traditional sensing methods in many ways:large-scale,dense deployment not only extends spatial coverage and achieves higher resolution,but also increases the system's fault-tolerance and robustness.Moreover,the ad-hoc nature of wireless sensor networks makes them even more attractive for military and other risk-associated applications,such as environmental observation and habitat monitoring.

Ubiquitous Access Technology for Wireless Digital Home Networks

As an important branch of telecommunication technology, digital home networks have quickly developed in recent years. Although architecture of the digital home network based on telecommunication networks has been standardized in China, only wireless access is defined to be allowable. Therefore, it becomes the focus of further research how to establish a wireless digital home network. This article proposes the concept and shows the architecture of ubiquitous access for wireless digital home networks. Moreover, key technologies for ubiquitous access are discussed here, including cognitive radio, the concept of wireless Mesh, generic link transfer mechanism, Quality of Service (QoS) guarantee mechanism, Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and coexistence of heterogeneous systems.

无线泛在网的用户体验质量综合评估机制(英文)

To assess Quality of Experience (QoE) for multimedia services in wireless ubiquitous networks, integrated QoE assessment mechanism is proposed. Firstly, hierarchical QoE definition considering device capacity and environment factor is introduced, and then corresponding QoE measurement architecture is described. Secondly, quantitative mapping scheme among the defined sets is introduced. Simulation for Video on Demand (VoD) and video telephone service in Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) urban scenario shows experience and network condition can be well measured. Useful suggestions are still given for operators to keep user experience at an acceptable level.

Role,path,and vision of“5G+BDS/GNSS”

Communication,positioning,navigation,and decision-making abilities have evolved into Positioning,Navigation,and Timing(PNT)intelligence during the long process of human migration and hence promoted human evolution.This article defines intelligence and smartness from the perspective of biological intelligence.New requirements as a result of the development of communication,navigation,time service,and decision making are identified in this study.The article points out that there are many radio PNT service methods,such as 5G,the new-generation high-speed communication networks and the low-latency and ubiquitous mobile communication networks as well as Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS),but the integrated application is especially important in providing technical support for the adjustment and control of the physical world by intelligent sensing,cognition,decision-making,and precise coordination.The fusion of 5G and GNSS[including BeiDou Navigation Satellite System(BDS)]information with the corresponding equipment can be embedded into a machine to make it intelligent.Furthermore,the fused information of 5G and GNSS together with the environment information may extend human perception and physical world control ability in terms of time and space scale.It will help to develop critical information infrastructure in the age of intelligence,which will also extend the definition of artificial intelligence.Additionally,the“5G+BDS/GNSS”fusion path is analyzed explicitly herein in terms of realization methods,information processing,and new application services.On the whole,the application of“5G+BDS/GNSS+satellite-based communication”as a critical infrastructure for land,sea,air,space and network spatiotemporal control rights is proposed.

Sensorless Sensing with WiFi

Can WiFi signals be used for sensing purpose？ The growing PHY layer capabilities of WiFi has made it possible to reuse WiFi signals for both communication and sensing. Sensing via WiFi would enable remote sensing without wearable sensors, simultaneous perception and data transmission without extra communication infrastructure, and contactless sensing in privacy-preserving mode. Due to the popularity of WiFi devices and the ubiquitous deployment of WiFi networks, WiFi-based sensing networks, if fully connected, would potentially rank as one of the world＇s largest wireless sensor networks. Yet the concept of wireless and sensorless sensing is not the simple combination of WiFi and radar. It seeks breakthroughs from dedicated radar systems, and aims to balance between low cost and high accuracy, to meet the rising demand for pervasive environment perception in everyday life. Despite increasing research interest, wireless sensing is still in its infancy. Through introductions on basic principles and working prototypes, we review the feasibilities and limitations of wireless, sensorless, and contactless sensing via WiFi. We envision this article as a brief primer on wireless sensing for interested readers to explore this open and largely unexplored field and create next-generation wireless and mobile computing applications.
