NIST Expert: More Than the Name, Use Cases Will Define 6G
6GWorld had the chance to catch up with Nada Golmie, NextG Channel Model Alliance chair at NIST, and talk about 6G and standards
AceFL: Federated Learning Accelerating in 6G-enabled Mobile Edge Computing Networks – IEEE
Heterogeneity among distributed edge devices and the limitation of resources may degrade the training efficiency of Federated Edge Learning over 6G-enabled mobile edge computing (MEC) networks. Taking this challenge into account, a novel federated learning scheme is proposed in this paper to accelerate the training process.
The Roadmap of Communication and Networking in 6G for the Metaverse – IEEE
This paper aims to depict the roadmap to the Metaverse in terms of communication and networking in 6G, including illustrating the framework of the Metaverse, revealing the strict requirements and challenges for 6G to realize the Metaverse, and discussing the fundamental technologies to be integrated in 6G to drive the implementation of the Metaverse, including intelligent sensing, digital twin (DT), space-air-ground-sea integrated network (SAGSIN), multi-access edging computing (MEC), blockchain, and the involved security issues.
BEAT: Blockchain-Enabled Accountable Infrastructure Sharing in 6G and Beyond – Arxiv
The primary challenges for future technologies are not just low-latency and high-bandwidth. The more critical problem Mobile Service Providers (MSPs) will face will be in balancing the inflated demands of network connections and customers’ trust in the network service, that is, being able to interconnect billions of unique devices while adhering to the agreed terms of Service Level Agreements (SLAs). To meet these targets, it is self-evident that MSPs cannot operate in a solitary environment. They must enable cooperation among themselves in a manner that ensures trust, both between themselves as well as with customers. In this study, we present the BEAT (Blockchain Enabled Accountable and Transparent) Infrastructure Sharing architecture. BEAT exploits the inherent properties of permissioned type of distributed ledger technology (i.e., permissioned distributed ledgers) to deliver on accountability and transparency metrics whenever infrastructure needs to be shared between providers. We also propose a lightweight method that enables device-level accountability.
6G: The Network Of Technology Convergence
This ABI Research paper will elaborate on some potential market opportunities 6G will enable, notably the build-up towards the metaverse. Most importantly, it will define the 6G vision and the three types of convergence this vision will encapsulate, namely:
– Communications and computing convergence.
– The convergence of many access technologies to enable ubiquitous coverage around the globe.
– The convergence between virtual and physical spaces.
