The virtualization of the fifth generation radio access network (RAN), which distributes the next generation Node B functions between a central unit (CU) and a distributed unit (DU), along with the emergence of slicing as a corner-stone of mobile communications networks, pose new challenges. One of these challenges is the management of the joint slicing and allocation of appropriate distribution of functions between CU and DU, known as functional split. In this work, a discussion on the challenges and open issues of joint slicing and functional splitting is presented, taking into account the additional complexity resulting from instantiating multiple slices per OU, each one with a different functional split. It is shown that the additional complexity, which is translated into higher cost, is worthwhile depending on the RAN deployment density. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have been increasingly adopted to tackle networking problems. Although AI algorithms can deliver high-quality solutions, most of them are inherently intricate and erratic for human cognition. This lack of interpretability tremendously hinders the commercial success of AI-based solutions in practice. To cope with this challenge, networking researchers are starting to explore explainable AI (XAI) techniques to make AI models interpretable, manageable, and trustworthy. In this article, we overview the application of AI in networking and discuss the necessity for interpretability. Next, we review the current research on interpreting AI-based networking solutions and systems. At last, we envision future challenges and directions. The ultimate goal of this article is to present a general guideline for AI and networking practitioners and motivate the continuous advancement of AI-based solutions in modern communication networks.

Community networks (CNs) have become an important paradigm for providing essential Internet connectivity in unserved and underserved areas across the world. However, an indispensable part of CNs is network management, where responsive and autonomous maintenance is much needed. With the technological advancement in telecommunications networks, a classical satellite-dependent CN is envisioned to be transformed into a satellite-integrated CN (SICN), which will embrace significant autonomy, intelligence, and scalability in network management. This article discusses the machine learning (ML)-based hierarchical approach to enabling autonomous self-maintenance for SICNs. The approach is split into the anomaly identification and anomaly mitigation phases, where the related ML methods, data collection means, deployment options, and mitigation schemes are presented. With the case study, we discuss a typical scenario using satellite and fixed connections as backhaul options and show the effectiveness and performance improvements of the proposed approach with recurrent neural network and ensemble methods.

The IEEE Communications Magazine Series on Network Softwarization and Management represents a timely source of in-depth, cutting-edge articles on state-of-the-art technologies and solutions related to two fields that are highly relevant for today's communication networks and their evolution. On one hand, network softwarization advocates for architectures where software and programmability aspects in the implementation of network functions, protocols, and services are decoupled from the underlying infrastructure, fostering unprecedented levels of flexibility, abstraction, automation, and intelligence. On the other hand, network management aims at integrating fault, configuration, accounting, performance, and security (FCAPS) capabilities in the network, and supporting advanced autonomic and self-management features, often taking advantage of the potential offered by network softwarization.

The Design and implementation of Devices, Circuits, and Systems Series publishes original articles that cover a broad range of topics in telecommunication devices, circuits and systems advances and developments. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has evolved substantially over the past few decades and has seen an accelerating trend of technical advances especially in healthcare, green communications, among others. The design and implementation of reliable systems and potential service solutions not only play an important role in healthcare to ensure quality of care, but also in energy efficient green communications. In this context, the August issue features three articles that cover the design and implementation of such communication systems under several constraints. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Making good decisions in a timely manner is intrinsic to the success of military operations. Critical decisions need to be reliably communicated and executed, and may depend on efficient processing of information from multiple sources. Thus, there are tough requirements on military communications and networks, such as tactical networks, operating in the face of adversaries toward the limits imposed by physics. In this context, the articles in this issue cover important topics of cloud processing at the tactical edge, resistance to jamming, and radio communication beyond line of sight. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
