🤖 AI Summary
本文针对现有CKM技术在6G网络中可扩展性和复用性受限的问题，提出了一种通用CKM(uCKM)概念，旨在实现跨设备和跨任务的信道知识转移。
📝 Abstract
Channel knowledge map (CKM) is a promising technology for environment-aware sixth-generation (6G) wireless networks. However, most existing CKMs are tightly coupled with wireless devices and downstream tasks, which limit their scalability and reusability in wireless networks. To address these limitations, this article proposes the concept of universal CKM (uCKM) as a foundational wireless environment prior, which aims to enable cross-device and cross-task channel knowledge transfer for environment-aware wireless networks. We first revisit the representative CKMs and discuss their limitations. Then, the uCKM-enabled new paradigm for environment-aware wireless networks is introduced, and its benefits are highlighted from the perspectives of uCKM construction and utilization phases, for which we propose the visions of ``All for uCKM'' and ``uCKM for All'', i.e., the data acquired by all devices and tasks should contribute to the construction of uCKM, and vice versa. Subsequently, we discuss the main challenges of uCKM and propose potential solutions. Last, we provide simulation results to demonstrate the feasibility and performance gains brought by uCKM and outline future research directions.
