由人工智慧驱动的激进且可部署的无线平台

彻底重新设计的人工智慧原生空中介面可望解决 5G 的商业缺陷。

本报告分析了 5G 先进和 6G 无线电平台当前和未来的发展，特别是人工智慧原生空中介面的潜力。我们也研究了 MNO 目前在使用 5G 无线电时面临的课题，这些无线电未针对新兴云端原生 RAN 环境进行最佳化，并且不支援全新的用例和经济性。

目录

• 目前 5G 无线的主要缺点以及如何解决这些缺点以支援营运商的收入成长
• 产业在新波形、新用户体验和货币化方面取得进展
• 云端和 RAN 生态系统的有效协作可减少 vRAN 和高阶无线电之间的权衡
• 未来 RAN 性能和商业成功以及 AI 原生空中介面的主要课题

"An AI-native, radically redesigned air interface would address the commercial shortcomings of 5G."

This report analyses the current and future development of the 5G Advanced and putative 6G radio platform, especially in relation to the potential AI-native air interface.

It examines the challenges that MNOs currently face when using 5G radio that is not optimised for the emerging cloud-native RAN environment and does not support radical new use cases and economics.

The report also assesses how new collaborations between various stakeholders could help to address these challenges and produce an AI-native radio platform that would support new business models without imposing a capex-heavy 'big bang' upgrade on MNOs.

Key questions answered in this report:

• What are the primary shortcomings of the current 5G radio in supporting operator revenue growth and how can they be addressed?
• What is the industry progress towards new waveforms and how could these enable new user experiences and revenue?
• How can the cloud and RAN ecosystems collaborate more effectively to reduce the trade-offs between vRAN and advanced radios?
• What impact could an AI-native air interface have on the performance and commercial success of a future RAN, and what are the main challenges?
