Semantic communication (SemCom) and edge computing are two disruptive solutions to address emerging requirements of huge data communication, bandwidth efficiency and low latency data processing in Metaverse. However, edge computing resources are often provided by computing service providers and thus it is essential to design appealingly incentive mechanisms for the provision of limited resources. Deep learning (DL)- based auction has recently proposed as an incentive mechanism that maximizes the revenue while holding important economic properties, i.e., individual rationality and incentive compatibility. Therefore, in this work, we introduce the design of the DLbased auction for the computing resource allocation in SemComenabled Metaverse. First, we briefly introduce the fundamentals and challenges of Metaverse. Second, we present the preliminaries of SemCom and edge computing. Third, we review various incentive mechanisms for edge computing resource trading. Fourth, we present the design of the DL-based auction for edge resource allocation in SemCom-enabled Metaverse. Simulation results demonstrate that the DL-based auction improves the revenue while nearly satisfying the individual rationality and incentive compatibility constraints.

In recent years, the exponential proliferation of smart devices with their intelligent applications poses severe challenges on conventional cellular networks. Such challenges can be potentially overcome by integrating communication, computing, caching, and control (i4C) technologies. In this survey, we first give a snapshot of different aspects of the i4C, comprising background, motivation, leading technological enablers, potential applications, and use cases. Next, we describe different models of communication, computing, caching, and control (4C) to lay the foundation of the integration approach. We review current state-of-the-art research efforts related to the i4C, focusing on recent trends of both conventional and artificial intelligence (AI)-based integration approaches. We also highlight the need for intelligence in resources integration. Then, we discuss integration of sensing and communication (ISAC) and classify the integration approaches into various classes. Finally, we propose open challenges and present future research directions for beyond 5G networks, such as 6G.

联邦学习（FL）变得流行，并在训练大型机器学习（ML）模型的情况下表现出很大的潜力，而不会使所有者的原始数据曝光。在FL中，数据所有者可以根据其本地数据培训ML模型，并且仅将模型更新发送到模型更新，而不是原始数据到模型所有者进行聚合。为了提高模型准确性和培训完成时间的学习绩效，招募足够的参与者至关重要。同时，数据所有者是理性的，可能不愿意由于资源消耗而参与协作学习过程。为了解决这些问题，最近有各种作品旨在激励数据业主贡献其资源。在本文中，我们为文献中提出的经济和游戏理论方法提供了全面的审查，以设计刺激数据业主参加流程培训过程的各种计划。特别是，我们首先在激励机制设计中常用的佛罗里达州的基础和背景，经济理论。然后，我们审查博弈理论和经济方法应用于FL的激励机制的应用。最后，我们突出了一些开放的问题和未来关于FL激励机制设计的研究方向。

随着物联网（IoT）和5G/6G无线通信的进步，近年来，移动计算的范式已经显着发展，从集中式移动云计算到分布式雾计算和移动边缘计算（MEC）。 MEC将计算密集型任务推向网络的边缘，并将资源尽可能接近端点，以解决有关存储空间，资源优化，计算性能和效率方面的移动设备缺点。与云计算相比，作为分布式和更紧密的基础架构，MEC与其他新兴技术的收敛性，包括元元，6G无线通信，人工智能（AI）和区块链，也解决了网络资源分配的问题，更多的网络负载，更多的网络负载，以及延迟要求。因此，本文研究了用于满足现代应用程序严格要求的计算范例。提供了MEC在移动增强现实（MAR）中的应用程序方案。此外，这项调查提出了基于MEC的元元的动机，并将MEC的应用介绍给了元元。特别强调上述一组技术融合，例如6G具有MEC范式，通过区块链加强MEC等。

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms are considered as a promising technique for next-generation communication networks due to their flexibility, mobility, low cost, and the ability to collaboratively and autonomously provide services.

