Experimental results for artificial intelligence-based self-organized 5G networks
Wei Jiang, Mathias Strufe, Hans Dieter Schotten · 2017
Until now, mobile networks are still managed in a manual and semi-automatic manner, which are costly and time-consuming. For the forthcoming Fifth Generation (5G) system, its large-scale, heterogeneous, software-defined and virtualized infrastructure simply become unmanageable if no innovative managing paradigm is applied. Recently, artificial intelligence is proposed to be applied in the 5G system to realize intelligent management and highly self-organized networks. In this paper, proof-of-concept experiments, including the setup of an intelligent 5G testbed, its closed-loop control and enabling algorithms, are presented. The experimental results reveal that applying artificial intelligence to wireless network management is both feasible and effective.
