The increasing need for next-generation wireless networks becomes
apparent as the Internet of Everything (IoE) gains prominence in smart
services, projecting widespread popularity in the future. While sixth-
generation (6G) networks have the capability to support a diverse range of
IoE services, their potential limitations in meeting the demands of
innovative applications prompt consideration for seventh-generation (7G)
wireless systems. This article seeks to compare the characteristics of 6G and
the planned 7G wireless systems. The commercial development of fifth-
generation (5G) mobile communication systems is currently underway,
introducing new services and enhancing user experiences. Despite these
advancements, 5G encounters challenges that require on-going
improvements. With the International Telecommunication Union Radio
communication Sector (ITU-R) actively envisioning 6G and anticipating a

in global discussions. This paper delivers a comprehensive overview of the
current understanding of 7G, exploring the vision, technical requirements,

Introduction:
Beginning in 2020, the fifth generation (5G) of wireless
communication networks will be standardized and
implemented globally. Massive machine type
communications (mMTC), ultra-reliable and low
latency communications (uRLLC), and enhanced
mobile broadband (eMBB) are the three main 5G
communication scenarios. In comparison to fourth-
generation (4G) wireless communication systems, the
primary features include 20 Gbps peak data rate, 0.1
Gbps user experienced data rate, 1ms end-to-end
latency, support for 500 km/h mobility, 1 million
devices/km2 connection density, 10 Mbps/m2 area
traffic capacity, three times spectrum efficiency, and
one hundred times energy efficiency. Numerous pivotal
technologies, including millimeter-wave (mmWave),
massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), and
ultra-dense networks (UDN), have been suggested to
realize the objectives of 5G [1]. The standardization of
5G communications has concluded, and the global
deployment of the system is currently underway. Fig. 2
illustrates the worldwide coverage map of commercial
5G networks, encompassing field testing, trials, and
research efforts. South Korea emerged as a pioneer,
implementing extensive 5G deployment across
approximately 85 cities with a network of 86,000 5G
base stations by April 2019 [4]. However, six cities
Seoul, Busan, Daegu, and otherswere home to 85% of
the 5G base stations. There, a distributed architecture
using 3.5 GHz (sub-6) spectrum with deployed data rate
speeds evaluated between 193 and 430 Mbit/s [5]. By
the end of 2025, it is anticipated that over 65% of the
world's population will have access to 5G ultrafast 5G
Internet coverage [6]. These difficulties have spurred
business and academics to begin developing the sixth
generation of wireless communication networks, or 6G,
to meet the demands of the 2030s for communication
services [11] and maintain the sustainability and
competitiveness of wireless communication systems.
Due to the unconventional technologies that 6G

communication systems will adopt, such as an
extremely large bandwidth (THz waves) and high AI
that includes the operational and environment, it is
anticipated that the 6G communication systems will
offer a large coverage that enables subscribers to
communicate with one another everywhere at a high
data rate speed.
Figure 1. Timeline of 6G wireless networks
Similar to 6G in terms of worldwide coverage, the 7G
mobile network will also specify the satellite functions
required for mobile communication. The global
positioning system (GPS) will be provided by the
navigation satellite, the earth imaging satellite will
provide additional information such as weather updates,
and the telecommunications satellite will handle voice
and multimedia communications. Numerous services and
local voice coverage will be supported via the 6G mobile
wireless network. The next generation of mobile
communication will be called 7G. Only until all standards
and procedures are specified will the 7G dream come
true. Perhaps this will be achievable in the generation that
follows 7G and 7.5G. New paradigms in 6G wireless
communication networks will be introduced. We envision
a 6G network, as shown in Fig. 1. In order to offer total
worldwide coverage, 6G wireless communication
networks will first be integrated space-air-ground-sea
networks. The coverage range of wireless communication
networks will be significantly increased by satellite,
unmanned aerial vehicles, and marine communication.
Every spectrum will be thoroughly investigated, including
the sub-6 GHz, mmWave, THz, and optical frequency
bands, to offer a better data rate. AI and ML technologies
will be effectively integrated with 6G wireless
communication networks to enable complete applications
and improve network automation and management.
Moreover, the performance of next-generation networks
can be enhanced by the dynamic orchestration of
networking, caching, and computing resources made
possible by AI technology. The last but certainly not least
trend in network development is the use of robust or
endogenous security for both the physical and network
layers. 6G wireless communication network development
will be significantly aided by industry verticals such as
cloud virtual reality (VR), Internet of Things (IoT)
industry automation, cellular vehicle to everything (C-
V2X), digital twin body area network, energy-efficient
wireless network control, and federated learning systems.
Fig. 2 provides an overview of 6G wireless networks,
including performance indicators, industry verticals,
supporting technologies, new paradigm shifts, and
application scenarios.

