      摘要:The massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology is considered to be one of the core technologies of the next generation communication system.To fully utilize the potential gains of MIMO systems,the base station should accurately acquire the channel state information (CSI).Due to the significant increase in the number of antennas,the traditional feedback schemes based on the codebook or vector quantization are faced with great technical challenges.Recently,deep learning (DL) has provided a new idea for solving CSI feedback problems in massive MIMO systems.It was focused on the key technologies of the CSI feedback for massive MIMO systems.Firstly,the background and significance of the CSI feedback were expounded.Then,a model for the massive MIMO system was established and the sparse nature of CSI was analyzed.Several schemes of introducing DL into the CSI feedback mechanism were introduced and compared in detail.Finally,a further prospect on the development trend of the CSI feedback based on DL was made.

      摘要:In order to solve the security problem of cognitive Internet of things (IoT),an intelligent power control algorithm of covert communication in cognitive IoT based on generative adversarial network was proposed.Firstly,the covert communication optimization problem in the cognitive IoT was transformed into a dynamic game between the cognitive IoT user and the eavesdropper.Then,the generator imitated the cognitive IoT user,while the discriminator imitated the eavesdropper.The generator and the discriminator were constructed by the three-layer neural network respectively.Through the two-person zero-sum game,the learning optimization process was realized to achieve the Nash equilibrium,and finally the covert power control scheme was obtained.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can not only obtain near-optimal covert power control scheme with rapid convergence ability,but also be more practical in the future cognitive IoT.

      摘要:To realize Internet of everything (IoE),the 6G cellular Internet of things (IoT) network need to provide wireless access with low power,massive connectivity and wide coverage.Through the analysis and research on the massive access technology in 6G cellular IoT network,especially in combination with the sporadic characteristics of IoT applications,a new access framework based on the grant-free random access protocol was designed to facilitate efficient massive access with limited spectrum resources.The proposed framework consisted of two phases.One was joint activity detection and channel estimation.The other was data transmission,which was divided into two categories,uplink data transmission and downlink data transmission,according to the different directions of data transmission.Due to the uncertainty of channel state information at the base station under the massive grant-free random access and considering the low power demand of 6G IoT devices,two robust uplink and downlink access algorithms were designed by maximizing the system energy efficiency.Extensive simulation results validate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed algorithm.

      摘要:With the development of the Internet of things,multiple real-time applications will emerge in future 6G communication network.Driven by demands on low-latency services of multiple real-time applications,mobile edge computing (MEC) will become an important technology to improve the user experience and reduce the network cost.However,the computing capacity of a single MEC server is limited,which induces that it is difficult to meet the low-latency requirement of data processing for the computation-intensive applications.A heterogeneous multi-layer mobile edge computing (HetMEC) network architecture was proposed to jointly utilize the computing and transmission resources of both the cloud computing center and multi-layer MEC servers.By reasonably dividing and offloading computing tasks,reliable and efficient computing services were provided for edge applications.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm could effectively reduce the processing latency,improve the network processing rate and robustness.
