Cognitive Network Architecture Systems to Provide Intelligent Services: An Intelligent Self-Organization Approach With a Game-Based Incentive Mechanism

Abstract

There will exist a growing interest in deploying data-intensive and content-rich applications on mobile smart devices. Also, ultrareliable and low-latency communications will be the critical requirements for obtaining good quality of experience for users of smart devices. However, the existing cellular architectures hardly provide a rich and stable spectrum supply to support ultrareliable and low-latency communications. Although future wireless networks are expected to effectively exploit the terahertz frequency band, it is difficult to obtain stable, ultrareliable, and low-latency communications due to the immaturity of both propagation models and radio interface technologies in such a high-frequency band. Therefore, this article introduces cognitive network brokers based on a data-driven cognitive network architecture to integrate and make full use of various resources to provide good network services for users, including an engine for spectrum and device cognition and an engine for cognitive network service construction.
