The AI Native 6G RAN

Описание: The Cognitive Horizon – Navigating the Transition from Massive MIMO to AI-Native 6G RAN
As we move toward the 2030 commercialization of 6G, the telecommunications industry is facing a complexity crisis where manual, rule-based optimization becomes mathematically impossible. This video explores the fundamental paradigm shift from deterministic 5G planning to probabilistic, agentic 6G architectures.
What you will learn in this deep dive:
• The "Golden Band" (FR3): Why the 7.125 to 24.25 GHz range is the strategic choice for 6G, offering a critical balance between the wide coverage of sub-6 GHz and the massive capacity of mmWave.
• Massive to Gigantic MIMO (gMIMO): An analysis of how 6G will scale antenna arrays from the 5G standard of 64 ports to Gigantic MIMO systems featuring at least 256 antenna ports.
• The Death of Drive Testing: How Digital Radio Twins (DRT) and Neural Network-based propagation models are replacing manual surveys, reducing prediction errors from 8 dB to just 3–4 dB through real-time ray-tracing and user telemetry.
• Agentic AI & Intent-Based Networking: A look at the next frontier of automation where LLM-driven software agents understand natural language "Intents" to orchestrate complex RAN tasks across xApps and rApps within the Open RAN (O-RAN) RIC framework.
• Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC): Understanding how the 6G network becomes a sensor, necessitating the introduction of the Radar Range Equation (1/R
4
) into standard link budgets.
• Conflict Mitigation & GCNs: Managing the "Traffic Steering vs. Energy Saving" wars in multi-vendor environments using Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) to arbitrate between competing autonomous applications.
• Research Integrity: The importance of the 3R’s (Rigor, Reproducibility, and Responsibility) as we navigate the "black box" era of AI-native radio interfaces.
Analogy for the Future: Traditional radio planning was like a master clockmaker manually adjusting gears to keep time. Cognitive 6G automation is like replacing those gears with a self-correcting atomic clock that not only senses shifts in the environment but autonomously adjusts its internal mechanisms to stay perfectly synchronized without human intervention [Script].
Target Audience: Radio planning and optimization engineers, telecommunication researchers, and graduate students.
