Ericsson and Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IIT-Kharagpur) have entered into a long-term partnership for joint research in the areas of AI, computing and wireless. Two agreements have been signed, allowing researchers from both organizations to collaborate in developing new AI and distributed computing technologies for his 6G research. A symposium on wireless and network research at GS Sanyal School of Telecommunications fostered discussion on the future of networks and communications.
AI and computing research plays a key role in Ericsson’s 6G network, and dynamic computing offload management at the edge, primarily driven by AI policies, is critical. IIT Kharagpur sees this collaboration as an opportunity to advance basic and applied research in the wireless field in line with Ericsson’s research themes.
Virendra Kumar Tewari, Director, IIT Kharagpur, emphasizes the role of this collaboration in contributing to Digital India and positioning India as a hub of technological innovation. The institute aims to contribute to various fields in the 6G era, including radio access technology, core network, RF and device technology, VLSI design, neuromorphic signal processing, etc.
Dr. Magnus Frodi, Head of Ericsson Research, emphasizes the importance of cooperation to strengthen R&D efforts in India, particularly in wireless, computing and AI research. This partnership is aimed at both basic and translational research for the future networking platform, with his 6G vision of integrating the physical and digital worlds.
Nitin Bansal, Managing Director, Ericsson India, emphasized Ericsson’s position as a leader in 6G innovation, with significant R&D investments in line with its India commitments. This collaboration includes efforts focused on resource optimization at the edge and his RL-based beamforming for JCAS (Joint Communications and Sensing).
The symposium featured speakers and panelists from GSSST and Ericsson Research to discuss the transformative potential of this collaborative research partnership. The focus is on pushing the boundaries of technological innovation, merging the physical and digital realms, and improving the quality of life through sensor-based communications, popularized in the 6G era.
