Titel:
Open AI Cellular: Software Radio Platform for Prototyping and Testing of O-RAN Controllers

Abstract:
O-RAN introduces an architecture and open interfaces for developing virtualized, intelligent, and interoperable building blocks of next generation radio access networks (RANs). O-RAN-based 6G networks will incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into the deployment, operation, and maintenance of the network. AI can optimize parameters in a large search space, figure out a solution to respond to new situations, as well as interpolate when insufficient information is available.
This talk will introduce Open AI Cellular (OAIC), an open-source software platform that enables prototyping and testing of RAN control applications. After outlining the O-RAN architecture, the OAIC software framework, software radio testbeds, and a method for designing and deploying intelligent RAN control will be illustrated.
