EDI-Driven Multi-Dimensional Resource Allocation for Inclusive 6G Communications

Abstract

This letter proposes a novel inclusive multi-dimensional resource allocation scheme for diverse 6G communications driven by the principle of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI). In coping with challenges of ever-increasing device diversity and application Quality-of-Service (QoS) heterogeneity, the proposed scheme can inclusively support all users with equitable service provisioning satisfaction level and flexible multiple access. By jointly considering user-specific communication requirements and scenario-dependent resource utilization cost, we aim to maximize the average user utility while minimizing its distribution variance. Simulation demonstrates the proposed scheme can inclusively provide equitable user QoS satisfactions by higher average utility with smaller disparity and inequality.
