Efficient Machine-type Communication using Multi-metric Context-awareness for Cars used as Mobile Sensors in Upcoming 5G Networks
Upcoming 5G-based communication networks will be confronted with huge
increases in the amount of transmitted sensor data related to massive
deployments of static and mobile Internet of Things (IoT) systems. Cars acting
as mobile sensors will become important data sources for cloud-based
applications like predictive maintenance and dynamic traffic forecast. Due to
the limitation of available communication resources, it is expected that the
grows in Machine-Type Communication (MTC) will cause severe interference with
Human-to-human (H2H) communication. Consequently, more efficient transmission
methods are highly required. In this paper, we present a probabilistic scheme
for efficient transmission of vehicular sensor data which leverages favorable
channel conditions and avoids transmissions when they are expected to be highly
resource-consuming. Multiple variants of the proposed scheme are evaluated in
comprehensive realworld experiments. Through machine learning based combination
of multiple context metrics, the proposed scheme is able to achieve up to 164%
higher average data rate values for sensor applications with soft deadline
requirements compared to regular periodic transmission.Comment: Best Student Paper Awar
Thirty Years of Machine Learning: The Road to Pareto-Optimal Wireless Networks
Future wireless networks have a substantial potential in terms of supporting
a broad range of complex compelling applications both in military and civilian
fields, where the users are able to enjoy high-rate, low-latency, low-cost and
reliable information services. Achieving this ambitious goal requires new radio
techniques for adaptive learning and intelligent decision making because of the
complex heterogeneous nature of the network structures and wireless services.
Machine learning (ML) algorithms have great success in supporting big data
analytics, efficient parameter estimation and interactive decision making.
Hence, in this article, we review the thirty-year history of ML by elaborating
on supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning and deep
learning. Furthermore, we investigate their employment in the compelling
applications of wireless networks, including heterogeneous networks (HetNets),
cognitive radios (CR), Internet of things (IoT), machine to machine networks
(M2M), and so on. This article aims for assisting the readers in clarifying the
motivation and methodology of the various ML algorithms, so as to invoke them
for hitherto unexplored services as well as scenarios of future wireless
networks.Comment: 46 pages, 22 fig
A Survey of Deep Learning for Data Caching in Edge Network
The concept of edge caching provision in emerging 5G and beyond mobile
networks is a promising method to deal both with the traffic congestion problem
in the core network as well as reducing latency to access popular content. In
that respect end user demand for popular content can be satisfied by
proactively caching it at the network edge, i.e, at close proximity to the
users. In addition to model based caching schemes learning-based edge caching
optimizations has recently attracted significant attention and the aim
hereafter is to capture these recent advances for both model based and data
driven techniques in the area of proactive caching. This paper summarizes the
utilization of deep learning for data caching in edge network. We first outline
the typical research topics in content caching and formulate a taxonomy based
on network hierarchical structure. Then, a number of key types of deep learning
algorithms are presented, ranging from supervised learning to unsupervised
learning as well as reinforcement learning. Furthermore, a comparison of
state-of-the-art literature is provided from the aspects of caching topics and
deep learning methods. Finally, we discuss research challenges and future
directions of applying deep learning for cachin
A Comprehensive Investigation of Beam Management Through Conventional and Deep Learning Approach
5G spectrum uses cutting-edge technology which delivers high data rates, low latency, increased capacity, and high spectrum utilization. To cater to these requirements various technologies are available such as Multiple Access Technology (MAT), Multiple Input Multiple Output technology (MIMO), Millimetre (mm) wave technology, Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access Technology (NOMA), Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer (SWIPT). Of all available technologies, mmWave is prominent as it provides favorable opportunities for 5G. Millimeter-wave is capable of providing a high data rate i.e., 10 Gbit/sec. Also, a tremendous amount of raw bandwidth is available i.e., around 250 GHz, which is an attractive characteristic of the mmWave band to relieve mobile data traffic congestion in the low frequency band. It has a high frequency i.e., 30 – 300 GHz, giving very high speed. It has a very short wavelength i.e., 1-10mm, because of this it provides the compact size of the component. It will provide a throughput of up to 20 Gbps. It has narrow beams and will increase security and reduce interference. When the main beam of the transmitter and receiver are not aligned properly there is a problem in ideal communication. To solve this problem beam management is one of the solutions to form a strong communication link between transmitter and receiver. This paper aims to address challenges in beam management and proposes a framework for realization. Towards the same, the paper initially introduces various challenges in beam management. Towards building an effective beam management system when a user is moving, various steps are present like beam selection, beam tracking, beam alignment, and beam forming. Hence the subsequent sections of the paper illustrate various beam management procedures in mmWave using conventional methods as well as using deep learning techniques. The paper also presents a case study on the framework's implementation using the above-mentioned techniques in mmWave communication. Also glimpses on future research directions are detailed in the final sections. Such beam management techniques when used for mmWave technology will enable build fast, efficient, and capable 5G networks
