Summary
This project aims to design energy-efficient communication technology and protocol for the 6th generation (6G) Internet of Things (IoT) communication system, in which energy efficiency is one of the essential Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to realize sustainable IoT networking. The energy-efficient protocol designs for IoT devices serving 6G applications are more challenging than conventional wireless sensor networks, as we need to consider the energy cost caused by the introduction of the Artificial Intelligence (AI)/ Machine learning (ML) model as well as that of the primary radio circuit. However, most related works do not consider the energy cost of introducing the ML model, which affects the overall energy efficiency of the communication protocols. In order to realize the reduction of the overall energy consumption of AI-empowered IoT devices, this project newly introduces generative AI modules and wake-up radio technology into IoT devices operating with batteries, by which IoT devices can suppress unnecessary data transmission, and communication is taken place in an energy-efficient manner by cooperatively transmitting signaling, informative data, and ML model from devices to devices. This project will design a new communication framework integrating generative AI modules, investigate the system-level performance of G-AI-based communication systems, and clarify the gain brought by the introduction of G-AI modules in terms of energy efficiency and accuracy.