6G WIRELESS SYSTEMS:
The next generation of wireless technology is called 6G,
or sixth-generation wireless. In comparison to 5G
networks, which offer significantly increased capacity
and significantly lower latency, 6G networks will be able
to use higher frequencies. Supporting communications
with a latency of only one microsecond is one of the
objectives of the 6G network. The speed difference
between this and a millisecond throughput is 1,000. It is
anticipated that the market for 6G technology will enable
significant advancements in location awareness, presence
technologies, and imaging. Combining artificial
intelligence with the 6G computational infrastructure will
enable it to determine the optimal location for computing.
Decisions about data processing, sharing, and storage will
fall under this category. The fact that 6G is not yet a
working technology is crucial. Although some suppliers
are making investments in the next-generation wireless
standard, the industry standards for network components
that support 6G remain unchanged for years.
Figure 3. The 6G network's concept includes strong security, worldwide coverage, full applications, all spectrum, and
all senses.
6G MARKET STATISTICS AND RESEARCH
ACTIVITIES: -
While 5G wireless systems are still in the early stages of
deployment, 6G wireless systems are anticipated by
extensive research to meet the demands of anticipated
revolutionary IoE smart services shortly. The 6G industry
is expected to reach 4.1 billion US dollars by 2030,
growing at a compound annual growth rate of 70%
between 2025 and 2030 [17]. Out of all the 6G
componentsedge, cloud, and AIcommunication
infrastructure is expected to have the biggest market
share, perhaps reaching USD 1 billion. By 2028, there
will be more than 240 million AI chipsets, another
essential 6G component.
6G: STATE-OF-THE-ART
The cutting-edge developments that make 6G possible are
outlined in this section and are summed up in Table 3.
Federated learning at the network edge was examined by
Khan et al. [30]. For federated learning at the network
edge, resource efficiency, and incentive mechanism
design were taken into consideration. Initially, important
design elements that facilitate federated learning at the
network edge were showcased. The design of learning
algorithms, hardwaresoftware co-design, incentive
mechanisms, and resource optimization are among these
crucial design aspirations. Secondly, an incentive
mechanism based on the Stackelberg game was
suggested. They also provided some numerical results to
support their Stackelberg game-based reward system.
Lastly, several open-ended research difficulties and
potential future study avenues were discussed. It is
advised to further suggest an incentive mechanism based
on contract theory, even though the Stackelberg game-
based incentives mechanism yields reasonable results.
TAXONOMY: -
We take into account emerging machine learning
techniques, networking technology, communication
technologies, and important enablers.
Edge intelligence, hemimorphic encryption, blockchain,
network slicing, artificial intelligence, photonics-based
cognitive radio, and space-air-ground integrated networks
are the main components that enable 6G wireless systems.
While network slicing was suggested as a crucial
networking technology enabler for 5G, its actual
implementation is anticipated for 6G.

AI and ML Technologies: An Overview
The quality of the upcoming wireless network can be
enhanced by the scalable and potent forthcoming AI
and ML technologies. The combination of mobile
computing and big data has given rise to a new field
of study called mobile big data (MBD), which
presents significant issues in terms of source,
analytics, applications, characteristics, and security.
The fact that AI and ML are data-driven is one of
their main advantages. It is said that creating precise
mathematical models for the majority of scenarios in
5G networks is difficult. Instead of using pre-
established set rules, AI and ML techniques learn
features from huge amounts of data, which improves
network efficiency and latency. Furthermore, when
next-generation wireless networks develop, they can
become complicated systems with diverse service
requirements for various networks and applications.
AI and ML algorithms that are predictive and
adaptable can create intelligent, self-aware networks.
Both feed-forward and recurrent ANNs can process
the huge amounts of data that are transmitted between
the device and server, according to the taxonomy of
ANNs.
Because AI and ML are so powerful, they may be
used to different layers of networks. Apart from large
data, the three most important uses of AI and ML
approaches are resource allocation, proactive caching,
and adaptive BS. The future wireless ultra-dense.

