RUDN mathematicians have calculated how to make 5G communications at the factory of the future

RUDN mathematicians have created a model of the factory of the future, equipped with a large number of devices that “communicate” with each other via 5G. Scientists were able to avoid network breaks and ensure the most reliable and fast connection.

5G technology, or New Radio (NR), implies simultaneous support for two services — eMBB (enhanced Mobile BroadBand) mobile broadband access and a highly reliable connection with low latency URLLC (Ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communication). The eMBB service is a regular mobile Internet, the next stage of development of mobile data networks after 4G. URLLC is designed for remote control of mechanisms and robots — for example, unmanned vehicles. In real conditions, eMBB and URLLC traffic are mixed, which can reduce the speed and reliability of the connection. RUDN mathematicians suggested how to solve this problem. To do this, the main thing is to calculate the correct strategy for prioritizing services within the network.

“Fifth generation (5G) mobile systems have been developed for a wide range of applications. Therefore, NR base stations must support both eMBB and URLLC. Research is now focusing on mechanisms to support these services in isolation. However, the joint support of these types of traffic has received little research. We investigated the possibility of simultaneous support of eMBB and URLLC in industrial 5G NR networks using prioritization,” Daria Ivanova, graduate student of the Department of Applied Informatics and Probability Theory of the RUDN University.

RUDN mathematicians examined a model of the plant of the future. It is assumed that the 5G network is deployed in some production facility equipped with mobile robots and a variety of devices, sensors and detectors. They transmit data to the cloud service, where the control module makes decisions and gives new tasks. Sensors and sensors generate URLLC traffic, and monitoring devices generate eMBB traffic. This causes everything in the plant to move, interfering with the signal. Having described this system mathematically, scientists have selected an optimal network strategy that provides better speed and reliability with a minimum number of base stations.

It turned out that with the help of prioritization it is possible to completely “separate” eMBB and URLLC traffic from each other. The D2D (device-to-device) strategy allows you to achieve the most reliable connection, namely, to ensure that the probability of URLLC interruption is only one thousandth of a percent. The secret of D2D is that the base station deliberately reserves some resources for the direct exchange of information between the devices themselves.

“Our numerical results show that prioritization can effectively isolate traffic and does not require external control. A D2D-oriented strategy, where the base station reserves some resources for direct communication, is significantly superior to those where no explicit reservation is used, as well as a strategy where all traffic passes through the base station. Our model can be used to calculate the required density of base stations for all considered strategies,” Ekaterina Markova, Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Applied Informatics and Probability Theory of the RUDN University.

The results were published in the IEEE Access journal.

Building a sustainable future: what are SDGs and how RUDN helps achieve them

Imagine a world where everyone has enough food, clean water, access to education, and decent work. A world where nature is protected and the future of our planet is cared for. These are the Sustainable Development Goals—to achieve a sustainable future for all! To this end, in 2015, the United Nations (UN) defined 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs are a global plan that helps countries and people work together towards a better future. All 193 UN member states have joined the plan.

Unfounded generalizations and false conclusions: RUDN scientists have identified AI “hallucinations” in the diagnosis of mental disorders

Researchers from the Faculty of Artificial Intelligence at RUDN University conducted a large-scale study that revealed systemic errors in large language models (LLMs) when diagnosing depression based on text. This work, carried out in collaboration with colleagues from AIRI, Federal Research Center “Computer Science and Control” of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Ivannikov Institute for System Programming of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, and MBZUAI, not only identifies the problem but also lays the foundation for the creation of more reliable and secure tools for detecting depression and anxiety.
