Dr Jernej Hribar, CONNECT Research Fellow at Trinity College Dublin, and Dr Andrea Bonfante came third out of 1600 participants in the ITU (International Telecommunication Union ) AI for Good: Al Machine Learning in 5G Challenge.
They competed in a challenge entitled “Federated Learning for Spatial Reuse in a multi-BSS (Basic Service Set) scenario”, one of sixteen open challenges specified by ITU to explore how to make the best use of AI/ML in future networks. Their solution can improve Wi-Fi network throughput while also protecting user data.
Their Grand Challenge Finale presentation can be found here:

This work will contribute to a journal paper in the next ITU journal.
