Recent technological advancements in the Internet and Information Communication (ICT) have paved the way for revolutionary technologies, making life easier for humankind. IoT has found applications in almost every sector, enabling the connectivity of digital objects to the Internet. This technology has undergone significant advancements, leading to the emergence of a new paradigm called the Internet of Nano Things (IoNT). IoNT represents the latest evolution of IoT and has garnered attention from researchers and scientists. By combining nanotechnology with IoT, IoNT offers a more advanced paradigm than its generic counterpart, potentially reshaping the current IoT landscape. However, these limitless benefits come with challenges that persist in both IoT and the emerging IoNT ecosystem. Moreover, additional challenges need to be addressed due to the miniature nature and novelty of the IoNT ecosystem. The lack of research in the field of IoNT has motivated us to undertake this study. Our research aims to highlight the security and privacy challenges specific to IoNT and nano communication. Furthermore, we examine important architectures related to IoNT, nanoscale communication, real-life applications of IoNT, as well as simulators and testbeds useful for IoNT. We also address challenges associated with the incorporation of novel technologies, primarily Artificial Intelligence (AI), into IoNT. To achieve this, we provide a detailed review of existing works related to the IoNT ecosystem, emphasizing security and privacy concerns. Additionally, we explore the opportunities and future directions for IoNT, serving as a reference for further research.","PeriodicalId":55029,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials","volume":"27 2","pages":"1152-1190"},"PeriodicalIF":34.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141546033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fundamental goal of AIoT is to establish a self-organizing, self-learning, self-adaptive, and continuous-evolving AIoT system by orchestrating intelligent connections among Humans, Machines, and IoT devices. Although advanced deep learning techniques enhance the efficient data processing and intelligent analysis of complex IoT data, they still suffer from notable challenges when deployed to practical AIoT applications, such as constrained resources, dynamic environments, and diverse task requirements. Knowledge transfer, a popular and promising area in machine learning, is an effective method to enhance learning performance by avoiding the exorbitant costs associated with data recollection and model retraining. Notably, although there are already some valuable and impressive surveys on transfer learning, these surveys introduce approaches in a relatively isolated way and lack the recent advances of various knowledge transfer techniques for AIoT field. This survey endeavors to introduce a new concept of knowledge transfer, referred to as Crowd Knowledge Transfer (CrowdTransfer), which aims to transfer prior knowledge learned from a crowd of agents to reduce the training cost and as well as improve the performance of the model in real-world complicated scenarios. Particularly, we present four transfer modes from the perspective of crowd intelligence, including derivation, sharing, evolution and fusion modes. Building upon conventional transfer learning methods, we further delve into advanced crowd knowledge transfer models from three perspectives for various AIoT applications: intra-agent knowledge transfer, centralized inter-agent knowledge transfer, and decentralized inter-agent knowledge transfer. Furthermore, we explore some applications of AIoT areas, such as human activity recognition, urban computing, multi-robot system, and smart factory.

In GAS networks, where ground and aerial users share network resources, ubiquitous and accurate user localization becomes indispensable, not only as an end-user service but also as an enabler for location-aware communications. This breaks the convention of having localization as a byproduct in networks primarily designed for communications. To address these imperative localization needs, the design and utilization of ground, aerial, and space anchors require thorough investigation. In this tutorial, we provide an in-depth systemic analysis of the radio localization problem in GAS networks, considering ground and aerial users as targets to be localized. Starting from a survey of the most relevant works, we then define the key characteristics of anchors and targets in GAS networks. Subsequently, we detail localization fundamentals in GAS networks, considering 3D positions, orientations, and velocities. Afterward, we thoroughly analyze radio localization systems in GAS networks, detailing the system model, design aspects, and considerations for each of the three GAS anchors. Preliminary results are presented to provide a quantifiable perspective on key design aspects in GAS-based localization scenarios. We then identify the vital roles 6G enablers are expected to play in radio localization in GAS networks.","PeriodicalId":55029,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials","volume":"27 1","pages":"218-258"},"PeriodicalIF":34.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141944597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering the fundamental limitations of the SAGSIN including large-scale scenarios, highly dynamic channels, and limited device capabilities, traditional communications based on Shannon information theory cannot satisfy the communication demands. Moreover, bit-level reconstruction is usually redundant for many human-to-machine or machine-to-machine applications in the SAGSIN. Therefore, it is imperative to consider high-level communications towards semantics exchange, called semantic communications. In this survey, according to the interpretations of the term “semantics”, including “significance”, “meaning”, and “effectiveness-related information”, we review state-of-the-art works on semantic communications from three perspectives, which are 1) significance representation and protection, 2) meaning similarity measurement and meaning enhancement, and 3) ultimate effectiveness and effectiveness yielding. Sequentially, three types of semantic communication systems can be correspondingly introduced, namely the significance-oriented, meaning-oriented, and effectiveness/task-oriented semantic communication systems. Implementation of the above three types of systems in the SAGSIN necessitates a new perception-communication-computing-actuation-integrated paradigm (PCCAIP), where all the available perception, computing, and actuation techniques jointly facilitate significance-oriented sampling & transmission, semantic extraction & reconstruction, and task decision. Finally, we point out some future challenges on semantic communications in the SAGSIN.

However, despite a recent surge of research activities in this area, remarkably, the research landscape is still limited in at least three ways. First and foremost, the definition of a “semantic communication system” is ambiguous and varies widely between different studies. This lack of consensus makes it challenging to develop rigorous and scalable frameworks for building semantic communication networks. Secondly, current approaches to building semantic communication networks are limited by their reliance on data-driven and information-driven AI-augmented networks. These networks remain “tied” to the data, which limits their ability to perform versatile logic. In contrast, knowledge-driven and reasoning-driven AI-native networks would allow for more flexible and powerful communication capabilities. However, there is currently a lack of technical foundations to support such networks. Thirdly, the concept of “semantic representation” is not well understood yet, and its role in embedding meaning and structure in data transferred across wireless network is still a subject of active research. The development of semantic representations that are minimalist, generalizable, and efficient is critical to enabling the transmitter and receiver to generate content via a minimally semantic representation. To address these limitations, in this tutorial, we propose the first rigorous and holistic vision of an end-to-end semantic communication network that is founded on novel concepts from artificial intelligence (AI), causal reasoning, transfer learning, and minimum description length theory. We first discuss how the design of semantic communication networks requires a move from data-driven AI-augmented networks, in which wireless networks remain “tied” to data, towards reasoning-driven AI-native networks which can perform versatile logic and generalizable intelligence. We then distinguish the concept of semantic communications from several other approaches that have been conflated with it. We opine that building effective and efficient semantic communication systems necessitates surpassing the creation of new encoder and decoder types at the transmitter/receiver side, or developing an “AI for wireless” framework that only extracts application features or fine-tunes wireless protocols/algorithms. Then, we identify the main tenets that are needed to build an end-to-end semantic communication network. Among those building blocks of a semantic communication network, we highlight the necessity of creating semantic representations of data that satisfy the key properties of minimalism, generalizability, and efficiency so as to faithfully represent the data and enable the transmitter and receiver to do more with less. We then explain how those representations can form the basis of a so-called semantic language that will ","PeriodicalId":55029,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials","volume":"27 1","pages":"37-76"},"PeriodicalIF":34.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10554663","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141944602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
