Artificial intelligence and machine learning in next-generation systems - Ericsson

While machine intelligence is certain to play a key role in the creation of next generation systems in a wide variety of industry sectors in the near future, it is particularly relevant in rapidly developing industries such as ICT, manufacturing and transportation. Across the globe, mobile operators are getting ready to deploy the 5th generation of 3GPP mobile wireless networks (5G). Compared to the mobile infrastructure that is currently in place, 5G will bring higher throughput, lower latency, more efficient signaling, support for more spectrum bands, more programmability and other additional advanced techniques to maximize usage and optimize costs [1]. The number of connected devices will greatly increase as a result of this improved performance: sensors will benefit from more affordable bandwidth to the internet; heavy users of uplink traffic like video cameras will be able to share more data; fast-moving devices (drones, cars) will have more reliable connectivity and so on. These new devices will be the catalysts of a new wave of innovation for all involved industries.
