Traditional machine learning is centralized in the cloud (data centers). Recently, the security concern and the availability of abundant data and computation resources in wireless networks are pushing the deployment of learning algorithms towards the network edge. This has led to the emergence of a fast growing area, called federated learning (FL), which integrates two originally decoupled areas: wireless communication and machine learning. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive study on the applications of FL for sixth generation (6G) wireless networks. First, we discuss the key requirements in applying FL for wireless communications. Then, we focus on the motivating application of FL for wireless communications. We identify the main problems, challenges, and provide a comprehensive treatment of implementing FL techniques for wireless communications.

Future wireless networks are expected to evolve towards an intelligent and software reconfigurable paradigm enabling ubiquitous communications between humans and mobile devices. They will be also capable of sensing, controlling, and optimizing the wireless environment to fulfill the visions of low-power, high-throughput, massively-connected, and low-latency communications. A key conceptual enabler that is recently gaining increasing popularity is the Holographic Multiple Input Multiple Output Surface (HMIMOS) that refers to a low-cost transformative wireless planar structure comprising of sub-wavelength metallic or dielectric scattering particles, which is capable of impacting electromagnetic waves according to desired objectives. In this article, we provide an overview of HMIMOS communications by introducing the available hardware architectures for reconfigurable such metasurfaces and their main characteristics, as well as highlighting the opportunities and key challenges in designing HMIMOS-enabled communications.
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or say drones, are envisioned to support extensive applications in next-generation wireless networks in both civil and military fields. Empowering UAVs networks intelligence by artificial intelligence (AI) especially machine learning (ML) techniques is inevitable and appealing to enable the aforementioned applications. To solve the problems of traditional cloud-centric ML for UAV networks such as privacy concern, unacceptable latency, and resource burden, a distributed ML technique, textit(i.e.), federated learning (FL), has been recently proposed to enable multiple UAVs to collaboratively train ML model without letting out raw data. However, almost all existing FL paradigms are still centralized, textit{i.e.}, a central entity is in charge of ML model aggregation and fusion over the whole network, which could result in the issue of a single point of failure and are inappropriate to UAV networks with both unreliable nodes and links. Thus motivated, in this article, we propose a novel architecture called DFL-UN (underline{D}ecentralized underline{F}ederated underline{L}earning for underline{U}AV underline{N}etworks), which enables FL within UAV networks without a central entity. We also conduct a preliminary simulation study to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the DFL-UN architecture. Finally, we discuss the main challenges and potential research directions in the DFL-UN.
Although millimeter wave (mmWave) systems promise to offer larger bandwidth and unprecedented peak data rates, their practical implementation faces several hardware challenges compared to sub-6 GHz communication systems. These hardware constraints can seriously undermine the performance and deployment progress of mmWave systems and, thus, necessitate disruptive solutions in the cross-design of analog and digital modules. In this article, we discuss the importance of different hardware constraints and propose a novel system architecture, which is able to release these hardware constraints while achieving better performance for future millimeter wave communication systems. The characteristics of the proposed architecture are articulated in detail, and a representative example is provided to demonstrate its validity and efficacy.
Recent advances in the fabrication and experimentation of Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs) have motivated the concept of the smart radio environment, according to which the propagation of information-bearing waveforms in the wireless medium is amenable to programmability. Although the vast majority of recent experimental research on RIS-empowered wireless communications gravitates around narrowband beamforming in quasi-free space, RISs are foreseen to revolutionize wideband wireless connectivity in dense urban as well as indoor scenarios, which are usually characterized as strongly reverberant environments exhibiting severe multipath conditions. In this article, capitalizing on recent physics-driven experimental explorations of RIS-empowered wave propagation control in complex scattering cavities, we identify the potential of the spatiotemporal control offered by RISs to boost wireless communications in rich scattering channels via two case studies. First, an RIS is deployed to shape the multipath channel impulse response, which is shown to enable higher achievable communication rates. Second, the RIS-tunable propagation environment is leveraged as an analog multiplexer to localize non-cooperative objects using wave fingerprints, even when they are outside the line of sight. Future research challenges and opportunities in the algorithmic design and experimentation of smart rich scattering wireless environments enabled by RISs for sixth Generation (6G) wireless communications are discussed.
5G wireless communications technology is being launched, with many smart applications being integrated. However, 5G specifications merge the requirements of new emerging technologies forcefully. These include data rate, capacity, latency, reliability, resources sharing, and energy/bit. To meet these challenging demands, research is focusing on 6G wireless communications enabling different technologies and emerging new applications. In this report, the latest research work on 6G technologies and applications is summarized, and the associated research challenges are discussed.
