IoT Thrust Seminar | Integration of AI and Wireless Networks for 6G Systems
AI will be tightly integrated with wireless networks in future 6G wireless systems. On one hand, more and more AI applications will be running directly on mobile terminals for inferencing and training because dataset exists locally at mobile or IoT devices but large neural network models will be in the cloud. As such, wireless communication networks will be “in-the-loop” between mobile devices and the neural network models. it is important for future wireless networks to be optimised to support more efficient AI deployment. On the other hand, AI as a powerful tool can have huge potential to solve challenging problems in wireless communications design, resulting in better and more efficient wireless networks. There are lots of potential to deploy domain-specific AI design to implement challenging modules such as the physical layer and system designs in wireless systems. In this talk, we shall explore the integration of AI and future 6G wireless networks.
