Artificial Intelligence-Based 6G Networking

Artificial Intelligence-Based 6G Networking focuses exclusively on the upcoming sixth-generation (6G) network and services slated for implementation by 2030. It explores the paradigm shift that is 6G. It discusses the deep integration of computing and communication, supported by artificial intelligence (AI) across network elements like cloud, edge, and terminals. It also examines how AI-native interfaces will permeate various network components, from radio access networks to application servers and databases.

Proposing a unified AI-enabled framework for optimizing networks and applications as a single integrated system, the book covers how network service providers can tailor network baselines, reduce noise, and accurately identify issues. The book delves into the potential of AI-driven networks to self-correct, predict, and rectify service degradations proactively, enhancing uptime and troubleshooting efficiency. It outlines the “Connection, Communication, Collaboration, Curation, and Community” framework to enhance network effects, aiding operators in automation, cost reduction, and providing optimal user experiences.

Covering topics from MIMO and Massive MIMO to holographic communications, cybersecurity and quantum communications, the book explores cutting-edge technologies shaping the future of 6G networks. It anticipates a future where AI, along with machine learning and deep learning, enables continuous learning, self-optimization, and predictive maintenance, even with full automation, that will be the hallmark of a new era in network connectivity and innovation.
