Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid evolution of the telecommunications industry is expected. Currently, 5G connectivity is providing us with an interesting playground to test and validate innovative solutions, whilst the upcoming sixth generation technology for cellular networks (aka 6G) is challenging us to rethink what types of new services could benefit the market and society. One of the most promising innovations is the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into this system. This fusion has the potential to revolutionize network management, optimize resource allocation, enhance security, and enable a wide range of societal transformative applications.
Scope:
We invite researchers, scientists, and experts in the fields of AI and telecommunications to contribute to a Special Issue that explores the latest advancements and applications of AI in the sector. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Machine learning algorithms for network optimization;
- AI-driven network orchestration and management;
- AI-enhanced security solutions for 5G and beyond networks;
- Intelligent edge computing in 5G and beyond networks;
- AI-powered quality of service (QoS) enhancements;
- Immersive applications and haptic technology use cases
- IoT and AI applications enabled by 5G and beyond;
- Network slicing and AI-driven resource allocation;
- AI-driven predictive maintenance in telecommunications’ infrastructure;
- Ethical considerations and regulatory aspects of AI in telecommunications;
- Object detection in future telecommunication applications;
- AI for 6G physical layer;
- AI for Joint Communication and Sensing (JCAS) applications;
- Hardware acceleration for AI on 5G and beyond;
- AI for green communications;
- Testbeds and research infrastructures for 5G and beyond;
- Open-source tools for AI and 5G/6G research.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
