The Nvidia 6G Research Cloud Platform provides researchers with a suite of solutions to advance AI in Radio Access Network (RAN) technology.
The platform enables organizations to accelerate the development of 6G technology using cloud infrastructure.
Initial adopters and ecosystem partners include Ansys, Arm, ETH Zurich, Fujitsu, Keysight, Nokia, Northeastern University, Rohde & Schwarz, Samsung, SoftBank, and Viavi.
“The massive increase in connected devices and numerous new applications in 6G requires a significant leap forward in radio spectrum efficiency in wireless communications,” said Ronnie Basishta, senior vice president of communications at Nvidia.
“The key to achieving this is the use of AI, a full software-defined RAN reference stack, and next-generation digital twin technology.”
The Nvidia 6G Research Cloud Platform consists of the Nvidia Airborne Omniverse Digital Twin for 6G. This is a reference application and developer sample that enables physically accurate simulation of a complete 6G system. It incorporates a software-defined RAN and user equipment simulator with realistic terrain and object properties.
Also includes Nvidia Aerial CUDA-Accelerated RAN. A full software-defined RAN stack allows researchers to customize, program, and test their 6G networks in real-time.
Finally, it also features the Nvidia Sionna Neural Radio Framework. A framework that provides seamless integration with popular frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow. Generate and capture data using Nvidia GPUs to train AI and machine learning models at scale.
“The future convergence of 6G and AI has the potential to transform the technology landscape,” said Charlie Zhang, senior vice president, Samsung Research America.
“This will enable seamless connectivity and intelligent systems that will redefine how we interact with the digital world and usher in an era of unparalleled innovation and connectivity.”
“Ansys is committed to advancing the mission of the 6G Research Cloud by seamlessly integrating the state-of-the-art Ansys Perceive EM solver into the Omniverse ecosystem,” said Ansys Program Director, 5G/6G and Space. said one Shawn Carpenter.
“Perceive EM revolutionizes the creation of digital twins for 6G systems. There is no doubt that the convergence of Nvidia and Ansys technologies will pave the way for AI-enabled 6G communication systems.”
“Access to wireless-specific design tools is limited but necessary for building robust AI,” said Kailash Narayanan, president and general manager of Keysight Communications Solutions Group.
“Keysight is pleased to leverage our wireless networking expertise to enable the next generation of innovation in 6G communications networks.”
