TL;DR: It is argued that deploying AI in fifth generation (5G) and beyond will require surmounting significant technical barriers in terms of robustness, performance, and complexity.

TL;DR: LTE is able to improve the DST and rate coverage probability of Wi-Fi while maintaining acceptable data rate performance when it adopts one or more of the following coexistence features: a shorter transmission duty cycle, lower channel access priority, or more sensitive clear channel assessment thresholds.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a brief overview of the Intelligent Beam Management (IMM) protocol in Release 15 of 5G New Radio, and identify six major challenges to BM for later 5G releases that will likely persist into 6G.
