This book focuses on the use of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) based techniques to solve issues related to communication networks, their layers, as well as their applications. The book first offers an introduction to recent trends regarding communication networks. The authors then provide an overview of theoretical concepts of AI/ML, techniques and protocols used in different layers of communication. Furthermore, this book presents solutions that help analyze complex patterns in user data and ultimately improve productivity. Throughout, AI/ML-based solutions are provided, for topics such as signal detection, channel modeling, resource optimization, routing protocol design, transport layer optimization, user/application behavior prediction, software-defined networking, congestion control, communication network optimization, security, and anomaly detection. The book features chapters from a large spectrum of authors including researchers, students, as well as industrials involved in research and development.
