    The complexity of the network determines that the autonomy of the intention network can’t be achieved at one go.The key is to break through multiple problem domains of network management and control from a global perspective, to summarize the network rules, mechanisms and strategies into knowledge, to build the knowledge space of resource allocation in the whole scene, and finally to realize the ubiquitous intelligence of the intention network.Focusing on 6G intention network, which takes knowledge-defined intelligence as the key enabling technology to improve the perception and decision-making closed-loop ability of intention network, and constructs a self-learning, self-operating and self-maintaining intention network.Achieving full autonomy in 6G networks is a long-term goal, which requires step by step evolvements, from providing repeat operation alternatives, to performing perception and monitoring on network environment and equipment states, to making decisions according to a number of factors and strategies, to effectively sensing end-user experience, and finally to a fully autonomous intelligent network that senses the intention of operators and users, self-optimizes and self-evolves.

    The faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) signaling technology overlaps multiple streams of data within a symbol period by compressing the transmit symbol time/frequency-domain interval, thus breaking the orthogonality of the Nyquist pulse waveform and achieving the purpose of transmitting more data in a limited bandwidth.A relatively comprehensive explanation of the technical principles of FTN was elaborated, its development status was sorted out, and the related key questions——the relationship between FTN capacity and Shannon capacity, and the intrinsic connection of related technologies were answered.Finally, The possibility of FTN application in 6G was discussed, and its value and challenges in 6G were presented.That is, FTN is a highly spectrally efficient transmission scheme that approximates Shannon's capacity, but excessive receiver complexity may be a key impediment to its use in 6G applications.

    Massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) enables higher spectrum efficiency by deploying a large number of antenna elements.However, mMIMO will bring a substantial increase in the number of radio frequency (RF) channel, which will result in a sharp increase in cost.Therefore, it is necessary to design mMIMO with comprehensive consideration of the trade-off between the performance and the cost.Sparse array technology can approach the performance of the uniform array with less number of antenna elements by optimizing the position distribution and excitation amplitudes of the antenna elements, thereby reducing the number of RF channels and controlling the cost, and achieving a better cost-effective balance.Both link-level and system-level evaluations and analysis of sparse array based mMIMO that targets for 6G were performed under realistic simulation settings.The results show that with little performance loss, the sparse array based mMIMO can significantly reduce the number of antenna elements and the cost of base station infrastructure.

    Space-time shift keying (STSK) is a modulation scheme used in multi-input multi-output (MIMO) communication systems.It uses a pre-designed dispersion matrix set (DMS) to realize the flexible design of the system between multiplexing and diversity.An improved genetic algorithm (GA) was proposed to assist the joint optimization of DMS and 3D constellations, that is, the DMS and 3D constellations were jointly coded as the chromosome of GA , and the coding gain corresponding to the rank and determinant criterion was adopted as the overall fitness value.Through efficient selection and improved mutation and crossover strategies, DMS and 3D constellations with low bit error rate (BER) can be obtained.At the same time, the symmetry of the 3D constellation was used to greatly reduce the computational complexity of according to the fitness value the coding gain.The theoretical average paired error probability (ABEP) of the 3D STSK scheme was deducted.The simulation results show that, compared with the traditional GA and random search schemes, the improved GA proposed can significantly reduce the complexity of system implementation while ensuring BER performance.

    Aimed at the poor security performance of single antenna multi-relay modify-and-forward (MF) cooperative wireless systems in collusion eavesdropping scenario, MF cooperative physical layer security systems combining source node transmit antenna selection (TAS) and multi-relay selection in collusion eavesdropping scenario were proposed.Two relay selection schemes were considered, namely, the optimal maximization of the main channel signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the suboptimal maximization of the source-relay link SNR.The closed-form expressions of the secrecy outage probability (SOP) and ergodic secure capacity (ESC) for the above MF cooperative wireless systems were derived.The numerical results of SOP and ESC of MF secure relay systems with optimal or suboptimal relay selection were consistent with the simulation results, which verifies the correctness of the above theoretical analysis.It also shows that the more the number of transmit antennas at the source node and relay nodes, and the less the number of eavesdropping nodes, the better the physical layer security performance of MF secure relay systems with optimal or suboptimal relay selection.

    Link aggregation is a common technology to increase the bandwidth by bundling multiple physical links into a logical link.However, in a switching network based on the fibre channel (FC) protocol, as the forwarding traffic continues to concentrate, traditional static link aggregation algorithms have problems of poor load balance and low reliability.A dynamic load balancing link aggregation algorithm flow adaptive load balancing (FALB) based on FC protocol messages was proposed, which could realize dynamic adaptive matching of traffic and a reconnection protection mechanism for broken links.The results show that compared with the static load balancing algorithm design, the algorithm mechanism could maintain the effective bandwidth ratio above 95%, effectively improving the load balancing characteristics and reliability of the aggregated link.
