Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the arrival of 6G networks, the next-generation smart networks will be an important component, promoting the enormous application prospects of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. In this process, many urgent technology and application challenges are continuously emerging in the next-generation smart networks, such as wireless communications, multimedia processing, big data, edge computing, optical wireless communication, and so on. In dealing with these urgent challenges, AI-aided applications play important roles. Exploring the following topics could be helpful in understanding next-generation smart networks and in providing better solutions for dealing with associated challenges: state-of-the-art AI-aided technologies in wireless AI, green communications, distributed machine learning application, image processing, video processing, speech and audio processing, music processing, natural language processing, multimodality processing, Internet-of-Things, agricultural big data, agricultural Internet-of-Things (IoT), smart agriculture, edge computing, wireless power transfer, and heterogeneous computing, etc. The aim of this Special Issue is to present a multidisciplinary state-of-the-art reference regarding theoretical and real-world challenges and innovative solutions by inviting high-quality research papers for AI technologies and applications in next-generation smart networks.
We look forward to your contributions.
