09.30 - 10.45 TRACK 1 | SESSION 1 | TUTORIAL

Tutorial Part 1: “Understanding the Pivotal Role of Software-Based Beyond 5G and 6G in the Age of Complexity, Energy Efficiency, and AI”

The tutorial will cover a comprehensive number of software-based technologies from the perspective of the 6G and beyond 5G system as a basis for a highly flexible, customizable and automatic multi-network infrastructure, as well as a critical overview of the impact of AI on the network.

Aiming to reflect the current R&D trends, it focuses on the importance of full softwarization and cloud-native developments to address the complexity and energy-efficiency challenges, as well as on its highly ramified implications towards a high utility, “useful” network, customized for satellite-terrestrial convergence, campus networks for highly diverse use cases and large operators alike.
