Next Generation Network

Next-generation networks (NGNs) aim to create more efficient, adaptable, and intelligent communication systems capable of handling the increasing demands of diverse applications like the metaverse and the Internet of Things. Current research heavily emphasizes the integration of artificial intelligence, particularly machine learning (including deep reinforcement learning, deep unfolding, and federated learning) and large language models, to automate network operations, optimize resource allocation (e.g., power control, traffic routing), and enhance security. This focus on AI-driven solutions promises significant improvements in network performance, scalability, and management, impacting both the scientific understanding of complex network dynamics and the practical deployment of future communication technologies.
