Architecture of Intelligent Grouping and Resource Sharing Standard

The Intelligent Grouping and Resource Sharing (IGRS) standard is set to enable intelligent grouping, resource sharing and services collaboration among information devices. An IGRS system adopts open architecture, that is, the devices abide by the IGRS standard are interoperable with devices following other standards such as Universal Plug and Play (UPnP). The IGRS supports multiple application frameworks and special applications. Developers can use an IGRS media application framework with various media format standards, such as AVS and MPEG-2, to develop multimedia applications. Applied among computers, consumer electronics, and communication devices, the IGRS standard can realize resource sharing and services collaboration in a certain range of wired or wireless network domain.

Impact of NGN Architecture by Intelligent Terminals

This paper discusses the impacts on the existing NGN network architecture by the intelligent terminals or NGN terminals. An economical and simple network with multitudes of services can be realized if terminal intelligence is utilized for functions traditionally performed by the network. The existing terminals without required intelligence can also be supported via terminal emulation at the edge of the network. Communication is established between the interested parties by the combined efforts of the NGN terminals and the network. A possible network architecture where the NGN terminals and NGN network co-operation is suggested. The benefits for such network, such as increased network robustness, interoperability and scalability, are explored in this paper.

Intelligent radio access networks:architectures,key techniques,and experimental platforms

Intelligent radio access networks(RANs)have been seen as a promising paradigm aiming to better satisfy diverse application demands and support various service scenarios.In this paper,a comprehensive survey of recent advances in intelligent RANs is conducted.First,the efforts made by standard organizations and vendors are summarized,and several intelligent RAN architectures proposed by the academic community are presented,such as intent-driven RAN and network with enhanced data analytic.Then,several enabling techniques are introduced which include AI-driven network slicing,intent perception,intelligent operation and maintenance,AI-based cloud-edge collaborative networking,and intelligent multi-dimensional resource allocation.Furthermore,the recent progress achieved in developing experimental platforms is described.Finally,given the extensiveness of the research area,several promising future directions are outlined,in terms of standard open data sets,enabling AI with a computing power network,realization of edge intelligence,and software-defined intelligent satellite-terrestrial integrated network.

WARA-PS:a research arena for public safety demonstrations and autonomous collaborative rescue robotics experimentation

A research arena(WARA-PS)for sensing,data fusion,user interaction,planning and control of collaborative autonomous aerial and surface vehicles in public safety applications is presented.The objective is to demonstrate scientific discoveries and to generate new directions for future research on autonomous systems for societal challenges.The enabler is a computational infrastructure with a core system architecture for industrial and academic collaboration.This includes a control and command system together with a framework for planning and executing tasks for unmanned surface vehicles and aerial vehicles.The motivating application for the demonstration is marine search and rescue operations.A state-of-art delegation framework for the mission planning together with three specific applications is also presented.The first one concerns model predictive control for cooperative rendezvous of autonomous unmanned aerial and surface vehicles.The second project is about learning to make safe real-time decisions under uncertainty for autonomous vehicles,and the third one is on robust terrain-aided navigation through sensor fusion and virtual reality tele-operation to support a GPS-free positioning system in marine environments.The research results have been experimentally evaluated and demonstrated to industry and public sector audiences at a marine test facility.It would be most difficult to do experiments on this large scale without the WARA-PS research arena.Furthermore,these demonstrator activities have resulted in effective research dissemination with high public visibility,business impact and new research collaborations between academia and industry.
