Aug. 10 (Asia Today) -- Samsung Electronics and Japanese mobile carrier NTT Docomo have successfully validated technology that uses artificial intelligence to optimize mobile network quality for individual users, the companies said Monday.
The technology is based on AI-powered radio access networks and analyzes individual service usage patterns and real-time wireless network conditions. It can predict deteriorating service quality and automatically apply network settings tailored to each user.
The development represents another step toward AI-centric communications networks capable of recognizing individual users' circumstances and requirements and adjusting network resources accordingly.
Samsung said the AI technology can learn users' travel routes and service usage patterns, detect signs of declining network quality in advance and select network settings such as the optimal frequency band before a connection problem occurs.
