Special Issue Introduction

In the vast and ever-evolving realm of the Internet of Things (IoT), conventional artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms have played a crucial role in solving complex functions and facilitating complicated decision-making processes. Moreover, AI has also witnessed its potential capabilities in guiding IoT towards more autonomous and efficient systems, as demonstrated by its efficiency in tasks such as big data analysis and interpretation. However, with the arrival of the sixth generation (6G) communications era, marked by ubiquitous connectivity, extremely low latency, and ultrahigh reliability, the future landscape of IoT is undergoing significant changes. In this context, conventional AI models are encountering substantial challenges in adapting to the vast scale and complexity of data, fulfilling the requirements for real-time processing, and maintaining stable performance within the interconnected IoT system. The potential topics of this special issue include but are not limited to:

◼ GAI-assisted Radio Resource Management in IoT

◼ Network Optimization in IoT through GAI

◼ GAI-enabled Security Protection and Privacy Preserving in IoT

◼ GAI-assisted Collaborative Beamforming in IoT

◼ Mobile Edge Intelligence based on GAI for IoT

◼ Intelligent Energy Management with GAI for IoT

◼ GAI for Physical Layer Designs for IoT

◼ GAI-based Integrated Sensing and Communication for IoT

◼ Space-Air-Ground Integrated System to Support GAI-based IoT
