Motivation
Nowadays, the mobile network no longer just connects people but is evolving into billions of devices, such as sensors, controllers, machines, autonomous vehicles, drones, people and things with each other and then achieves information and Intelligence. From a planning and optimization perspective on the mobile network, this means that we also need a lot more flexibility to address these future needs.
Next-generation (B5G/6G) mobile networks are characterized by three key features:
heterogeneity, in terms of technology and services, dynamics, in terms of rapidly varying environments and uncertainty, and size, in terms of number of users, nodes, and services. The need for smart, secure, and autonomic network design has become a central research issue in a variety of applications and scenarios.
Intelligence (AI) and future wireless networks have attracted intense interest from both academia and industry to potentially improve spatial reuse and coverage, thus allowing cellular systems to achieve higher data rates, while retaining the seamless connectivity and mobility of cellular networks. However, considering the severe inter-tier interference and limited cooperative gains resulting from the constrained and non-ideal transmissions between adjacent base stations, a new paradigm for improving both spectral efficiency and energy efficiency through suppressing inter-tier interference and enhancing the cooperative processing capabilities is needed in the practical evolution of AI based future mobile networks.
This tutorial will identify and discuss technical challenges and recent results related to the AI based future mobile networks. The tutorial will introduce future mobile networks and AI, discuss about the future mobile networks architecture, AI based resource management, AI based MAC design, PHY layer design with AI and providing a future outlook of AI based future wireless networks.
