Abstract:
The future generation of wireless communications requires the stringent quality-of-service (QoS) requirements in terms of very high data rate, ultra-high success reception rate, and minimal latency. Supported by high QoS wireless communications, digital twin has become a game-changing technology in many applications including smart city, manufacturing, automotive, gaming, entertaining, and climate resilience. Edge computing-based wireless ultra-reliable and low-latency communications (URLLC) in 6G has been considered as a key technique to realise the full potential of digital twin. This talk discusses a joint communications and computation design of URLLC multi-tier computing in 6G that supports digital twin networks, not only fundamental requirements, but also enabling technologies, visions, and future challenges.
