Special issue on AI/ML solutions in 5G and future networks

The ITU AI/ML in 5G Challenge rallies like-minded students and professionals from around the world in solving problems at top of mind for innovators working to ensure that communication networks capitalize on new capabilities introduced by advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).  

Since 2020, ITU has been hosting the challenge in order to apply ITU’s ML architecture in 5G networks and provide proof of concepts for ML in 5G. Through various problem statements, participants are able to solve real world problems, based on standardized technologies developed for ML in 5G networks as well as new research questions in which solutions from participants becomes the state-of-the-art.  

The third edition of the ITU AI/ML in 5G Challenge was launched in 2022 with thirteen problem statements contributed by hosts from around the world. ITU is already now launching a new call for papers based on the research related to the third edition of the Challenge. Based on solutions and results from the ITU Challenge, we are calling for papers from hosts and participants of the ITU Challenge to submit their solutions for publication in a special issue of the ITU Journal. This special issue is dedicated to the exploration of AI and ML in 5G and future networks as well as enabling technologies and tools in networks.
