• Abstract: Recent advances in software, hardware, computing and control have fueled significant progress in the field of autonomous systems. Notably, autonomous machines should continuously estimate how the scenario in which they move and operate will evolve within a predefined time frame, and foresee whether or not the network will be able to fulfill the agreed Quality of Service (QoS). If not, appropriate countermeasures should be taken to satisfy the application requirements. Along these lines, in this paper we present possible methods to enable predictive QoS (PQoS) in autonomous systems, and discuss which use cases will particularly benefit from network prediction. Then, we shed light on the challenges in the field that are still open for future research. As a case study, we demonstrate whether machine learning can facilitate PQoS in a teleoperated-driving-like use case, as a function of different measurement signals.

  "smart ecosystems" are being formed where sensing happens concurrently rather than standalone. This is shifting the on-device inference paradigm towards deploying neural processing units (NPUs) at the edge. We propose a novel early-exit scheduling that allows preemption at run time to account for the dynamicity introduced by the arrival and exiting processes.
