Fundamentals of 6G Communications and Networking

Abstract

The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI)-based methods evolving from 5G to 6G is accelerating. Therefore, to optimize the communication system in the 6G era, it is essential to adapt several AI-based optimization methods according to each environment. In this chapter, we introduce two general AI-based optimization methods, named AI-aided and AI-native. In addition, we describe the pros and cons of each method. Finally, by illustrating previous studies on AI in communication, we aim to speed up the development of both AI-based and AI-native optimization methods in line with the upcoming 6G era.
