Network Data Analytics Function

The Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF) is a key component of 5G and beyond networks, designed to provide real-time analytics for improved network performance and resource management. Current research focuses on optimizing NWDAF architecture, such as hierarchical designs for faster processing, and leveraging machine learning techniques like clustering and diffusion models for tasks including mobility prediction, anomaly detection, and traffic generation. This work is significant because it enables data-driven network optimization, improving efficiency, security, and the overall user experience in increasingly complex wireless networks.