In this tutorial paper, we look into the evolution and prospect of network architecture and propose a novel conceptual architecture for the 6th generation (6G) networks. The proposed architecture has two key elements, i.e., holistic network virtualization and pervasive artificial intelligence (AI). The holistic network virtualization consists of network slicing and digital twin, from the aspects of service provision and service demand, respectively, to incorporate service-centric and user-centric networking. The pervasive network intelligence integrates AI into future networks from the perspectives of networking for AI and AI for networking, respectively. Building on holistic network virtualization and pervasive network intelligence, the proposed architecture can facilitate three types of interplay, i.e., the interplay between digital twin and network slicing paradigms, between model-driven and data-driven methods for network management, and between virtualization and AI, to maximize the flexibility, scalability, adaptivity, and intelligence for 6G networks. We also identify challenges and open issues related to the proposed architecture. By providing our vision, we aim to inspire further discussions and developments on the potential architecture of 6G.

In recent years, mobile devices are equipped with increasingly advanced sensing and computing capabilities. Coupled with advancements in Deep Learning (DL), this opens up countless possibilities for meaningful applications, e.g., for medical purposes and in vehicular networks. Traditional cloudbased Machine Learning (ML) approaches require the data to be centralized in a cloud server or data center. However, this results in critical issues related to unacceptable latency and communication inefficiency. To this end, Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) has been proposed to bring intelligence closer to the edge, where data is produced. However, conventional enabling technologies for ML at mobile edge networks still require personal data to be shared with external parties, e.g., edge servers. Recently, in light of increasingly stringent data privacy legislations and growing privacy concerns, the concept of Federated Learning (FL) has been introduced. In FL, end devices use their local data to train an ML model required by the server. The end devices then send the model updates rather than raw data to the server for aggregation. FL can serve as an enabling technology in mobile edge networks since it enables the collaborative training of an ML model and also enables DL for mobile edge network optimization. However, in a large-scale and complex mobile edge network, heterogeneous devices with varying constraints are involved. This raises challenges of communication costs, resource allocation, and privacy and security in the implementation of FL at scale. In this survey, we begin with an introduction to the background and fundamentals of FL. Then, we highlight the aforementioned challenges of FL implementation and review existing solutions. Furthermore, we present the applications of FL for mobile edge network optimization. Finally, we discuss the important challenges and future research directions in FL.

Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is transforming the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by enhancing the trust of end-users in machines. As the number of connected devices keeps on growing, the Internet of Things (IoT) market needs to be trustworthy for the end-users. However, existing literature still lacks a systematic and comprehensive survey work on the use of XAI for IoT. To bridge this lacking, in this paper, we address the XAI frameworks with a focus on their characteristics and support for IoT. We illustrate the widely-used XAI services for IoT applications, such as security enhancement, Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), Industrial IoT (IIoT), and Internet of City Things (IoCT). We also suggest the implementation choice of XAI models over IoT systems in these applications with appropriate examples and summarize the key inferences for future works. Moreover, we present the cutting-edge development in edge XAI structures and the support of sixth-generation (6G) communication services for IoT applications, along with key inferences. In a nutshell, this paper constitutes the first holistic compilation on the development of XAI-based frameworks tailored for the demands of future IoT use cases.

The Metaverse is deemed the next evolution of the Internet and has received much attention recently. Metaverse applications via mobile augmented reality (MAR) require rapid and accurate object detection to mix digital data with the real world. As mobile devices evolve, they become more potent in computing. Hence, their computational resources can be leveraged to train machine learning models. In light of the increasing concerns of user privacy and data security, federated learning (FL) has become a promising distributed learning framework for privacy-preserving analytics. In this article, FL and MAR are brought together in the Metaverse. We discuss the necessity and rationality of the combination of FL and MAR. The prospective technologies that power FL and MAR in the Metaverse are also identified. In addition, existing challenges that prevent the fulfilment of FL and MAR in the Metaverse and several application scenarios are presented. Finally, two case studies of Metaverse FL-MAR systems are demonstrated.

