Special Issue on Artificial Intelligence for Wireless Networks (AI4WN)
Submission Date: 2019-12-01

The focus of this Special Issue is on Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Wireless Networks. AI applications are quickly finding their way into everyday life - whether it's eal-time traffic data, sensor data from self-driving cars, or Netflix entertainment recommendations. All of these wireless network applications generate extreme volumes of data that must be collected and processed in real time. The advantages of AI are numerous, most notably are learning from examples, experience, scalability, adaptability, and the ability to extract rules without the need for detailed or precise mathematical modeling. In general, the advantages of pursuing this line of research have been proven worthy.

The goal of the Special Issue is to publish the most recent results in the development of AI for wireless networks. Researchers and practitioners working in this area are expected to take this opportunity to discuss and express their views on the current trends, challenges, and state of the art solutions addressing various issues in AI for wireless networks. Review papers on this topic are also welcome. Topics to be covered in this Special Issue include the following topics, but are not limited to:
