Use Case 1: AI in Network Optimization
AI and ML algorithms are transforming traditional networks into
intelligent systems. Predictive mechanisms are enabling telecom
companies take faster and better data-driven decisions. Intelligence built
on huge amount of historical network data provides a pattern for
network anomalies. Using AI models, telecom operators can detect
network failures, forecast traffic patterns, understand traffic congestion,
predict customer behavior, build intelligent security, and gain actionable
insights. The intelligent networks will be built using self-organizing
networks (SON) for efficient field planning and optimization.

Use Case 2: AI for 5G Networks
Network slicing is critical for the 5G-based diversified use cases and to maximize the flexibility of 5G networks. The incorporation of AI techniques can detect
slicing related anomalies and faults, and also use the learning to improve slicing strategies. Additionally, AI can ensure cost effective and high quality slicing
solutions.
AI techniques can be used to plan 5G network deployment. The initial non-standalone architecture implementation will face multiple challenges
associated with cell allocation, varied systems, multiple frequency bands and network configuration. AI and ML can be used for 5G network planning
based on insights related to multi-mode coverage, cell distribution, traffic management and analysis of network parameters for better planning and
increased network capacity.
Neural networks and ML algorithms can be used for complex channel modeling and estimation techniques for the large scale MIMO technology. These
algorithms can be applied on the beamforming parameters to adjust coverage in different scenarios. Intelligent mechanisms for interference calculation
and adaptive optimization in intra-cell network deployment will result in higher accuracy.
ML techniques can be applied to predict configuration of carrier aggregation between 5G network nodes. Additionally, algorithms applied for design and
fabrication of millimeter wave RF front circuitry is going to reduce the time to market.
