Keysight joins AI-RAN Alliance to boost AI in mobile radio networks
Keysight Technologies has joined a new consortium is focused on integrating artificial intelligence advancing into wireless communications system to boost radio access networks and reduce power consumption,
The AI-RAN Alliance was founded by ARM, Nvidia, Microsoft and the University of Tokyo, along with equipment makers Nokia, Ericsson and Samsung. Keysight is active in a variety of early research projects ranging from optimising wireless performance to advancing AI learning in wireless communications testing. Keysight is also part of NIST’s AI Safety Consortium and is engaged in multiple standards and research initiatives related to the nascent field of validation of AI systems.
AI is a powerful tool with the potential to revolutionise wireless communications networks. The natural complexity of its architectures and operations make RAN suitable for AI in order to drive more optimal, reliable, and efficient mobile networks. European test equipment maker Rohde & Schwarz has also joined the alliance.
The AI-RAN Alliance wants to find ways to enhance mobile network efficiency, reduce power consumption, and retrofit existing infrastructure that will unlock new economic opportunities, facilitated by 5G and 6G. The alliance will do this with RAN-related AI research in the areas of improving spectral efficiency, using architectures more effectively, generating new AI-driven revenue opportunities, and deploying AI at the network edge to offer new services and increase operational efficiency.
Giampaolo Tardioli, Vice President, 6G and Next Generation Technology at Keysight, said: “With our deep expertise in simulation, modeling, and measurement science, Keysight will provide valuable solutions to accelerate the deployment of AI in the RAN and to improve accuracy and trustworthiness of the models of AI in the RAN. Joining the AI-RAN Alliance is a natural choice and another proof point of Keysight’s commitment in enabling innovation across the communication and computing industries.”
“The AI-RAN Alliance is excited to welcome Keysight as a new member. As the wireless industry matures from AI model development to deployment, there is a need for rigorous testing of these models to ensure consistent and expected performance and reliability of AI models. The domain knowledge Keysight brings in these areas will help further the alliance’s mission of bringing AI technology to the RAN,” said Ardavan Tehrani, Samsung Research, AI-RAN Alliance Board Director.