Fig. 5
DL-assisted Bayesian optimum estimators for communications at the physical layer
Both data traffic and energy consumption are increased by
the network. Energy efficiency can be increased by using
AI and ML techniques to provide more effective
scheduling and allocation. Wireless network physical layer
optimization is another use for machine learning
techniques. The greater needs of next-generation wireless
systems cannot be addressed by the traditional model-based
approaches, which are unable to manage some complex
and unknown channels. The decoding and detecting
modules of the existing BB system can be redesigned by
leveraging the potential of machine learning.
Physical Layer Applications
Spectral and energy efficiency needs will rise beyond 5G
because of the rapid expansion of wireless
communications. Unlike 5G, the new era's physical layer
will only get more complex, presenting a host of brand-
new difficulties. First of all, a communication system is
too complex and has too many real-world flaws to be
accurately modeled by a mathematical model. Second,
cooperation between various physical layer blocks is
required to remove barriers and attain global optimality.
Third, new techniques for implementing the algorithms are
needed to make them more realistic due to the sharply
rising hardware complexity needed to handle novel
performance difficulties.
KEY 6G TECHNOLOGIES
We have an attractive roadmap for future
communications systems in the form of the
ambitious 6G ambition. The meaning of the
communication system will be further developed to
actualize intelligent services that combine
computing, sensing, and communication with
security assurance, based on utilizing all available
spectra and offering users worldwide coverage. In
this sense, the previously indicated 6G concept
cannot be supported by the essential 5G technology.
Although numerous studies have been conducted on
prospective 6G essential technologies, current
systems are not up to par with the fast-rising demand
for 6G data services. The final undiscovered
spectrum gap between the optical and mmWave
frequency ranges is THz (0.13 THz). substantial
frequency, wide bandwidth, substantial path loss,
strong molecule absorption, a lot of diffuse
dispersion, and an incredibly narrow beam are the
characteristics of THz. Because of its strong support
for ultra-high data rate services, THz is considered
one of the most promising technologies for 6G, even
though actual applications are still some way off.
A. New Spectrum
1)
THz:
By 2024, it's expected that mobile data
traffic will have increased five times. According to
the earlier mentioned 6G vision, there is a growing
need for high data rate transmission and low latency
services due to the quick expansion of video services
and the introduction of new applications like
VR/AR, autonomous driving, and IoTs. The
majority of current 5G solutions are limited to
average rates of up to 1 Gbps and are trapped in the
mmWave spectrum. overcoming issues with non-
negligible spectrum congestion, 5G communication,

Fig. 6. Potential 6G key technologies.
2) Novel Channel Research: The four steps of
traditional channel research are typically channel
measurement, channel modeling, channel characteristic
analysis, and channel parameter estimation. There are
various drawbacks to this passive method of channel
recognition. The measurement of the channel requires a
lot of labor, money, and time. Furthermore, not all
frequency ranges or scenarios can ever be covered by
channel measurements in practice. The estimation of the
channel parameter is further complicated by the
substantial volume of data and the high computational
complexity. Analyzing the channel characteristics is
limited to known circumstances and frequencies.
3) Space channel capacity: The wireless propagation
channel modeling theory and antenna theory link these
two ideas. In particular, the wireless propagation
channel connects the information theory with the EM
theory since it originates from antennas and uses EM
waves to carry information. Figure 12 illustrates how
these traditional views relate to one another. Since
electromagnetic waves (EM waves) are the source of
the channel capacity constraint, EM theory is a crucial
part of wireless communication systems. However,
academics studying wireless communication have not
given significant attention to information theory
research. It should be noted that while 6G's core
technologies present opportunities and challenges for
the fusion of various theories, they also confront the
limitations of individual theories. 6G must achieve
continuous full-space CSI in order to meet new
technical criteria. The near-field range is expanding
with the introduction of 6G new antenna technology
due to the growth in antenna size and number of units.
For instance, short-wave communication antennas can
reach tens of meters in size, and they are inextricably
linked to their communication environment.
Furthermore, when signal sources tend to shift from
discrete to continuous, the antenna's unit spacing
decreases, putting additional demands on how channels
are represented. The number of users of the 6G wireless
communication network is expected to increase as it
grows from local terrestrial coverage to global space-
air-ground-sea integrated network coverage. In order to
inform generalized antenna design and the creation of
continuous full-space wireless channel maps, 6G
wireless communication networks exhibit a trend of
evolution from discrete space to continuous full space.
To that end, CSI at any point in continuous full space
must be obtained, and channel capacity must be
calculated.