Video, as a key driver in the global explosion of digital information, can create tremendous benefits for human society. Governments and enterprises are deploying innumerable cameras for a variety of applications, e.g., law enforcement, emergency management, traffic control, and security surveillance, all facilitated by video analytics (VA). This trend is spurred by the rapid advancement of deep learning (DL), which enables more precise models for object classification, detection, and tracking. Meanwhile, with the proliferation of Internet-connected devices, massive amounts of data are generated daily, overwhelming the cloud. Edge computing, an emerging paradigm that moves workloads and services from the network core to the network edge, has been widely recognized as a promising solution. The resulting new intersection, edge video analytics (EVA), begins to attract widespread attention. Nevertheless, only a few loosely-related surveys exist on this topic. A dedicated venue for collecting and summarizing the latest advances of EVA is highly desired by the community. Besides, the basic concepts of EVA (e.g., definition, architectures, etc.) are ambiguous and neglected by these surveys due to the rapid development of this domain. A thorough clarification is needed to facilitate a consensus on these concepts. To fill in these gaps, we conduct a comprehensive survey of the recent efforts on EVA. In this paper, we first review the fundamentals of edge computing, followed by an overview of VA. The EVA system and its enabling techniques are discussed next. In addition, we introduce prevalent frameworks and datasets to aid future researchers in the development of EVA systems. Finally, we discuss existing challenges and foresee future research directions. We believe this survey will help readers comprehend the relationship between VA and edge computing, and spark new ideas on EVA.

未来的互联网涉及几种新兴技术，例如5G和5G网络，车辆网络，无人机（UAV）网络和物联网（IOT）。此外，未来的互联网变得异质并分散了许多相关网络实体。每个实体可能需要做出本地决定，以在动态和不确定的网络环境下改善网络性能。最近使用标准学习算法，例如单药强化学习（RL）或深入强化学习（DRL），以使每个网络实体作为代理人通过与未知环境进行互动来自适应地学习最佳决策策略。但是，这种算法未能对网络实体之间的合作或竞争进行建模，而只是将其他实体视为可能导致非平稳性问题的环境的一部分。多机构增强学习（MARL）允许每个网络实体不仅观察环境，还可以观察其他实体的政策来学习其最佳政策。结果，MAL可以显着提高网络实体的学习效率，并且最近已用于解决新兴网络中的各种问题。在本文中，我们因此回顾了MAL在新兴网络中的应用。特别是，我们提供了MARL的教程，以及对MARL在下一代互联网中的应用进行全面调查。特别是，我们首先介绍单代机Agent RL和MARL。然后，我们回顾了MAL在未来互联网中解决新兴问题的许多应用程序。这些问题包括网络访问，传输电源控制，计算卸载，内容缓存，数据包路由，无人机网络的轨迹设计以及网络安全问题。

随着人工智能（AI）的积极发展，基于深神经网络（DNN）的智能应用会改变人们的生活方式和生产效率。但是，从网络边缘生成的大量计算和数据成为主要的瓶颈，传统的基于云的计算模式无法满足实时处理任务的要求。为了解决上述问题，通过将AI模型训练和推理功能嵌入网络边缘，Edge Intelligence（EI）成为AI领域的尖端方向。此外，云，边缘和终端设备之间的协作DNN推断提供了一种有希望的方法来增强EI。然而，目前，以EI为导向的协作DNN推断仍处于早期阶段，缺乏对现有研究工作的系统分类和讨论。因此，我们已经对有关以EI为导向的协作DNN推断的最新研究进行了全面调查。在本文中，我们首先回顾了EI的背景和动机。然后，我们为EI分类了四个典型的DNN推理范例，并分析其特征和关键技术。最后，我们总结了协作DNN推断的当前挑战，讨论未来的发展趋势并提供未来的研究方向。

In the Metaverse, the physical space and the virtual space co-exist, and interact simultaneously. While the physical space is virtually enhanced with information, the virtual space is continuously refreshed with real-time, real-world information. To allow users to process and manipulate information seamlessly between the real and digital spaces, novel technologies must be developed. These include smart interfaces, new augmented realities, efficient storage and data management and dissemination techniques. In this paper, we first discuss some promising co-space applications. These applications offer opportunities that neither of the spaces can realize on its own. We then discuss challenges. Finally, we discuss and envision what are likely to be required from the database and system perspectives.

近年来，物联网设备的数量越来越快，这导致了用于管理，存储，分析和从不同物联网设备的原始数据做出决定的具有挑战性的任务，尤其是对于延时敏感的应用程序。在车辆网络（VANET）环境中，由于常见的拓扑变化，车辆的动态性质使当前的开放研究发出更具挑战性，这可能导致车辆之间断开连接。为此，已经在5G基础设施上计算了云和雾化的背景下提出了许多研究工作。另一方面，有多种研究提案旨在延长车辆之间的连接时间。已经定义了车辆社交网络（VSN）以减少车辆之间的连接时间的负担。本调查纸首先提供了关于雾，云和相关范例，如5G和SDN的必要背景信息和定义。然后，它将读者介绍给车辆社交网络，不同的指标和VSN和在线社交网络之间的主要差异。最后，本调查调查了在展示不同架构的VANET背景下的相关工作，以解决雾计算中的不同问题。此外，它提供了不同方法的分类，并在雾和云的上下文中讨论所需的指标，并将其与车辆社交网络进行比较。与VSN和雾计算领域的新研究挑战和趋势一起讨论了相关相关工程的比较。

