Section 14 · AI Everywhere

On-device intelligence for every layer

AI is not a feature; it is the substrate that makes the mesh adaptive.

Predict congestion, detect malicious nodes, manage battery, classify interference, allocate spectrum, and denoise voice in real time — all locally on the NPU.

Congestion prediction

Short-horizon LSTM warns the router before queues overflow.

Anomaly detection

Autoencoder flags Sybil and eclipse-attack patterns.

Power management

RL policy schedules radios to meet QoS at minimum joules.

Spectrum classifier

CNN identifies interference type and selects a clean channel.

Voice DSP

Neural denoiser + packet-loss concealment on the same NPU.
