Existing approaches typically rely on latency measurements, detecting violations only after they occur, or on pre-planned network configurations, which are impractical in highly dynamic environments such as mobile device communication. In this work, we propose a proactive analytical approach for predicting Worst-Case Latencies (WCLs) in 5G networks before violations occur. Our method derives upper bounds on latency analytically, ensuring both explainability and computational efficiency. Additionally, we introduce the concept of a Validity Interval (VI), which quantifies how long a latency prediction remains valid. We extensively evaluate our solution in synthetic and realistic simulations to define the impact of key parameters of our new model on global pessimism, computational overhead, and accuracy. Our results show that with complete knowledge of future channel conditions, our analytical model can consistently upper-bound the simulated worst-case latencies. Even with limited knowledge about future channel conditions, using state-of-the-art forecasting methods, our approach still bounds 99.8% of actual latencies, demonstrating its robustness. With this, our works demonstrate that future 5G networks can enable safe and reliable real-time applications even in highly dynamic environments.","PeriodicalId":33803,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society","volume":"6 ","pages":"3853-3867"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10971387","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143896415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the industrial communication networks (ICNets), Doppler shifts can be measured inexpensively by equipping with some mobile sensors. This paper investigates the localization problem of an unknown source using only Doppler shift (DS) when the signal carrier frequency is unavailable. To deal with the DS-only localization under unknown knowledge of carrier frequency, we first propose a semidefinite programming (SDP) solution by applying the convex relaxation technique. The complexity of the SDP solution is high. We also propose a closed-form solution for estimating both the source position and the carrier frequency. Using the weighted least squares (WLS) method, the closed-form solution is segmented into two stages. A bias-compensated scheme is incorporated to reduce the bias of the estimates in the stage-one WLS solution. Subsequently, the root mean square error (RMSE) performance is improved in the stage-two WLS solution, and we design the bias-compensated two-stage WLS (BCTSWLS) solution. Experiments have demonstrated that, compared to traditional localization methods with known carrier frequency, our approach–utilizing SDP and BCTSWLS–effectively solves the localization problem in high-noise environments. This results in greater robustness and accuracy in practical industrial applications. Specifically, in scenarios with fewer sensors or unknown signal frequency, our method effectively reduces bias, achieving accuracy levels close to the Cramér-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB), thereby demonstrating significant performance advantages.","PeriodicalId":33803,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society","volume":"6 ","pages":"3429-3442"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10974419","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143860780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Assessing the unavailability of these functions is critical, as failures can lead to significant service disruptions. However, existing analytical models primarily assume that a function is protected by at most one or two backup servers, limiting their applicability in scenarios requiring higher resilience. To address this limitation, this paper proposes an analytical model for evaluating the unavailability of middlebox functions under a multiple-backup shared protection strategy, where multiple backup servers protect one or more functions. Our model allows each function to be protected by multiple backup servers, ensuring availability while ensuring that each backup server can simultaneously recover at most one function. Utilizing a Markov chain, we analyze state transitions and establish equilibrium-state equations, providing an analytical foundation for evaluating the performance of the multiple-backup shared protection strategy. Numerical results demonstrate that this strategy significantly enhances availability, reducing unavailability by up to 72.3% compared to the single-backup shared protection strategy in the scenarios examined. Our study provides a detailed analysis of backup allocation strategies, focusing on their impact on function availability and offering more profound insights into their effectiveness through theoretical properties and performance comparisons with existing strategies. Our evaluation reveals that the multiple-backup shared protection strategy reduces unavailability by up to 64.8% compared to the single-backup shared protection strategy in the examined allocation cases.","PeriodicalId":33803,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society","volume":"6 ","pages":"3868-3881"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10970014","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143896344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, considerable efforts are being undertaken to develop adaptable spectrum-sharing techniques and handle the unprecedented data traffic demands. Using satellite services to enhance terrestrial communications is emerging as a cutting-edge solution for future application-aware networks. The coexistence of space and ground communications infrastructures, however, introduces exacerbated levels of wireless interference. Hence, intelligent resource allocation strategies are essential to ensure dependable communication and high-capacity broadband access globally. To this end, this manuscript surveys the advances in optimization and performance analysis methods in coexisting satellites networks and future wireless systems. The paper first presents an overview of the existing papers related to the more general scope of space-air-ground communications. The survey then highlights optimization frameworks for coexisting satellites and sixth-generation communication systems (6G), focusing on maximizing sum rate, maximizing energy efficiency,and minimizing transmit power. Additionally, the survey presents a number of papers dealing with performance analysis, namely outage probability, ergodic capacity, average symbol error rate, and effective capacity. The paper further discusses the critical challenges imposed by such integrated systems, e.g., backhaul-access cross-interference, resource coordination, channel modeling, and algorithmic complexity. Finally, we identify several open research issues, e.g., a cognitive radio approach to the considered network, integrated backhaul-access system, integration with emerging disruptive systems, artificial intelligence, and quantum communication technologies for coexisting satellites and future terrestrial networks.","PeriodicalId":33803,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society","volume":"6 ","pages":"3834-3852"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10970079","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143896486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Executing the inference of foundation models in a distributed manner presents significant challenges, particularly in optimizing both computing and communication resources. This work introduces a novel deployment scheme for large language model (LLM) layers that jointly considers computation and communication efficiency within an edge network environment to address these issues. Specifically, we resort to the matching theory to effectively orchestrate the distributed deployment of the LLM layers across the edge nodes of the networks, where nodes have varying computational capacities and communication speed. This framework is based on a two-sided game, enabling each layer to express its individual preferences for node allocation while allowing nodes to prioritize their preferred layers. This mutual selection process minimizes inference latency in the learning process and models the bubble time as game externalities, assuming a sequential pipeline execution. The algorithmic solution reaches a stable matching outcome. Performance evaluation was conducted considering both simulations and a small-scale testbed to measure the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm compared to state-of-the-art alternatives. In particular, the small-scale testbed was developed to distribute an LLM to support autonomous driving, leveraging the vision-language model paradigm. The results highlight performance improvements of up to around 10% in comparison to the Koklata game alternative.","PeriodicalId":33803,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society","volume":"6 ","pages":"3795-3805"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10966456","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143896342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, a significant limitation in current BSR implementations lies in their inflexibility. The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) specifications constrain BSR periodicities to certain quantized values based on Quality of Service (QoS) requirements for various applications. For instance, applications demanding low latency may require very small BSR periodicities, resulting in substantial overhead due to frequent BSR reports. This may result in the wastage of network resources in case of a low BSR periodicity setting. Alternatively, a high BSR periodicity setting may lead packets to wait more at the user buffer and thus result in higher packet latencies. To address these limitations, we propose a framework that predicts time intervals between packet arrivals and subsequently adjusts the BSR periodicity according to the predicted traffic arrivals. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed Machine Learning (ML)-aided BSR reporting provides flexibility in BSR periodicity adapted to the intensity of traffic arrival and converges to optimal periodicity depending on the mean traffic arrival rate.","PeriodicalId":33803,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society","volume":"6 ","pages":"3513-3527"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10965763","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143883328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
