Janevski T. Future Fixed and Mobile Broadband Internet, Clouds, and IoT/AI

Wiley-IEEE Press, 2024. — 345 p.All-in-one resource on the development of Internet and telecoms worldwide, based on the technological frameworks as defined by the ITU.Future Fixed and Mobile Broadband Internet, Clouds, and IoT/AI is a highly comprehensive resource that provides full coverage of existing and future fixed and mobile broadband networks, internet, telecom, and OTT services. This book explains how to perform technical, business, and regulatory analysis for future 5G-Advanced, 6G, Wi-Fi, and optical access. This book also covers optical transport, submarine cable, future satellite broadband, cloud computing, massive and critical IoT and frameworks, and the use of AI / ML in telecommunications.The main “form” of AI at present is Machine Learning (ML). ITU has defined architecture for ML in future networks including 5G/IMT‐2020 and beyond. What is ML? According to the ITU’s definition: Machine Learning refers to processes that enable computational systems to understand data and gain knowledge from it without necessarily being explicitly programmed. However, ML is based on mathematics and it is commonly implemented via software tools that are programmed (either by humans or by software tools developed by humans).The ML model is created by applying Machine Learning techniques to data to learn from them. What is the purpose of the ML model? It is used to generate predictions (e.g. regression, classifi­ cation, clustering) on new (untrained) data. How is the ML model implemented? Typically, it is deployed in the form of software (e.g. virtual machine) or hardware component (e.g. IoT device). What do ML techniques include? They typically include certain learning algorithms that map the input data (which is used for feeding the ML) to output data. Normally, the type of data depends upon the use case (e.g. it is traffic data in a case of QoS management or network optimization).Topics covered include:Internet technologies, IPv6, QUIC, DNS, IPX, QoS in Internet/IP, cybersecurity, future Internet 2030, Internet governance.
