Special Session: The Application of AI in Communication and Signal Processing for Extreme Scenarios

Communication and signal processing under extreme conditions in deep space and sea etc. are challenging. Series of problems caused by the signal ultra-high dynamic changing, extreme low SNR, long-distance transmission and so on, are difficult to be solved by traditional methods. The rapid development of machine learning, especially deep learning, provides brand new perspectives to the solutions of such problems. With the support of AI technology, the research on this field has been strongly promoted. Thus, this issue focuses on the development of leading technologies of communication and signal processing combined with AI methods in extreme scenarios. The exchange of views and cooperation are welcomed!
