Preface
An evolving concept called data-driven intelligence is a model for a new viewpoint
on gathering vision from a vast pool of data. Data-driven techniques put robust
importance on the large dataset to solve a specific problem. There are more than
370 million Internet users worldwide. The number of unique mobile users is almost
5 billion, with the total number of mobile connections exceeding 8 billion. This
indicates that wireless communication is a prevalent field. Wireless networks can
show random interactions between algorithms from multiple protocol layers, inter-
actions between multiple devices, and hardware-specific effects. Different wireless
technologies including mobile cellular, fixed line, Wi-Fi, and others are widely used
for diverse communication purposes. It is estimated that the majority of users access
the Internet via mobile devices. Internet traffic is dominated by multimedia content,
and its proportion is ever increasing. This increases the quality of service/quality
of experience requirements. Optimizing multiple, often conflicting goals according
to different application requirements is of fundamental importance in this context.
With the spreading of the Internet and broadening of its capacity, data is available
in abundance. Moreover, more wireless data can be collected from wireless test-
bed facilities. Many fields benefit from data to optimize decisions. Many data sets
related to the performance and security of different wireless networks, i.e., wireless
sensor networks and the Internet of Things, are publicly available. There has been
a growing trend to benefit from data-driven techniques like machine learning to
improve decision-making, management, performance, and security issues in wire-
less networks.
This edited book aims to deliver knowledge that can highlight the importance of
data-driven techniques to solve wireless communication problems. As a next step,
the solution to those problems, using various data-driven techniques, primarily from
machine learning (supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement), deep learning, fed-
erated learning, and artificial intelligence, are presented.
The chapters of this book are authored by several international researchers. This
book is composed of 10 chapters that can be read based on the interest of the reader
without having to read the entire book. These chapters were carefully selected after a
rigorous review. This book is an excellent reference for computer scientists, research-
ers, and developers, who wish to contribute to the domain of data-driven intelligence
in the field of wireless networks and related areas. We tried to include sufficient
details and provide the necessary background information in each chapter to help
the readers easily understand the content. We hope readers will enjoy this book and
hope it will help graduate students who are interested in working on the domain of
data-driven intelligence in their research.
