Decomposition Based Interference Management Framework for Local 6G Networks

Abstract

Managing inter-cell interference is among the major challenges in a wireless network, more so when strict quality of service needs to be guaranteed such as in ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC) applications. This study introduces a novel intelligent interference management framework for a local 6G network that allocates resources based on interference prediction. The proposed algorithm involves an advanced signal pre-processing technique known as empirical mode decomposition followed by prediction of each decomposed component using the sequence-to-one transformer algorithm. The predicted interference power is then used to estimate future signal-to-interference plus noise ratio, and subsequently allocate resources to guarantee the high reliability required by URLLC applications. Finally, an interference cancellation scheme is explored based on the predicted interference signal with the transformer model. The proposed sequence-to-one transformer model exhibits its robustness for interference prediction. The proposed scheme is numerically evaluated against two baseline algorithms, and is found that the root mean squared error is reduced by up to 55% over a baseline scheme.
