    • publicationLanguages:en
    Collaborative Learning for 6G Mobile Wireless Networks gives a comprehensive introduction to the topic and its potential role in the development of 6G by explaining principles and presenting methods, algorithms, and uses cases. To achieve 6G’s vision of intelligent and autonomous networks capable of self-optimization, self-healing, and context-aware adaptation, there is a need to develop advanced algorithms and frameworks to enable network elements to perceive, reason, and act autonomously in dynamic and unpredictable environments. However, traditional machine learning methods rely on centralized data collection and processing, making it a limitation for large-scale applications.Collabo... learning, as an emerging distributed approach, offers a powerful framework for harnessing the collective intelligence of distributed data sources while addressing key challenges such as privacy and security.

    • publicationLanguages:en
    Cellular IoT: From 5G to 5G Advanced gives an accessible and insightful explanation of 5G IoT technologies and standards. After an introduction to 5G and 5G Advanced, this book in detail goes through the 5G features that are vital for the support of IoT use cases. It describes how the 5G New Radio (NR) access technology has been adapted to provide cost- and energy-efficient connectivity for massive IoT and broadband IoT, as well as providing high data rates, ultra-reliability, and low latency to support immersive experience and time-critical communications. This book also discusses adaptations to support satellite communication, the future of massive IoT and how 3GPP is about to extend its support to near zero-energy and low-complexity devices and use cases. These forward-looking features will help evolve 5G and 5G Advanced toward realizing 6G visions such as a connected, sustainable, digitalized, and programmable physical world.

  • Machine Learning for Low-Latency Communications

    • publicationLanguages:en
    Machine Learning for Low-Latency Communications presents the principles and practice of various deep learning methodologies for mitigating three critical latency components: access latency, transmission latency, and processing latency. In particular, the book develops learning to estimate methods via algorithm unrolling and multiarmed bandit for reducing access latency by enlarging the number of concurrent transmissions with the same pilot length. Task-oriented learning to compress methods based on information bottleneck are given to reduce the transmission latency via avoiding unnecessary data transmission.Lastly, three learning to optimize methods for processing latency reduction are given which leverage graph neural networks, multi-agent reinforcement learning, and domain knowledge. Low-latency communications attracts considerable attention from both academia and industry, given its potential to support various emerging applications such as industry automation, autonomous vehicles, augmented reality and telesurgery. Despite the great promise, achieving low-latency communications is critically challenging. Supporting massive connectivity incurs long access latency, while transmitting high-volume data leads to substantial transmission latency.
