In a rapidly evolving world, we now possess the ability to turn any device into a network administrator. Gaining this superpower is possible because of the significant strides made in the field of Cognitive Networks.
How do we describe Cognitive Networks? Picture your brain’s ability to learn, remember, and make decisions — but imagine all those skills packed into a high-tech device. Simply put, cognitive networks are the future of technology, giving everyday devices the ability to learn from past events and adapt, learn from new information, and make smart choices based on everything they’ve absorbed. This allows the networks to evolve and adapt based on user behaviors and preferences.
Digital settings, more often than not, have predetermined rules in place that manage how various devices operate and talk to each other. However, these rules are set in stone and do not change, which can potentially cause some hiccups when it comes to efficiency and trouble-free operations. This is why cognitive networks are game-changers. They give a helping hand by enabling devices to adjust and evolve according to the needs of the user and conditions of the space they are being used in.
This does not mean cognitive networks are devoid of supervision; they are steered by humans and guided by ingrained operating protocols. The primary difference is that cognitive networks are allowed to adapt and grow based on their understanding rather than sticking to hard and fast rules. Just like the brain grows with new experiences, cognitive networks can learn from past experiences, user behaviors, and network conditions to better themselves.
As is the case with any new technology, cognitive networks also face some challenges. One of the main stumbling blocks is the ‘right or wrong’ conundrum. Since cognitive networks learn and develop based on user data, if the data is incorrect, the network might learn the wrong things. This will lead to wrong decisions and potential disruption in network services.
However, despite potential drawbacks, the power and potential of cognitive networks are undeniable. The ability of a network to learn and adapt based on user behavior is revolutionary. Imagine a world where your devices learn from you, adapt to you, and grow with you. That’s where cognitive networks promise to take us, and that’s a journey we want to be a part of.
