How AI and 5G will Interact

More data, faster responses, stronger engagement.    All likely to follow.

When AI and 5G Combine, Watch For a New Generation of Applications   By AI Trends Staff

AI and 5G enable each other. Machine learning thrives on massive amounts of data, and 5G will create massive amounts of data. 5G provides the high-speed network to move the data that AI needs to succeed, and AI potentially has the ability to handle the complexity of 5G.

The combination stands to enable a new generation of applications, suggests a recent article in Electronic Design. These include autonomous driving, augmented reality, virtual reality and the tactile internet.

The latency target built in for 5G is 1 ms; video streaming in comparison currently experiences a 1,000 ms latency. 

Some applications will require low latency, such as streaming video, and others will not. Network managers will need the ability to set priorities for how traffic flows. Network slicing is seen as one solution, in which a single, shared physical network has multiple virtualized networks running on top of it. This would allow a manufacturer for example, to pay for a network slice with a guaranteed latency and reliability for connecting smart machines and equipment. A separate less expensive slice could be for employee communications, such as cell phone communication and tablet operation. .... "