作为一个与现实世界互动的虚拟世界，元媒体封装了我们对下一代互联网的期望，同时带来了新的关键绩效指标（KPIS）。常规的超级可靠和低延迟通信（URLLC）可以满足绝大多数客观服务KPI，但是很难为用户提供个性化的荟萃服务体验。由于提高经验质量（QOE）可以被视为当务之急的KPI，因此URLLC朝向下一代URLLC（XURLLC），以支持基于图形技术的荟萃分析。通过将更多资源分配给用户更感兴趣的虚拟对象，可以实现更高的QoE。在本文中，我们研究了元服务提供商（MSP）和网络基础架构提供商（INP）之间的相互作用，以部署Metaverse Xurllc服务。提供了最佳合同设计框架。具体而言，将最大化的MSP的实用程序定义为元用户的QOE的函数，同时确保INP的激励措施。为了建模Metaverse Xurllc服务的Qoe，我们提出了一个名为Meta Immersion的新颖指标，该指标既包含了客观网络KPI和元用户的主观感觉。使用用户对象注意级别（UOAL）数据集，我们开发并验证了注意力吸引人的渲染能力分配方案以改善QOE。结果表明，与常规的URLLC相比，Xurllc平均提高了20.1％的QoE改善。当总资源有限时，QoE改进的比例较高，例如40％。

随着数据生成越来越多地在没有连接连接的设备上进行，因此与机器学习（ML）相关的流量将在无线网络中无处不在。许多研究表明，传统的无线协议高效或不可持续以支持ML，这创造了对新的无线通信方法的需求。在这项调查中，我们对最先进的无线方法进行了详尽的审查，这些方法是专门设计用于支持分布式数据集的ML服务的。当前，文献中有两个明确的主题，模拟的无线计算和针对ML优化的数字无线电资源管理。这项调查对这些方法进行了全面的介绍，回顾了最重要的作品，突出了开放问题并讨论了应用程序方案。

智能物联网环境（iiote）由可以协作执行半自动的IOT应用的异构装置，其示例包括高度自动化的制造单元或自主交互收获机器。能量效率是这种边缘环境中的关键，因为它们通常基于由无线和电池运行设备组成的基础设施，例如电子拖拉机，无人机，自动引导车辆（AGV）S和机器人。总能源消耗从多种技术技术汲取贡献，使得能够实现边缘计算和通信，分布式学习以及分布式分区和智能合同。本文提供了本技术的最先进的概述，并说明了它们的功能和性能，特别关注资源，延迟，隐私和能源消耗之间的权衡。最后，本文提供了一种在节能IIOTE和路线图中集成这些能力技术的愿景，以解决开放的研究挑战

为了满足下一代无线通信网络的极其异构要求，研究界越来越依赖于使用机器学习解决方案进行实时决策和无线电资源管理。传统的机器学习采用完全集中的架构，其中整个培训数据在一个节点上收集，即云服务器，显着提高了通信开销，并提高了严重的隐私问题。迄今为止，最近提出了作为联合学习（FL）称为联合学习的分布式机器学习范式。在FL中，每个参与边缘设备通过使用自己的培训数据列举其本地模型。然后，通过无线信道，本地训练模型的权重或参数被发送到中央ps，聚合它们并更新全局模型。一方面，FL对优化无线通信网络的资源起着重要作用，另一方面，无线通信对于FL至关重要。因此，FL和无线通信之间存在“双向”关系。虽然FL是一个新兴的概念，但许多出版物已经在FL的领域发表了发布及其对下一代无线网络的应用。尽管如此，我们注意到没有任何作品突出了FL和无线通信之间的双向关系。因此，本调查纸的目的是通过提供关于FL和无线通信之间的相互依存性的及时和全面的讨论来弥合文学中的这种差距。
