AbstractThe sixth generation (6G) mobile systems will create new markets, services, and industries making possible a plethora of new opportunities and solutions. Commercially successful rollouts will involve scaling enabling technologies, such as cloud radio access networks, virtualization, and artificial intelligence. This paper addresses the principal technologies in the transition towards next generation mobile networks. The convergence of 6G key-performance indicators along with evaluation methodologies and use cases are also addressed. Free-space optics, Terahertz systems, photonic integrated circuits, softwarization, massive multiple-input multiple-output signaling, and multi-core fibers, are among the technologies identified and discussed. Finally, some of these technologies are showcased in an experimental demonstration of a mobile fronthaul system based on millimeter 5G NR OFDM signaling compliant with 3GPP Rel. 15. The signals are generated by a bespoke 5G baseband unit and transmitted through both a 10 km prototype multi-core fiber and 4 m wireless V-band link using a pair of directional 60 GHz antennas with 10° beamwidth. Results shown that the 5G and beyond fronthaul system can successfully transmit signals with both wide bandwidth (up to 800 MHz) and fully centralized signal processing. As a result, this system can support large capacity and accommodate several simultaneous users as a key candidate for next generation mobile networks. Thus, these technologies will be needed for fully integrated, heterogeneous solutions to benefit from hardware commoditization and softwarization. They will ensure the ultimate user experience, while also anticipating the quality-of-service demands that future applications and services will put on 6G networks.

Current advances in portable devices, wireless technologies, and distributed systems have created a mobile computing environment that is characterized by a large scale of dynamism. Diversities in network connectivity, platform capability, and resource availability can significantly affect the application performance. Traditional middleware systems are not prepared to offer proper support for addressing the dynamic aspects of mobile systems. Modern distributed applications need a middleware that is capable of adapting to environment changes and that supports the required level of quality of service. This paper represents the experience of several research projects related to next generation middleware systems. We first indicate the major challenges in mobile computing systems and try to identify the main requirements for mobile middleware systems. The different categories of mobile middleware technologies are reviewed and their strength and weakness are analyzed.

Performance of Non-Binary LDPC Codes for Next Generation Mobile SystemsA new family of non-binary LDPC is presented that are based on a finite field GF(64). They may be successfully implemented in single-carrier and OFDM transmission system. Results prove that DAVINCI codes allow for improving the system performance and may be considered to be applied in the future mobile system.

Next generation wireless systems support a wide range of communication protocols and services, opening new design challenges. The desired flexibility presupposes effective approaches that exploit the system configurations with an optimal way. A well-known state-of-the-art example of a wireless platform is the Software Defined Radio (SDR). SDRs are characterized by strict performance requirements that introduce a lot of dynamism in respect with the resource utilization. Additionally, these devices experience transient overloads due to workload bursts or hardware malfunctions. The aforementioned reasons lead the system to take timely reactions to unexpected usage scenarios. The current chapter concentrates on these design challenges exploiting the system scenario methodology, proposing solutions especially for wireless communication systems. More precisely, it will be studied the tradeoffs between the representativeness of the scenarios (clustering overhead), the implementation of the scenario detection (detection overhead) and the platform tuning cost (switching overhead).

This book chapter presents various relay selection policies based on spectral efficient techniques for the next generation mobile systems. Successive opportunistic relaying (SOR) that leverages the half-duplex constraint of conventional relays through concurrent transmissions is described, while proposing techniques to reduce the effect of inter-relay interference (IRI). An extension of SOR is defined for the case of out-of-band relaying, when additional spectrum bands are available and in networks with buffer-aided relays. Moreover, the use of full-duplex (FD) relays is outlined, in view of the effect of loop-interference (LI) from the relay's output to its input and, also, the power reduction is presented. As networks with multiple relays suffer from increased coordination overhead, a reduced Channel State Information (CSI) policy is proposed. For every policy, performance evaluation is provided in terms of outage probability, average throughput, power reduction and switching rate. Finally, open problems in spectral-efficient opportunistic relay selection policies are discussed.

The tremendous use of telecommunication services and the existence of various types of mobile devices and networks impose a huge need for a new technology that can integrate these devices and networks to provide adequate services and applications to satisfy the user’s needs. The new technology tries to eliminate all boundaries of telecommunications and leads to a universal approach that is able to demonstrate an easy and efficient technique to overcome all technical and managerial issues. This chapter, first, studies and analyzes the performance of existing mobile systems and their services and estimates the future aspects of next generation mobile communications. Second, a new approach is proposed and investigated. The new approach is based on using the abilities of satellite communications as part of the mobile communication systems. Such an approach introduces advanced communication solutions that could be set up anywhere/anytime subject to the existence of satellite coverage.
