Wi-Fi 9 to integrate AI for enhanced networking and services

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new IEEE 802.11bx amendment, known as WLAN Intelligent Networking (WIN), is being developed to make Wi-Fi 9 AI-ready. This initiative aims to move beyond basic communication, incorporating services like sensing and computation. The research explores AI's integration into Wi-Fi through three key areas: AI as a protocol to enhance PHY/MAC operations, AI as a platform for computation on Wi-Fi infrastructure, and AI as traffic requiring new handling policies. A case study on AI traffic differentiation using an extension of the Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) is presented as an example of the AI-as-traffic paradigm. AI

IMPACT This research outlines how future Wi-Fi standards could integrate AI, potentially enabling new services and more intelligent network operations.
