The purpose of Springer’sWireless Networks book series is to establish the state
of the art and set the course for future research and development in wireless
communication networks. The scope of this series includes not only all aspects
of wireless networks (including cellular networks, WiFi, sensor networks, and
vehicular networks), but related areas such as cloud computing and big data.
The series serves as a central source of references for wireless networks research
and development.It aims to publish thoroughand cohesive overviewson specific
topics in wireless networks, as well as works that are larger in scope than survey
articles and that contain more detailed background information. The series also
providescoverageofadvancedandtimelytopicsworthyofmonographs,contributed
volumes,textbooksandhandbooks.

Foreword
To provide ubiquitous and various services, 6G networks tend to be more com-
prehensive and multidimensional by integrating current terrestrial networks with
space-/air-based information networks and marine information networks; then,
heterogeneousnetworkresources,aswellasdifferenttypesofusersanddata,will
bealsointegrated.Drivenbytheexponentiallygrowingdemandsofmultimediadata
trafficandcomputation-heavyapplications,6Gheterogenousnetworksareexpected
to achieve a high quality of service (QoS) with ultra-reliability and low latency.
In response, resource allocation has been considered an important factor that can
improve 6G performance directly by configuring heterogeneous communication,
computing,andcachingresourceseffectivelyandefficiently.
In this book, we deliver a range of technical issues in cooperative resource
allocationandinformationsharingforthe future6G heterogenousnetworks,from
the terrestrial ultra-dense networks and space-based networks to the integrated
satellite-terrestrial networks, as well as introducing the effects of cooperative
behavior among mobile users on increasing capacity, trustworthiness, and pri-
vacy. For the cooperative transmission in heterogeneousnetworks, we commence
with the traffic offloading problems in terrestrial ultra-dense networks, and the
cognitive and cooperative mechanisms in space-based networks. Moreover, for
integratedsatellite-terrestrialnetworks,wepresenta pairofdynamicandadaptive
resource allocation strategies of traffic offloading, cooperative beamforming, and
trafficprediction-basedcooperativetransmission.Later,wediscussthecooperative
computationand caching resource allocation in heterogeneousnetworks, with the
highlight of providing our current studies on the game theory, auction theory,
and deep reinforcementlearning-based approaches. Meanwhile, we introduce the
cooperative resource and information sharing among users, in which capacity-
oriented, trustworthiness-oriented, and privacy-oriented cooperative mechanisms
areinvestigated.Finally,theconclusionisdrawn.
