Deep Learning in the 6G Air Interface

Back in May, Samsung Electronics hosted their first'Samsung 6G Forum' (S6GF) that I blogged about here. The talk by Prof. Jeffrey Andrews, The University of Texas at Austin, deserves its own separate post. The topic of his talk was'Deep Learning in the 6G Air Interface'. In a presentation, Andrews noted emerging 5G applications including autonomous vehicles and robots require situational awareness going beyond what they can sense alone. "Although driverless cars are built to be autonomous, they don't really work right unless they can see things and know about things outside of their own field of vision. Otherwise, they'll have to drive too slowly, too conservatively."
