Fireside Chat: AI in 3GPP and O-RAN Standards

Show Description

As 5G deployment matures and research into 6G accelerates, the outcomes of today’s networks and tomorrow’s innovations are converging to shape the next generation of cellular and radio-access network (RAN) standards. This presentation explores how a diverse ecosystem of stakeholders including network operators, equipment manufacturers, chipset and device vendors, and vertical industries like automotive, industrial, and satellite are influencing the evolution of 6G.

Gain insights into the early work of standards bodies and working groups defining new radio access technologies, services, architectures, and core networks. A key focus will be the transformative role of artificial intelligence and machine learning across nearly every interface, from AI-enhanced air interfaces and network automation to AI-as-a-service offerings from operators. We’ll also examine the emerging concept of an AI or data plane within the 6G architecture, designed to support intelligent data movement and enable new services. The session will conclude with a look at potential features and use cases that could define the 6G experience.
