AI Revolution in Communications: Large Language Models and Beyond
In this episode of the IEEE Signal Processing Society podcast, Prof. Samson Lasaulce, Chief Research Scientist at Khalifa University (KU) interviews Prof. Merouane Debbah, founding Director of the KU 6G Research Center. They talk about how AI is transforming the future of wireless communications, the use of large language models (LLMs) to revolutionize network management, improve communication protocols, and advance automation.
About the speaker
Mérouane Debbah is a Professor at Khalifa University of Science and Technology in Abu Dhabi and founding Director of the KU 6G Research Center. His research bridges mathematics, algorithms, statistics, and communication sciences, with a focus on random matrix theory and learning algorithms. He has played a pivotal role in advancing small cells (4G), Massive MIMO (5G), and Large Intelligent Surfaces (6G) technologies. He is a frequent keynote speaker at international events in the field of telecommunication and AI.
In this episode, Professor Debbah explores the transformative potential of LLMs in wireless communication. Key applications include dynamic spectrum management, end-to-end system optimization, fault detection, mobility management, and AI-based localization. These techniques enhance data handling and system performance by replacing complex modeling with efficient data-driven approaches. These insights shed light on how 6G, powered by pervasive AI, will revolutionize wireless networks and redefine communication frameworks for the future.
