Meanwhile\, 5G mobile communication systems are becoming incr easingly complex due to the adoption of advanced technology features and t he need to support various services with stringent performance requirement s. AI has emerged as a powerful technology that improves system performanc e and enables new functions in 5G-Advanced and 6G. As 3GPP is ramping up A I items for the 5G-Advanced evolution\, we anticipate that AI adoption in mobile networks will accelerate beyond proprietary solutions in the coming years. This talk will provide a state-of-the-art overview of AI use in mo bile networks by describing the basic concepts\, reviewing the recent key advances\, discussing details of the 3GPP standardization aspects\, and sh aring various design rationales influencing standardization.\n\nBiography\ n\nXingqin Lin is a Senior Standards Engineer at NVIDIA\, leading 3GPP sta ndardization and conducting research at the intersection of 5G/6G and AI. Before joining NVIDIA\, he was with Ericsson\, leading 5G/6G research and standardization in focus areas. He was a member of the Ericsson NextGen Ad visory Board\, collaborating with Ericsson Executive Team on strategic pro jects. He is an expert in wireless communications and technology strategy and a key contributor to 5G NR\, NB-IoT\, and LTE standards. His pioneerin g work has led to strategic opportunities\, products\, and real-world depl oyments in the telecom industry\, enabling major network transitions from 4G to 5G. He is co-author of the book “Wireless Communications and Netwo rking for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles” and the lead editor for the book “ 5G and Beyond: Fundamentals and Standards.” He has published 80+ referee d papers and contributed to 200+ patent applications\, including standards essential inventions. His publications have been cited over 7\,000 times. \n\nHe has garnered several awards\, including the IEEE Communications Soc iety Fred W. Ellersick Prize (2021)\, IEEE Vehicular Technology Society Ea rly Career Award (2021)\, IEEE WCNC Best Paper Award (2020)\, and IEEE Com munications Society Best Young Professional Award in Industry (2020)\, amo ng others. He was included in the list of AI 2000 Most Influential Scholar s in the field of Internet of Things (2021 & 2022) and the list of the Wor ld’s Top 2% Scientists (2020 & 2021). He serves/served as an editor of t he IEEE Communications Letters (2015-2018)\, IEEE Communications Magazine (2022-now)\, IEEE Network (2021-now)\, IEEE Internet of Things Magazine (2 021-now)\, and a guest editor for the IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on “Aerial Communications\,” IEEE Wireless Communications Speci al Issue on “AI-Powered Telco Network Automation: 5G Evolution and 6G\, ” and IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications special issue on “3GPP technologies: 5G-Advanced and beyond.” He is an IET Fellow\, an IEEE Senior Member\, and an IET Fellow Assessor. He holds a Ph.D. in elect rical and computer engineering from The University of Texas at Austin\, US A.\n\nAt time of event join us at https://simnet.zoom.us/j/97096131237?pwd =YWVhZTN5OW00ZkNmS2pMaVF3d0xZZz09\n\nCo-sponsored by: Pradeep Kumar\n\nVir tual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/342680 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/342680 ORGANIZER:tromar@cpp.edu SEQUENCE:2 SUMMARY:AI for 5G-Advanced towards 6G URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/342680 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><span style="font-size: 14pt\;"><strong>Ab stract:&nbsp\;</strong></span></p>\n<p>We have entered the era of AI\, bro ught about by three converging forces\, including the availability of big data\, the invention of deep learning algorithms\, and high-performance co mputing accelerated by GPU.
