Read all about it – from radio optimisation to alignment with 6G
SoftBank’s Jinsung Choi, Chair of the AI RAN Alliance, (and former chair of the O-RAN ALLIANCE and founding chair of TIP) announced via LinkedIn that the former has published a white paper on its mission and vision.
He says it includes a “comprehensive roadmap shaping the future of telecommunications through the convergence of AI and Radio Access Networks (RAN). This milestone document highlights how AI is revolutionizing network management, creating new business opportunities, and paving the way toward 6G technologies.”
Apparently, key areas of the paper are:
• Transforming network performance which seeks to show how AI-driven RAN can optimise radio resource management, adapt to real-time traffic changes and deliver personalised experiences for users
• Driving innovation through collaboration – explores how industry leaders, telecom vendors and AI providers can collaborate under the AI-RAN Alliance framework to develop scalable, real-world solutions
• Unlocking new business models explains how AI-powered RAN could enable new revenue streams, from edge AI services to intelligent automation across industries.
• Future-ready telecoms outlines how the Alliance’s vision aligns with 6G aspirations, setting a foundation for “ultra-responsive, AI-driven mobile networks”.
The AI-RAN Alliance invites industry innovators, technology providers, and researchers to collaborate and shape the future of connected communication, to “unlock RAN’s full potential and redefine telecom’s next frontier”.
The AI-RAN Alliance was announced at MWC 2024 with AWS, Arm, DeepSig, Ericsson, Microsoft, Nokia, Northeastern University, NVIDIA, Samsung Electronics, SoftBank and T-Mobile US.
