TALK

​​AI and machine learning technologies are already widely used in ICT. In 6G, these technologies will be applied to various network services. The O-RAN Alliance is promoting the introduction of open architecture in mobile networks, particularly in the Radio Access Network (RAN). The RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) is being actively developed for 5G RAN automation and optimization. An ecosystem of xApp/rApp, which includes a variety of AI/ML applications running on the RIC platform, is also being created. In this webinar, Dr Choi discussed how AI/ML-based 5G RIC will adapt to the requirements of 6G and the new opportunities it provides to the AI/ML industry.
