Abstract:Deterministic technology is an important research content to meet the deterministic forwarding requirements of 6G emerging services. As the kernel system of Industry 4.0, the deterministic guarantee of Cyber-Physical System(CPS) is of vital importance for the efficiency and stability of production and the safety and reliability of service. Focusing on the deterministic requirements of CPS represented by industrial Internet, a CPS system architecture based on deterministic network technology is proposed, including deterministic communication network and deterministic system components. On this basis, the proposed system architecture is detailed designed for three typical use cases: low delay cloud control scenario, high reliability mobile control scenario and large bandwidth closed-loop control scenario, and the determinacy of delay, jitter, reliability and bandwidth is analyzed.

Abstract:With the development of mobile communication technology, the 6th Generation mobile networks(6G) network will ease the pressure on the bearer network through distributed network sinking, and optimize resource allocation through distributed coordination. However, how to ensure distributed trustworthiness and help the multi-party collaborative system is an upcoming security challenge. As a distributed ledger technology, blockchain can be applied to cross-domain authentication and cross-domain resource coordination. Blockchain can ensure the transparency of transactions and the credibility of data, and establish a trust relationship between multiple participants, which become the key technology to solve distributed trust.

Abstract:With the development of delay-sensitive services such as telemedicine and smart factories, the demand for mobile deterministic networks continues to increase. The 3GPP R16 version proposes the 5G TSC network architecture of 5G coordinated TSN, which realizes the deterministic service of the mobile network. However, the 5G TSC network architecture still faces many technical problems: not supporting joint service scheduling, not supporting long-distance WAN transmission, and not supporting application collaboration. Therefore, this paper sorts out the promotion process of 3GPP supporting mobile deterministic networks, clarifies the reasons for the existence of problems, and provides solutions based on artificial intelligence algorithms for 6G networks.

Abstract:In this paper,non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA) schemes with reconfigurable intelligent surface(RIS) and decode-and-forward(DF) relay are proposed according to deep coverage requirements in 5G-Advanced and 6G. Then, system model of NOMA-RIS and NOMA-DF relay schemes are established. System analysis of NOMA-RIS and NOMA-DF relay are compared, including capacity and energy efficient. Numerical simulation and comparison analysis in typical scenarios show that RIS obtains more energy efficiency gain than DF relay as the number of array elements increases.
