Titre : Serve Yourself : Federated Power Control for URLLC

Conférencier : Essaid Sabir

Résumé : Current 5G and future 6G mobile networks promise offering Ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communication (URLLC) to enable real-time wireless control systems. URLLC applications require never-seen levels of quality of service (QoS), mainly in terms of reliability and latency, to run smoothly which is extremely challenging from the network perspective. In the era of ultra-dense networks achieving the target QoS for URLLC applications is still possible but at the cost of low spectrum utilization and poor energy efficiency. In this talk we explore the usefulness of intelligent satisfactory power control to set a trade-off between QoS and energy efficiency. The main idea is to allow devices to self-adjust their transmit power to ''unfailingly'' meet the reliability and latency requirements of the URLLC application. To maintain consistent satisfaction under a random channel, we propose two distributed learning schemes. Our algorithms take advantage of federated deep learning paradigm to overcome the channel variability and efficiently self-tune the transmit power at device level. Our simulations illustrate some advantages and drawbacks of the proposed solutions. Our schemes can maintain almost constant the instantaneous reliability and the instantaneous latency at low energy budget.

Bio : Essaid Sabir (S’07, M’10, SM’14) received the B.Sc. degree in electrical engineering and automation from Mohammed V University, Rabat, Morocco, in 2004, the M.Sc. degree in telecommunications and wireless engineering from the National Institute of Posts and Telecommunications, in 2007, the Ph.D. degree (Hons.) in networking and computer engineering from University of Avignon, France, in 2010, and the Habilitation degree (Hons.) from Hassan II University of Casablanca, in 2014. He was a contractual Assistant Professor at the University of Avignon, from 2009 to 2012. Since 2012, he holds an Associate Professor position at the department of electrical engineering at the National Higher School of Electricity and Mechanics (ENSEM), where he leads the Networking, Embedded Systems & Telecom Research Group (NEST). Currently, he is a visiting Professor and a Lecturer at University of Québec at Montréal. He is/was the main investigator for many national projects, and has been involved in several other national and international projects. His research interests include wireless networking and mobile communications (5G and beyond), IoT, Infrastructureless networking, ultra-reliable low latency communications, wireless artificial intelligence, networking games, smart mobility and business models for telecommunications. His work has been awarded in many international venues (IEEE IWCMC’19, IEEE WF-IoT’20, etc.). He was a recipient of the excellence scholarship from INRIA-France, and the excellence scholarship from the Moroccan government. As an attempt to bridge the gap between academia and industry, he founded the International Conference on Ubiquitous Networking (UNet) and co-founded the International Conference on Wireless Networks and Mobile Communications (WINCOM). He serves/served as an editor, associate editor, and/or reviewer for many international journals. He organized numerous events and served as the general Chair, TPC Chair and other executive roles for many major international events.