CONCLUSIONS: -
To meet the upcoming challenges posed by the sharp rise
in wireless data traffic, industry, and academic
collaboration has begun to design the next generation of
wireless communication systems, or 6G, during the global
deployment of 5G networks. Along with a host of new

services, 6G technology enables bitrates of up to Tbps
with a latency of less than 1ms. To promote future 6G in
the following areas: energy efficiency, intelligence,
spectral efficiency, security, secrecy, privacy,
affordability, and customization, this study began by
outlining a vision and the essential elements.
Subsequently, we talked about the various possible
obstacles linked to 6G technology and the possible ways
to support future 6G. International research initiatives that
seek to develop a vision for future 6G round out this
work. Examine the 5G and 6G wireless technologies and
create a chart outlining the key distinctions between them.
Lastly, introduces the 7G wireless technology, which can
operate at higher frequencies and offer significantly more
capacity and reduced connection latency. The seventh
generation of wireless technology, or 7G, will focus
primarily on research on mobile communication
networks. Future research on the 7G technology must
focus on identifying its advantages over existing wireless
systems.

It depicts that use of an enhanced energy detector instead of conventional energy detector results in better total error rate and optimizes the number of CR nodes. Enhanced energy detector is based on increased positive power as compared to the conventional energy detector whose decision statistics is based on square of signal amplitude. Further, the number of detection stages is optimized by using an expression derived for reducing the total error rate. On the contrary, to reduce the trade off sensing time, the required number of diversity branches is optimized. Clustering approach help to optimize the voting rule at every cluster head with objective to reduce the error probability. With the help of simulations, it is derived that use of MIMO systems achieves better reliability in detecting the vacant spectrum without interfering the primary user.

Spectrum sensing algorithms exploit partial knowledge about the signal structure. A typical strategy for doing this is feature matching, i.e. having prior knowledge about some features of the signal; the detector makes a decision based on whether the feature is present in the input. Maximizing the detection probability for a provided false alarm rate is a hectic challenge for most of the spectral sensing methods. This paper presents a reliable, optimal hybrid spectrum sensing scheme (ROHSS) with hardware impairments for cognitive radio networks. The proposed two-stage ROHSS algorithm utilizes two detectors for low and high Signal Noise Ratio (SNR) bands. In the first stage, a double-threshold improved energy detector is used for the high SNR band and an anti eigen value-based detector is used for the low SNR band based on their merits and complexities. In the second stage, the Student-Teacher Neural Network (STNN) based detector utilizes the estimated energy and eigenvalue of the signal and gives a decision. The main objective of the proposed ROHSS algorithm is to sense the vacant frequency slots and allocate them to the Primary User's (PUs) quickly in order to reduce the delay caused by the efficient operation of the fusion center. The proposed ROHSS algorithm is implemented in both MATLAB and Xilinx simulation tools and the performance is compared with the existing state-of-art algorithms.

Spectrum sensing issue in challenging cognitive radio network. A particular, wideband spectrum sensing gains more attention due to came out 5G wireless networks distinguish by highly data rates in the order of thousands of Gbps. Conventional sensing approach in uses samples for its attention on Nyquist rate. Due to hardware cost and sampling rate control those techniques can sense only one band at a time. limitations (E-CRNs) limitations based limitations (SS) limitations and spectrum aggregation (SA) are proposed for the fifth generation (5G) wireless networks. The E-CRNs jointly exploit the licensed spectrum shared with the primary user (PU) networks and the unlicensed spectrum aggregated from the industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) bands. The PU networks include TV systems in TV white space (TVWS) and different incumbent systems in the long term evolution (LTE) time division duplexing (TDD) bands. The harmful interference from the E-CRNs to the PU networks are delicately controlled. Furthermore, the coexistence between the E-CRNs and other unlicensed systems, such as WiFi, is studied. IN spite of this issue peripheral users have to sense multiple frequency bands using head-on technologies which lead into expand cost, time and problem. Considering the facts and issues, compressive sensing was grated to base the computation time by improvement the sensing process even for medium dimensional resources. Valuable This enhanced decoding algorithm is applied to two existing URA algorithms, and the performance benefits of the algorithm are characterized[24]. In the last decade various researchers paid more attention to improve the performance of compressive sensing in cognitive radio networks based on sensing matrix, sparse representation and recovery process. This survey paper provides an in-depth analysis of conventional models and its sensing strategies in cognitive radio networks along with its merits and demerits to obtain a detailed insight about compressive sensing. The ECRNs framework for 5G wireless communication networks. INTRODUCTION The radio spectrum resources increase due to the improvement in wireless communications. Federal communications commission has set up regulations to access this limited spectrum resource. Using specific wireless services, the spectrum is allocated to the allow users based on spectrum allocation policy which is defined by FCC [1]. In recent years, a lot of research has been done on the effective use of these spectrum bands which are either empty or are not used at full capacities. The (5G) mobile communication system comes into being. Cellular network through Internet of Things (IoT) will be the prime driving force for 5G development as well as for device connection. The fifth generation will give a platform for people of various regions not only to exchangeb information but also the of all things begins from home implementation to industrial applications. authorised users are permit to transmit and receive data through allocation spectrum while, the unlicensed users are unauthorised to utilize the resource. Due to this reason, some of the channels are heavily used and other channels are not used properly which leads into spectrum underutilization. The licensed users are the primary users and the unlicensed users are considered as secondary users. The Primary users will not utilize the resource all the times which a spectrum hole [2]. These holes are not utilized and the spectrum remains unused by licensed user leads into incapacity as the other users do not utilize the spectrum which results into spectrum scarcity. To degrade spectrum scarcity dynamic spectrum operation is introduced to utilize the unused spectrum without excitable the performance to first users. Secondary users are allowed to utilize the spectrum if it is unused in PUs. Cognitive radio network [3] performed by spectrum utilization in this form. It located the available channel and allocates to second users to reduce the powerless in spectrum. Figure 1 gives an illustration of dynamic spectrum access in cognitive radio network.

