INTEGRATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE INTO COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS: ENHANCING PERFORMANCE, ADAPTABILITY, AND SECURITY

The integration of artificial intelligence into communication systems represents a critical advancement for enhancing operational resilience, adaptability, and security. This article examines how AI methods such as deep learning, reinforcement learning, and predictive modeling are applied across different layers of communication architectures, including signal processing, routing, and threat detection. A modular system design is proposed that leverages both centralized and edge-based AI components to support autonomous decision-making and efficient resource management in real time. Case studies and simulation-based evaluations reveal significant performance gains, including reduced latency, increased throughput, and improved cyber resilience. While challenges such as computational complexity and model interpretability remain, the findings underscore the necessity of AI integration in both civilian and military networks operating in uncertain or adversarial environments. The study concludes that future communication infrastructures will depend on intelligent architectures capable of learning, adapting, and maintaining functionality across a wide range of scenarios.
