Network Type Recognition Using Machine Learning Techniques

Abstract

Abstract The telecom industry is going through a massive digital transformation with the adoption of ML, AI, feedback-based automation and advanced analytics to handle the next generation applications and services. AI concepts are not new; the algorithms used by Machine Learning and Deep Learning are being currently implemented in various industries and technology verticals. With growing data and immense volume of information over 5G, the ability to predict data proactively, swiftly and with accuracy, is critically important. Data-driven decision making will be vital in future communication networks due to the traffic explosion and Artificial Intelligence (AI) will accelerate the 5G network performance. Mobile operators are looking for a programmable solution that will allow them to accommodate multiple independent tenants on the same physical infrastructure and 5G networks allow for end-to-end network resource allocation using the concept of Network Slicing (NS). Network Slicing will play a vital role in enabling a multitude of 5G applications, use cases, and services. Network slicing functions will provide an end-to-end isolation between slices with an ability to customize each slice based on the service demands (bandwidth, coverage, security, latency, reliability, etc).
