This seminar explores how multi-modal AI and large language models can optimize future 6G wireless networks by integrating diverse data sources to enhance reliability, efficiency, and overall performance.

Overview

As 6G networks advance, the demand for reliable, efficient, and intelligent wireless communications intensifies, driven by the growing demand for seamless connectivity. This talk explores how machine learning, particularly multi-modal AI that integrates diverse data sources such as sensors and cameras, can significantly optimize wireless network performance. We discuss key trends like multi-modal sensing and its role in refining beamforming techniques, improving decision-making processes, and effectively allocating resources. Additionally, we briefly highlight the promising applications of large language models (LLMs) in supporting real-time network management decisions. These AI-driven advancements are poised to substantially enhance the reliability, efficiency, and trustworthiness of future 6G wireless systems.