Sixth-generation (6G) mobile networks will have to cope with diverse threats on a space-air-ground integrated network environment, novel technologies, and an accessible user information explosion. However, for now, security and privacy issues for 6G remain largely in concept. This survey provides a systematic overview of security and privacy issues based on prospective technologies for 6G in the physical, connection, and service layers, as well as through lessons learned from the failures of existing security architectures and state-of-the-art defenses. Two key lessons learned are as follows. First, other than inheriting vulnerabilities from the previous generations, 6G has new threat vectors from new radio technologies, such as the exposed location of radio stripes in ultra-massive MIMO systems at Terahertz bands and attacks against pervasive intelligence. Second, physical layer protection, deep network slicing, quantum-safe communications , artificial intelligence (AI) security, platform-agnostic security, real-time adaptive security, and novel data protection mechanisms such as distributed ledgers and differential privacy are the top promising techniques to mitigate the attack magnitude and personal data breaches substantially.

Objective: Individuals with neurological disease or injury such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spinal cord injury or stroke may become tetraplegic, unable to speak or even locked-in. For people with these conditions, current assistive technologies are often ineffective. Brain-computer interfaces are being developed to enhance independence and restore communication in the absence of physical movement. Over the past decade, individuals with tetraplegia have achieved rapid on-screen typing and point-and-click control of tablet apps using intracortical brain-computer interfaces (iBCIs) that decode intended arm and hand movements from neural signals recorded by implanted microelectrode arrays. However, cables used to convey neural signals from the brain tether participants to amplifiers and decoding computers and require expert oversight, severely limiting when and where iBCIs could be available for use. Here, we demonstrate the first human use of a wireless broadband iBCI. Methods: Based on a prototype system previously used in pre-clinical research, we replaced the external cables of a 192-electrode iBCI with wireless transmitters and achieved high-resolution recording and decoding of broadband field potentials and spiking activity from people with paralysis. Two participants in an ongoing pilot clinical trial completed on-screen item selection tasks to assess iBCI-enabled cursor control. Results: Communication bitrates were equivalent between cabled and wireless configurations. Participants also used the wireless iBCI to control a standard commercial tablet computer to browse the web and use several mobile applications. Within-day comparison of cabled and wireless interfaces evaluated bit error rate, packet loss, and the recovery of spike rates and spike waveforms from the recorded neural signals. In a representative use case, the wireless system recorded intracortical signals from two arrays in one participant continuously through a 24-hour period at home. Significance: Wireless multi-electrode recording of broadband neural signals over extended periods introduces a valuable tool for human neuroscience research and is an important step toward practical deployment of iBCI technology for independent use by individuals with paralysis. On-demand access to high-performance iBCI technology in the home promises to enhance independence and restore communication and mobility for individuals with severe motor impairment.

