Abstract

Cooperative spectrum sensing has been proven to improve sensing performance of cognitive users in presence of spectral diversity. For multi-channel CRN (MC-CRN), designing a cooperative spectrum sensing scheme becomes quite challenging as it needs an optimal sensing scheduling scheme, which schedules cognitive users to different channels such that a good balance between detection performance and the discovery of spectrum holes is achieved. The main issue associated with cooperative spectrum sensing scheduling (CSSS) scheme is the design of an optimal schedule that could specify which SUs should be assigned to which channels at what time to achieve maximal network throughput with minimal amount of energy and satisfying the desirable sensing accuracy. In this regard, designing an efficient CSSS scheme for MC-CRN is of utmost importance for practical implementation of CRN. In this article, we explore CSSS problem from a broad perspective and present the different objectives and the inherent issues and challenges arise in designing the CSSS scheme. We also discuss the different methods used for modeling of the CSSS scheme for MC-CRN. Further, a few future research directions are listed which need investigation while developing the solution for CSSS problem.

Decoding Delay Guarantees of Space Regulated Multiple Access Random Wireless Networks using Successive Interference Cancellation

This paper is focused on decoding delay guarantees in wireless networks, where messages have a given signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio threshold $η_0$ to meet in order to be successfully decoded, and where transmissions should occur within some strict time constraints. Its main contribution consists in quantifying the worst-case transmissions decoding delays in the uplink of cellular and cell-free networks using successive interference cancellation. We show how such decoding delay guarantees can be obtained using spatial network calculus, a new tool introduced recently, and in particular spatial regulation. The results rely on the assumption of absence of fading. We nevertheless outline what this approach will lead to in the fading case for cellular networks.

Toward Composable Network Digital Twins: A Subgraph-Based Latency Prediction Study

Modern networks must support changing topologies, configurations, and performance objectives, motivating fast and reliable performance estimation. Network digital twins (NDTs) enable what-if analysis for performance estimation in such network scenarios, however, existing machine learning-based NDT approaches often rely on entire topology representations, which are inherently monolithic and lack reusability under topological or traffic changes in the network. This paper introduces a composable NDT approach that decomposes networks into subgraphs represented by reusable unit twins that capture subgraph structure, configuration and traffic behaviours. A lightweight composer aggregates unit twin combinations to create NDTs that predict per-route end-to-end latency through an overall topology. Evaluation across controlled synthetic topologies and diverse traffic scenarios, real-world Topology Zoo topologies, and a public NDT challenge dataset demonstrates that the composable NDTs achieve high in-distribution accuracy while remaining stable under out-of-distribution scenarios. Comparison with monolithic full topology NDTs demonstrates that our composable approach achieves reusability, while achieving comparable or superior accuracy.

Pattern-Aware Virtual Network Embedding Optimization for Cloud Data Centers

The network virtualization (NV) technology has enabled the sharing of multiple resources among virtual networks (VNs) in cloud data centers. One of the key challenges is to allocate resources in real-time for virtual network request (VNR), which is known as online virtual network embedding (VNE). However, the existing online VNE methods do not exploit the multi-dimensional complementary relationship among diverse VNRs, resulting in the fragmentation and waste of substrate resources. In this paper, we propose the pattern matching based online VNE approach by constructing appropriate matching rules among observed patterns to maximize resources utilization. We devise the clustering based VNRs quantization method and conduct rigorous study on the pattern combination filtering problem. Then, we utilize the column generation to solve it and construct the pattern matching rules. Based on the rules, we propose an online pattern matching VNE algorithm with linear worst-case complexity. Evaluation on a 106-server testbed using Alibaba production cluster trace dataset shows that our algorithm achieves close-to-offline performance and more accepted workloads that outperforms traditional designs by 25%-30%.
