Industry Session-3 by Ericsson Research
Abstract of the Workshop
Advanced 5G and 6G use cases bring in new concepts such as AI-native cellular architectures and AI-based radio protocols. In this talk, we will look at two key aspects:
1) The use of AI and ML techniques for advanced management of radio protocols, that can improve performance over traditional signal processing based techniques
2) An intent driven cognitive network platform that can perform improved management of the network to provide differentiated QoS services. We will showcase some key results from recent technical publications from Ericsson including a couple of demonstration artefacts.
