Learning Wireless Data Knowledge Graph for Green Intelligent Communications: Methodology and Experiments

Intelligent communications have played a pivotal role in shaping the evolution of 6G networks. Native artificial intelligence (AI) within green communication systems must meet stringent real-time requirements. To achieve this, deploying lightweight and resource-efficient AI models is necessary. However, as wireless networks generate a multitude of data fields and indicators during operation, only a fraction of them imposes significant impact on the network AI models. Therefore, real-time intelligence of communication systems heavily relies on a small but critical set of the data that profoundly influences the performance of network AI models. These challenges underscore the need for innovative architectures and solutions. In this paper, we propose a solution, termed the pervasive multi-level (PML) native AI architecture, which integrates the concept of knowledge graph (KG) into the intelligent operational manipulations of mobile networks, resulting in the establishment of a wireless data KG. Leveraging the wireless data KG, we characterize the massive and complex data collected from wireless communication networks and analyze the relationships among various data fields. The obtained graph of data field relations enables the on-demand generation of minimal and effective datasets, referred to as feature datasets, tailored to specific application requirements. Consequently, this architecture not only enhances AI training, inference, and validation processes but also significantly reduces resource wastage and overhead for communication networks. To implement this architecture, we have developed a specific solution comprising a spatio-temporal heterogeneous graph attention neural network model (STREAM) as well as a feature dataset generation algorithm. Experiments are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed architecture.

Representation Learning of Knowledge Graph for Wireless Communication Networks

With the application of the fifth-generation wireless communication technologies, more smart terminals are being used and generating huge amounts of data, which has prompted extensive research on how to handle and utilize these wireless data. Researchers currently focus on the research on the upper-layer application data or studying the intelligent transmission methods concerning a specific problem based on a large amount of data generated by the Monte Carlo simulations. This article aims to understand the endogenous relationship of wireless data by constructing a knowledge graph according to the wireless communication protocols, and domain expert knowledge and further investigating the wireless endogenous intelligence. We firstly construct a knowledge graph of the endogenous factors of wireless core network data collected via a 5G/B5G testing network. Then, a novel model based on graph convolutional neural networks is designed to learn the representation of the graph, which is used to classify graph nodes and simulate the relation prediction. The proposed model realizes the automatic nodes classification and network anomaly cause tracing. It is also applied to the public datasets in an unsupervised manner. Finally, the results show that the classification accuracy of the proposed model is better than the existing unsupervised graph neural network models, such as VGAE and ARVGE.
