大綱：

The fifth generation (5G) networks are demanded to support any vertical applications at any deployment environments, which involve complex resource allocations, transmission adaptation, network configuration and ambient cognition for a full operation automation. To this end, the recent advance of artificial intelligent (AI) and machine learning (ML) computings have been regarded as a promising innovation to make the next generation networks "intelligent" and create a new paradigm shift of the mobile network design. A pioneer example is the radio access network (RAN) architecture proposed by Open RAN Alliance in 2018 targeting at openness and intelligence to sustain AI/ML computings on the fifth generation (5G) RAN. Since Release 18 (also known as the 5G-Advanced network), 3GPP also launched the normative discussions on the evaluations of AI/ML for the air interface and next generation RAN. Furthermore, considerable research and visions also reveal the crucial roles of AI/ML in the sixth generation (6G) smart networks. To comprehend, this paradigm shifting trend in the evolution toward 5G-Advanced and 6G Networks, in this tutorial talk, the recent progress of the integrated designs of AI/ML and next generation mobile networks (including Open RAN, 5G-Advanced and 6G) will be introduced. Potential technical challenges and research opportunities will be discussed as well.
