Abstract:

With the continuous development of 5G, the era of the internet of everything is coming.Problems such as massive device connections, massive application requests, ultra-high network load and complex dynamic network environment pose great challenges to the optimization of 5G systems in the context of the internet of everything.Facing these challenges, artificial intelligence (AI) shows its unique advantages.Firstly, the advantages of deep learning driven AI algorithms in 5G system compared with conventional algorithms were briefly introduced.Then, the application of AI algorithms in multi-access edge computing (MEC) and mmWave massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system were described in detail, with advantages and disadvantages of each method being compared and analyzed.Finally, according to the existing research, the shortcomings of AI algorithms in 5G application scenarios were summarized and the future research directions were forecasted.

Key words: 5G, artificial intelligence, reinforcement learning, edge computing, mmWave massive MIMO
