Abstract

The recent upsurge of diversified mobile applications, especially those supported by AI, is spurring heated discussions on the future evolution of wireless communications. While 5G is being deployed around the world, efforts from industry and academia have started to look beyond 5G and conceptualize 6G. We envision 6G to experience an unprecedented transformation that will make it completely different from the previous generations of wireless systems. In particular, 6G will go beyond mobile Internet and will be required to support AI services. Meanwhile, AI will play a critical role in designing and optimizing 6G architectures, protocols and operations. In this article, we discuss the features of 6G, and the difficulties of carrying out 6G, and AI-enabled methods for 6G network design and optimization.