Spectrum Sensing (SS) is an active research area, essential to meet the requirement of efficient spectrum utilization as it detects the vacant bands. This paper develops a Hybrid Blind Detection (HBD) technique for cooperative spectrum sensing which combines the Energy Detector (ED) and the Anti-Eigen Value Detection (AVD) techniques together to enhance the detection accuracy of a cognitive radio. Collaboration among the cognitive users is achieved to reduce the error and hard fusion based detection is implemented to detect the existence of primary user. The detection accuracy of the design is evaluated with respect to detection probabilities and the results are examined for improvements with the traditional two stage detection techniques. Fusion rules for the cooperative environment are implemented and compared to detect majority rule suitable for the proposed design.

Sensory feedback is critical to the performance of neural prostheses that restore movement control after neurological injury. Recent advances in direct neural control of paralyzed arms present new requirements for miniaturized, low-power sensor systems. To address this challenge, we developed a fully-integrated wireless sensor-brain-machine interface (SBMI) system for communicating key somatosensory signals, fingertip forces and limb joint angles, to the brain. The system consists of a tactile force sensor, an electrogoniometer, and a neural interface. The tactile force sensor features a novel optical waveguide on CMOS design for sensing. The electrogoniometer integrates an ultra low-power digital signal processor (DSP) for real-time joint angle measurement. The neural interface enables bidirectional neural stimulation and recording. Innovative designs of sensors and sensing interfaces, analog-to-digital converters (ADC) and ultra wide-band (UWB) wireless transceivers have been developed. The prototypes have been fabricated in 180nm standard CMOS technology and tested on the bench and in vivo. The developed system provides a novel solution for providing somatosensory feedback to next-generation neural prostheses.

Most of the conventional spectrum sensing algorithms is based on cognition of transmitting signal features. The general approach for utilizing this cognition property is by bearing some information of the signal being transmitted. At the receiver end the detector obtains final decision explaining the existence of the signal in a certain specific spectrum band it utilizes for transmission. Moreover, in order to ameliorate the detection accuracy for a fixed value of false alarm probability is a dispute to maximum spectrum detection approaches. In this paper, we present a reliable optimal hybrid spectrum sensing scheme (ROHSS) based on energy detection for cognitive radio network. The proposed two stage ROHSS algorithm implements two detectors acting simultaneously corresponding to signals containing high and low signal to noise ratio. In first stage, a enhanced energy detector (EED) is used for the high Signal to noise ration and an anti eigenvalue-based sensor detecting the signals with low signal to noise ratio. In second stage, student-teacher neural network (STNN) based sensor takes advantage of approximated eigen values of the transmitted signal and obtains a result regarding the existence of the signal. The main objective of the developed ROHSS algorithm is to detect the available frequency slots and allow the cognitive users immediately in order to minimize the delay because of the efficient performance of the decision fusion method. The proposed ROHSS algorithm is analyzed and the performance is compared with the available sensing algorithms.

High spectrum efficiency (SE) requirement and massive connections are the main challenges for the fifth generation (5G) and beyond 5G (B5G) wireless networks, especially for the case when Internet of Things (IoT) devices are located in a disaster area. Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)-based unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-aided network is emerging as a promising technique to overcome the above challenges. In this paper, an emergency communications framework of NOMA-based UAV-aided networks is established, where the disasters scenarios can be divided into three broad categories that have named emergency areas, wide areas and dense areas. First, a UAV-enabled uplink NOMA system is established to gather information from IoT devices in emergency areas. Then, a joint UAV deployment and resource allocation scheme for a multi-UAV enabled NOMA system is developed to extend the UAV coverage for IoT devices in wide areas. Furthermore, a UAV equipped with an antenna array has been considered to provide wireless service for multiple devices that are densely distributed in disaster areas. Simulation results are provided to validate the effectiveness of the above three schemes. Finally, potential research directions and challenges are also highlighted and discussed.

The recent growth in intensive services and applications demand has triggered the functional integration of cloud computing with edge computing capabilities. One of the main goals is to allow a fast processing to tasks with strict real time constraints in order to lower the task dropping probability due to expiration of the associated deadlines. This paper deals with the performance evaluation and optimization of a three layers cloud-fog-edge computing infrastructure by resorting to the use of queueing theory results. In particular, a Markov queueing system model with reneging is proposed for the cloud subsystem, in order to consider the premature computation requests departure due to their deadline expiration. Furthermore, a computational resources allocation method is proposed with the aim at maximizing the social welfare metric, constrained to specific quality of service requirements. Finally, the proposed queueing theory analysis as well as of the computational resources allocation approach is validated by comparing the obtained analytical predictions with simulation results.
