6G network design puts AI at the center of spectrum, routing, and fault management

Wireless network operators are preparing for a generation of infrastructure where AI is built into the architecture from the start. Sixth-generation networks, expected to reach commercial development over the coming decade, are being designed with AI at the center of how spectrum is allocated, traffic is routed, and failures are detected. A paper by researchers at Harokopio University of Athens examines how different AI techniques map to specific layers of 6G network design, from the …
