Road transport is been used for moving people and all kinds of goods throughout the world. However, it is one mode of transportation that is prone to accidents and it faces a plethora of never-ending challenges, such as the frequent loss of lives and valuables when accident occurs. The best course of action to handle these issues is to set up an autonomous incident detection system using wireless communication, 5G technologies and the Internet of Things.

Spark Spectrum Allocation for D2D Communication in Cellular Networks

The device-to-device(D2D)technology performs explicit communication between the terminal and the base station(BS)terminal,so there is no need to transmit data through the BS system.The establishment of a short-distance D2D communication link can greatly reduce the burden on the BS server.At present,D2D is one of the key technologies in 5G technology and has been studied in depth.D2D communication reuses the resources of cellular users to improve system key parameters like utilization and throughput.However,repeated use of the spectrum and coexistence of cellular users can cause co-channel interference.Aiming at the interference problem under the constraint of fair resource allocation and improving the system throughput,this paper proposes an effective resource optimization scheme based on the firework method.The main idea is to expand the weighted sum rate and convert the allocated resource expression into fireworks to determine the correlation matrix.The simulation results show that,compared with the existing scheme,this scheme improves system performance by reducing interference.

Spatio-Temporal Cellular Network Traffic Prediction Using Multi-Task Deep Learning for AI-Enabled 6G

Spatio-temporal cellular network traffic prediction at wide-area level plays an important role in resource reconfiguration,traffic scheduling and intrusion detection,thus potentially supporting connected intelligence of the sixth generation of mobile communications technology(6G).However,the existing studies just focus on the spatio-temporal modeling of traffic data of single network service,such as short message,call,or Internet.It is not conducive to accurate prediction of traffic data,characterised by diverse network service,spatio-temporality and supersize volume.To address this issue,a novel multi-task deep learning framework is developed for citywide cellular network traffic prediction.Functionally,this framework mainly consists of a dual modular feature sharing layer and a multi-task learning layer(DMFS-MT).The former aims at mining long-term spatio-temporal dependencies and local spatio-temporal fluctuation trends in data,respectively,via a new combination of convolutional gated recurrent unit(ConvGRU)and 3-dimensional convolutional neural network(3D-CNN).For the latter,each task is performed for predicting service-specific traffic data based on a fully connected network.On the real-world Telecom Italia dataset,simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposal through prediction performance measure,spatial pattern comparison and statistical distribution verification.
