On the Combination of AI and Wireless Technologies: 3GPP Standardization Progress
This work addresses the incremental integration of AI into wireless standards for industry stakeholders, aiming to enhance network performance and deployment capabilities.
The paper reviews 3GPP standardization progress on integrating AI with wireless technologies, focusing on AI model distributed transfer and AI for beam management to improve wireless transmission efficiency and support AI deployment.
Combing Artificial Intelligence (AI) and wireless communication technologies has become one of the major technologies trends towards 2030. This includes using AI to improve the efficiency of the wireless transmission and supporting AI deployment with wireless networks. In this article, the latest progress of the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standards development is introduced. Concentrating on AI model distributed transfer and AI for Beam Management (BM) with wireless network, we introduce the latest studies and explain how the existing standards should be modified to incorporate the results from academia.
