6G Intelligence
Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the role of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in advancing 6G networks, emphasizing their impact across multiple layers of the 6G system. It discusses the motivations for AI/ML adoption within 6G, including data-driven architecture, enhancements in physical layer performance, and AI-driven management and orchestration (M&O). The chapter also addresses trustworthiness, highlighting AI/ML's role in security, privacy, and reliability. Additionally, it covers key enablers such as AI-driven radio air interface, network optimization strategies, and AI-driven intent-based service management, alongside relevant standardization efforts within 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and O-RAN to ensure interoperability and scalability in future networks.
