Machine Learning (ML) In a 5G Standalone (SA) Self Organizing Network (SON)

Machine learning (ML) is included in Self-organizing Networks (SONs) that are key drivers for enhancing the Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) activities. It is included in the 5G Standalone (SA) system is one of the 5G communication tracks that transforms 4G networking to next-generation technology that is based on mobile applications. The research's main aim is to an overview of machine learning (ML) in 5G standalone core networks. 5G Standalone is considered a key enabler by the service providers as it improves the efficacy of the throughput that edges the network. It also assists in advancing new cellular use cases like ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC) that supports combinations of frequencies.Comment: 5G, Machine learning (ML), Self-organizing Networks (SONs), 5G Standalone, Artificial Intelligence (AI

Machine Learning for Resource Management in Cellular and IoT Networks: Potentials, Current Solutions, and Open Challenges

Internet-of-Things (IoT) refers to a massively heterogeneous network formed through smart devices connected to the Internet. In the wake of disruptive IoT with a huge amount and variety of data, Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) mechanisms will play a pivotal role to bring intelligence to the IoT networks. Among other aspects, ML and DL can play an essential role in addressing the challenges of resource management in large-scale IoT networks. In this article, we conduct a systematic and in-depth survey of the ML- and DL-based resource management mechanisms in cellular wireless and IoT networks. We start with the challenges of resource management in cellular IoT and low-power IoT networks, review the traditional resource management mechanisms for IoT networks, and motivate the use of ML and DL techniques for resource management in these networks. Then, we provide a comprehensive survey of the existing ML- and DL-based resource allocation techniques in wireless IoT networks and also techniques specifically designed for HetNets, MIMO and D2D communications, and NOMA networks. To this end, we also identify the future research directions in using ML and DL for resource allocation and management in IoT networks.Comment: 21 pages, 3 figure
