Cooperation and Integration in 6G Heterogeneous Networks: Resource Allocation and Networking

6G networks will integrate terrestrial, space, and marine information networks to provide ubiquitous and various services with high QoS, requiring efficient resource allocation. This book addresses technical issues in cooperative resource allocation and information sharing, including traffic offloading, cognitive and cooperative mechanisms, stability analysis, dynamic and adaptive resource allocation strategies, and cooperative computation and caching resource allocation. It also explores cooperative resource and information sharing among users, with capacity, trustworthiness, and privacy oriented mechanisms investigated.

6G networks aim to provide ubiquitous and diverse services by integrating terrestrial networks with space-/air-based information networks and marine information networks, leading to heterogeneous network resources and diverse user and data types. To meet the exponentially growing demands of multimedia data traffic and computation-heavy applications, 6G heterogenous networks are expected to achieve high QoS with ultra-reliability and low latency. Resource allocation is crucial in improving 6G performance by effectively configuring heterogeneous communication, computing, and caching resources. The book addresses various technical issues in cooperative resource allocation and information sharing for future 6G heterogenous networks, including terrestrial ultra-dense networks, space-based networks, integrated satellite-terrestrial networks, and the effects of cooperative behavior among mobile users on capacity, trustworthiness, and privacy. The authors explore traffic offloading problems in terrestrial ultra-dense networks, cognitive and cooperative mechanisms in heterogeneous space-based networks, and dynamic and adaptive resource allocation strategies for traffic offloading, cooperative beamforming, and traffic prediction in integrated satellite-terrestrial networks. Additionally, they discuss cooperative computation and caching resource allocation.
