The integration of 5G networks with other technology advancements, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and edge computing, can fundamentally transform the way we use the Internet and conduct our business and daily lives. Many diverse services, including real-time autonomous machines, safety-critical health applications, and augmented/virtual reality-based applications, are expected to be supported using 5G cellular networks. This is in part due to the low latency and high bandwidth provided by 5G to carry data needed by AI/ML algorithms to perform real-time analysis, reasoning, and optimizations for these applications. All these capabilities, however, do not come trivially. The scale, complexity, and diversity of these applications, the dynamics and diversity of their network traffic, and the unique challenges with cellular networks (e.g., fast, time-varying statistics of wireless channels) all present unique, multi-dimensional network management challenges that need to be addressed |
