Intelligent Network Management for Next-Generation Networks
Presented by: Dr. Huaqing Wu, University of Calgary
Join us in exploring how AI is revolutionizing the intelligent management of next-generation networks across land, air, and space
Next-generation networks are increasingly complex, spanning
terrestrial, aerial, and space domains while supporting highly dynamic
environments like vehicular networks. Traditional network management
techniques fall short in coping with the scale, heterogeneity, and
agility demanded by 6G and beyond. This tutorial presents a
comprehensive overview of AI-assisted intelligent network management
frameworks. This tutorial begins by providing a deep dive into the
architectural and operational characteristics of modern networking
systems. We explore the evolution of vehicular networks (V2X) and the
convergence of terrestrial, aerial, and satellite components in future
mobile systems. We then pivot to intelligent network management and
the critical role of AI and machine learning in enabling scalable,
autonomous control.
Attendees will learn how edge intelligence, reinforcement learning,
and federated learning can be used to address mobility, latency, and
resource allocation challenges in these domains. We also discuss open
research challenges around implementation complexity, privacy, and
standardization. This tutorial ultimately aims to equip attendees with
a holistic understanding of intelligent management in future network
systems.
