Applying AI-Based Performance Modelling to Improve QoS in Maritime Communication Infrastructures

High seas present unparalleled challenges for maritime communication infrastructures which are further exacerbated by the aggressive environment, scant bandwidth, and continuous topology alterations.Such factors deeply affect the quality of service (QoS) vital in navigation, security, and logistics which need to be carefully managed regionally and globally.This paper aims at enhancing QoS in maritime networks through an AI-based performance modelling approach by anticipating and preventing risks that can lead to disruptions.The model autonomously adapts to optimize ship and network configurations through real-time measurements and historic data inputs, such as signal strength, weather conditions, and vessel movement patterns.Through the proposed framework, control over optimal resource allocation as well as smart routing to enhance network communication subsystem resilience and effectiveness is accomplished within software-defined networking (SDN) architectures.SDN is widely integrated due to its ability to deliver superior control over maritime communications networks that utilize multiple constrained devices.Extensive simulations conducted demonstrate superior outcomes on throughput, latency, and network availability cross compared to existing approaches.A new paradigm for transforming maritime communication with AI-driven models providing insight and automated control has been established for safer and reliable operations while at sea.The next steps of this study are the realistic implementation in maritime scenarios and standard framework optimization supporting interoperability among various maritime systems.
