On the Combination of AI and Wireless Technologies: 3GPP Standardization Progress

Combing Artificial Intelligence (AI) and wireless communication technologies has become one of the major technologies trends towards 2030. This includes using AI to improve the efficiency of the wireless transmission and supporting AI deployment with wireless networks. In this article, the latest progress of the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standards development is introduced. Concentrating on AI model distributed transfer and AI for Beam Management (BM) with wireless network, we introduce the latest studies and explain how the existing standards should be modified to incorporate the results from academia.
