Nowadays vision of the network is an enabler of pervasive intelligent services, with a strong emphasis on its effectiveness for the third level. This will push revolutionary solutions at the IoT technology, system, and architecture levels with the native adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) to scale up performance as well as save energy and resources. 收起
