Automating certain basic and complex operations to enable zero-touch autonomous networking, which necessitates the use of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and reasoning, is a continual undertaking for 5G.

In pursuit of M2M security, forget the user entirely. Endpoint privilege management tools adjust user privileges at runtime for applications and processes. They apply policies to the process, taking the user out of the equation, and so we are again dealing with machine identity. Such tools apply the policy of least privilege (PoLP) approach to each application or process.

Steven Yi, President of Huawei Middle East, said: “We continue to host the Huawei Middle East ICT Competition because we see the long-term benefit and impact of nurturing talent in the region”.

Ericsson and KAUST will use machine learning for frequency-selective wireless channels, with the goal of using deep learning to solve channel estimation and resource allocation problems for massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, as current optimization algorithms often have significant computational complexity and processing overhead. Ericsson and KAUST will investigate transparent and flexible intelligent surfaces for increased communication in 5G and beyond.

Through its partnership with VMware, Vodafone modernizes its network infrastructure with automation built-in, setting them up for long-term success as they roll out 5G services to even more markets in the coming years.
