Artificial Intelligence in Wireless Communications - Evolution Towards 6G Mobile Networks

Abstract

With the deployment of the 5G in wireless communications, the researchers' interest is focused on the sixth generation networks. This forthcoming generation is expected to replace the 5G network by the end of 2030. Artificial intelligence is one of the leading technologies in 5G, beyond 5G, and future 6G networks. Intelligence is endowing the tendency to throw open the capabilities of the 5G networks and the future 6G mobile wireless networks by leveraging the universal infrastructure, open network architectures, software-defined networking, network function virtualization, multi-access edge computing, vehicular network, etc. This discussion is aimed at providing, in a comprehensive manner, how artificial intelligence can be integrated into different applications and finally, we analyse and discuss the opportunities and main technical challenges of the wireless communication standards, present novel approaches, and recent results that will encourage the development and implementation of the sixth generation networks.
