Abstract
As a new and dominating type of time-sensitive traffic over 6G wireless networks, massive ultra-reliable and low latency communications (mURLLC) has attracted considerable research attention, while raising several new challenges, including massive connectivity, ultra-low latency, super-reliability, and high energy efficiency. Several promising 6G enablers, including statistical delay and error-rate bounded quality-of-service (QoS) provisioning, cell-free (CF) massive multi-input multi-output (m-MIMO), simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT), etc., have been developed to support mURLLC. Specifically, CF m-MIMO can significantly enhance QoS performance of SWIPT by boosting data rate and energy efficiency. On the other hand, finite blocklength coding (FBC) has been proposed to support various massive access techniques while reducing access latency and guaranteeing stringent QoS. However, how to efficiently integrate SWIPT with CF m-MIMO using FBC for statistical delay and error-rate bounded QoS to support mURLLC has posed many new challenges not encountered before. To overcome these difficulties, in this paper we develop FBC based statistical delay and error-rate bounded QoS provisioning schemes over SWIPT-enabled CF m-MIMO 6G wireless networks. First, we establish SWIPT-enabled CF m-MIMO system models using FBC. Then, we optimize the tradeoffs between epsilon-effective capacity and harvested energy for our proposed statistical QoS provisioning. Finally, our simulated results validate and evaluate our developed schemes.
