Special Issue: Intelligence-Empowered Collaboration among Space, Air,
Ground, and Sea Mobile Networks towards B5G
https://www.comsoc.org/publications/journals/ieee-tnse/cfp/intelligence-empowered-collaboration-among-space-air-ground-and
Aim and Scope
Providing the ubiquitous network accessibility is one of the main goals in
the Beyond 5G (B5G) mobile networks. To achieve this goal, it is vital to
connect the space, air, ground, and sea networks (SAGS) in such
heterogenous B5G networks. Although the above networks exhibit different
types of technical issues, they should be connected seamlessly with
collaborated networking functionalities and management. On the other hand,
in the last five years, with the growing popularity of artificial
intelligence (AI), the application and innovation of AI have also been
attracting significant research attention to enable intelligent networking
and communication, in which the network quality can be ensured by meeting
the key performance metrics.
This special issue (SI) is to foster innovative work that can promote
collaboration among SAGS mobile networks by involving AI in the background
of B5G. This SI aims to foster research contributions beyond the state of
the art, making concrete steps towards solutions for the current problems
and opens up new horizons for collaborative efforts over different
communication environments.
The topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited
to:
· Integration of Space, Air, Ground, and Sea Networks
· Intelligent Space-Air Networks
· Intelligent Satellite-assisted UAV Communication
· Intelligent Satellite-assisted Airship Networks
· Intelligent Drone-assisted Mobile Ad-hoc Networks
· Intelligent Drone-assisted Cellular Networks
· Intelligent Drone-assisted Wireless Sensor Networks
· Intelligent Drone-assisted Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks
· Intelligent Drone-assisted Sea Networks
· Intelligent Maritime-assisted Underwater Networks
· Software-Defined SAGS networks
· Data-based Collaboration for SAGS networks
· Network-based models and optimisation algorithms for SAGS networks
· Network Trust, Security, and Privacy of SAGS networks
· Intelligence-driven Mobile Computing in SAGS networks
· Data analysis for SAGS networks
· Intelligent Cloud, Fog and Edge Computing for SAGS networks
· Intelligent Load Balancing, Traffic Control and Scheduling of SAGS
networks
· Path Planning and Route Management of Cyber-Physical Systems in SAGS
networks
· SAGS-enabled Smart City
· SAGS-enabled Smart Sea
· SAGS-enabled Smart Ocean
