Developments of 5G Technology

This technology is the future of current LTE technology which would be a boost to the future of wireless and computer networks, as the speeds would be way higher than the current LTE networks, which will push the technology to a new level. This technology will make the radio channels to support data access speeds up to 10 Gb/s which will turn the bandwidth radio channels as WiFi. Comparing it with other LTE technology\u27s it has high speed and capacity, support interactive multimedia, voice, internet and its data rate is 1 Gbps which makes it faster than other LTE’s . This is much more effective than other technology’s due to its advanced billing interfaces. This paper provides detail explanation of 5G technology, its architecture, challenges, advantages and disadvantages, issues and ends with future of 5G technology

DPRL: Task offloading strategy based on differential privacy and reinforcement learning in edge computing

Mobile edge computing has been widely used in various IoT devices due to its excellent computing power and good interaction speed. Task offloading is the core of mobile edge computing. However, most of the existing task offloading strategies only focus on improving the unilateral performance of MEC, such as security, delay, and overhead. Therefore, focus on the security, delay and overhead of MEC, we propose a task offloading strategy based on differential privacy and reinforcement learning. This strategy optimizes the overhead required for the task offloading process while protecting user privacy. Specifically, before task offloading, differential privacy is used to interfere with the user’s location information to avoid malicious edge servers from stealing user privacy. Then, on the basis of ensuring user privacy and security, combined with the resource environment of the MEC network, reinforcement learning is used to select appropriate edge servers for task offloading. Simulation results show that our scheme improves the performance of MEC in many aspects, especially in security and resource consumption. Compared with the typical privacy protection scheme, the security is improved by 7%, and the resource consumption is reduced by 9% compared with the typical task offloading strategy.This work was supported in part by the Shandong Provincial Natural Science Foundation, China, under Grant ZR2020MF006; in part by the Industry-University Research Innovation Foundation of Ministry of Education of China under Grant 2021FNA01001 and Grant 2021FNA01005; in part by the Major Scientific and Technological Projects of the China National Petroleum Corp.

A novel multipath-transmission supported software defined wireless network architecture

The inflexible management and operation of today\u27s wireless access networks cannot meet the increasingly growing specific requirements, such as high mobility and throughput, service differentiation, and high-level programmability. In this paper, we put forward a novel multipath-transmission supported software-defined wireless network architecture (MP-SDWN), with the aim of achieving seamless handover, throughput enhancement, and flow-level wireless transmission control as well as programmable interfaces. In particular, this research addresses the following issues: 1) for high mobility and throughput, multi-connection virtual access point is proposed to enable multiple transmission paths simultaneously over a set of access points for users and 2) wireless flow transmission rules and programmable interfaces are implemented into mac80211 subsystem to enable service differentiation and flow-level wireless transmission control. Moreover, the efficiency and flexibility of MP-SDWN are demonstrated in the performance evaluations conducted on a 802.11 based-testbed, and the experimental results show that compared to regular WiFi, our proposed MP-SDWN architecture achieves seamless handover and multifold throughput improvement, and supports flow-level wireless transmission control for different applications
