Title
Wireless-ML codesign for sustainable Next Gs:Potentials and Future Insights
Abstract
As we transition to the next generation of wireless/mobile networks, the convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) with wireless and mobile systems presents a transformative opportunity to revolutionize communication technologies and sustainability. In this keynote, we will delve into the pivotal role of Wireless-ML Codesign in shaping the future of intelligent and sustainable next-generation networks. The discussion will focus on three core themes: ML for wireless, wireless for ML, and Wireless-ML codesign. Through these pillars, we will explore the powerful synergies between wireless technologies and AI, while demystifying their combined potential to enable intelligent, resilient, high-performance, and environmentally responsible networks. Besides, we will investigate wireless considerations required to deliver an optimal energy-efficient AI experience. This talk will also highlight the interconnectedness of these universes and their joint impact on the future of 6G and beyond, paving the way for a new era of innovation and sustainability in wireless communications.
