VIAVI CTO Dr. Sameh Yamany Will Deliver Keynote Address on "Telecom Digital Twins And Their Role In Future Technologies Maturity"
CHANDLER, Ariz. , June 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Viavi Solutions Inc. (VIAVI) (NASDAQ: VIAV) today announced that it will be presenting research, solutions and perspectives on next-generation networking technologies including 6G, AI, Open RAN (O-RAN) and Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs) at the IEEE International Communications Conference, in Denver, Colorado . The company will also showcase the VIAVI Automated Lab-as-a-Service for Open RAN ( VALOR™ ).
6G
- Full AI neural network transmission . Showcasing VIAVI's proprietary complete neural network (NN) receiver in a downlink scenario, utilizing 5G-NR compliant OFDM signal (PDSCH) transmission and reception on a custom-built testbed.
- MIMO Delay-Doppler Domain waveform . Orthogonal Time Frequency Space (OTFS) is a modulation technique designed to combat the challenges posed by wireless channels' delay and Doppler shift characteristics. VIAVI will demonstrate OTFS's performance in multi-antenna transmission using a VIAVI proprietary simplified precoder solution and compare it with OFDM.
- Rate-splitting multiple access in an overloaded network . This demonstration will showcase a VIAVI proprietary technique in the Rate Splitting Multiple Access (RSMA) scheme, designed to mitigate multi-user interference in overloaded networks where transmitter antennas are fewer than the users.
High-Fidelity Digital Twin
VIAVI is collaborating with the Institute for Wireless Internet of Things and the Open6G cooperative research center at Northeastern University on large-scale RF propagation channel modeling based on AI and ML technologies to develop a city-scale digital twin of a 6G network. VIAVI and Northeastern will demonstrate:
- Use of AI/ML to augment ray tracing for radio frequency (RF) propagation modeling to drive the digital twin
- Conducting real-world measurement campaigns in the Northeastern Boston campus using the VIAVI Ranger rugged RF capture and playback instrument
- Incorporating higher-layer KPIs in the digital twin, to more effectively model effects of network conditions on application performance.
Open RAN and NTN
- VALOR. VALOR, made possible by a $21.7 million grant from the U.S. NTIA Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund (PWSCIF), provides fully automated, open and impartial testing and integration for Open RAN. VALOR provides a pathway to certification in the U.S. for new entrants, startups and academia. Access to VALOR is free for academic institutions and NTIA co-grantees, subject to availability.
- NTN. VIAVI and Rohde & Schwarz will jointly demonstrate an end-to-end NTN-NR testbed for the lab, evaluating end-to-end user app performance over NTN links.
- RIC Test . An energy-saving rApp integrated with a Non-RT RIC will be demonstrated with the VIAVI TeraVM RIC Test . This rApp uses intelligent procedures based on ML to optimize cell control, achieving significant energy savings without compromising service quality in realistic scenarios.
- O-RAN Security Test . O-DU/O-CU security will be validated using the VIAVI O-RAN Security Suite .
