As an important future network architecture, virtual network architecture has received extensive attention. Virtual network embedding (VNE) is one of the core services of network virtualization (NV). It provides solutions for various network applications from the perspective of virtual network resource allocation. The Internet aims to provide global users with comprehensive coverage. The network function requests of hundreds of millions of end users have brought great pressure to the underlying network architecture. VNE algorithm can provide effective support for the reasonable and efficient allocation of network resources, so as to alleviate the pressure off the Internet. At present, a distinctive feature of the Internet environment is that the quality of service (QoS) requirements of users are differentiated. Different regions, different times, and different users have different network function requirements. Therefore, network resources need to be reasonably allocated according to users' QoS requirements to avoid the waste of network resources. In this book, based on the analysis of the principle of VNE algorithm, we provide a VNE scheme for users with differentiated QoS requirements. We summarize the common user requirements into four categories: security awareness, service awareness, energy awareness, and load balance, and then introduce the specific implementation methods of various differentiated QoS algorithms. This book provides a variety of VNE solutions, including VNE algorithms for single physical domain, VNE algorithms for across multiple physical domains, VNE algorithms based on heuristic method, and VNE algorithms based on machine learning method.

Relying on unmanned autonomous flight control programs, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with radio communication devices have been actively developed around the world. Given their low cost, flexible maneuvering and unmanned operation, UAVs have been widely used in both civilian operations and military missions, including environmental monitoring, emergency communications, express distribution, even military surveillance and attacks, for example. Given that a range of standards and protocols used in terrestrial wireless networks are not applicable to UAV networks, and that some practical constraints such as battery power and no-fly zone hinder the maneuverability capability of a single UAV, we need to explore advanced communication and networking theories and methods for the sake of supporting future ultra-reliable and low-latency applications. Typically, the full potential of UAV network's functionalities can be tapped with the aid of the cooperation of multiple drones relying on their ad hoc networking, in-network communications and coordinated control. Furthermore, some swarm intelligence models and algorithms conceived for dynamic negotiation, path programming, formation flight and task assignment of multiple cooperative drones are also beneficial in terms of extending UAV's functionalities and coverage, as well as of increasing their efficiency. We call the networking and cooperation of multiple drones as the terminology 'flying ad hoc network (FANET)', and there indeed are numerous new challenges to be overcome before the idespread of so-called heterogeneous FANETs. In this book, we examine a range of technical issues in FANETs, from physical-layer channel modeling to MAC-layer resource allocation, while also introducing readers to UAV aided mobile edge computing techniques.

This book targets major issues in terrestrial-satellite communication networks and presents the solutions. While the terrestrial networks can achieve high-speed data service at low cost, satellite based access is one way to complement terrestrial based networks to ensure ubiquitous, 100% geographic coverage. The coexistence and cooperation between terrestrial and satellite networks are of great potential in future communication networks, and satellite radio access networks has already been considered in the fifth-generation (5G) networks to be supported for phase 2. Therefore, it is important to study the architectures of terrestrial-satellite networks, as well as the possible techniques and challenges. The authors introduce the technique of beamforming in satellite communication systems, which is an efficient transmitting method for multiple access, and they discuss the main challenges as well as prospective applications. The authors introduce possible methods for interference cancelation reception in terrestrial-satellite communication networks when reusing the frequency band between the two networks. Due to the limitation of spectrum resources, spectrum sharing will become one of the important issues in terrestrial-satellite communication networks. The problems of spectrum coexistence between GEO and Terrestrial Systems and between GEO and NEGO systems are also discussed. Finally, taking both the two system into consideration, the resource allocation problem will be more complex due to the coupling between resources and the interference. Based on this, the authors propose several resource allocation schemes in different scenarios of terrestrial-satellite communication networks, which can optimize the capacity performance of the system.
