February 2024: New Training Course
AI, ML & Deep Learning in the Evolution of 5G and 6G


Simple AI Model

This new training course is a "need to have" for all technical staff in the cellular industry who want to understand how Artificial Intelligence (AI) will re-shape their working environment within the next decade.

  • The first chapter addresses two needs:
    • De-mystification and first classification of AI. For example, we ask a few questions to ChatGPT and identify the limitations of this fascinating LLM (Large Language Model).
    • To present the study items (SI) that 3GPP picked in 5G Advanced with Rel 18 and 19 to investigate, if, how, and to which degree different AI-models can improve cellular processes and operation.
  • Please note that this part is only intended as an overview to pave the way for the following chapters that focus on generic AI.
  • The second chapter is dedicated to AI-terminology and underlying technology. We explain in detail the operation of neurons and their different activation functions. We also present important AI-architectures like CNN (Convolutional Neuronal Network), which is particularly interesting for the cellular environment.
  • We also explain how NN's (Neuronal Networks) are trained with focus on supervised and unsupervised learning.
  • In a hands-on portion we show examples for convolution and max pooling operations.
  • In the next chapter we can observe AI at work: Using the MNIST-database we perform a live training of a configurable neuronal network to perform handwriting recognition on 60,000 samples of handwritten digits.
  • Live configuration relates to number of epochs, deployed activation function, number of hidden layers and neurons per layer etc.
  • After this command line experience, it is time for a deeper dive into the AI-approach of 3GPP with Rel 18 and 19. In this chapter we introduce the underlying AI-related technology of these different study items and present the simulation results. As one example, we catch the technical details about and behind CSI-compression and prediction through AI and relate these details back to the generic AI that we already introduced.
  • We also highlight 3GPP-specifics like life cycle management and which network elements may host which AI-specific functions like model storage, management etc.
  • The final chapter looks beyond 5G-Advanced and towards 6G: What is an AI-native radio interface and how does it alter the signal processing chain in transmit and receive direction?
  • We take a critical look behind the simulation results and the used channel models to better understand the practical relevance of such ubiquitous AI in the PHY-layer of cellular equipment.
  • The course can be provided onsite and online with preference on the online / webinar option.

Some of your questions that will be answered during this course:

  • In which areas of cellular will AI most likely be deployed?
  • What are the simulation results of the various 3GPP study items on AI?
  • What is the difference between neuron and perceptron?
  • Do we really require standardization of AI in cellular?
  • Under which circumstances do we require supervised learning and when can we use unsupervised learning?
  • How can AI improve the UL-coverage through non-linearity compensation of the UE power amplifier?
  • What are the specifics of an AI-native radio interface which is currently investigated for 6G?
  • How does it work?
  • In which respect can the ORAN RIC's and their xApps and rApps leverage network automation and self-organized networking also in proprietary environments?

  • The second chapter reviews the service based architecture (SBA) in a cloudified environment (K8S) and makes students familiar with the details of RESTful communication among containers.
  • Then we make a deep dive into the protocol details and operation of HTTP/2. This part is loaded with practical examples and real-life logfile analysis for the students.
  • We also dedicate quite some time on exercising with publicly available YAML-browsers to evaluate HTTP/2- and JSON-context within the SBA.
  • The following chapters are dedicated to the N1-, N2- and N3-interfaces towards the RAN with focus on NG-AP, GTP-U and its extension headers and of course NAS-signaling protocols 5GMM and 5GSM.
  • We provide a deep insight into the related procedures, esp. 5GMM Registration and 5GSM PDU-Session Establishment but also handover procedures. In this context we analyze both, the 3GPP-based scenarios and real-life logfiles.
  • Special focus is on 5G-specific enhancements like network slicing, NSSAI, SUPI/SUCI and 5G-AKA authentication.
  • The course can be provided onsite and online with preference on online / webinar option.

Some of your questions that will be answered during this course:

  • How can I relate messages within the 5GC to each other that belong to the same transaction?
  • In the same context: How do I interpret HTPP/2-message parameters like method, stream identifier and flag settings?
  • Which information do the pseudo-headers yield?
  • Where do I find and how do I interpret QFI-information inside GTP-U-frames?

Open RAN: Architecture, Implementation & Operation


Open RAN: Architecture, Implementation & Operation

This new course has been tailored for the needs of technical engineering staff who require thorough and deep understanding of the fascinating Open RAN approach, which might change the way how radio access networks are built and how they are operated.

  • Initially, we provide an introduction into the work and structure of the O-RAN alliance and an overview of the possible setup and configuration of O-RAN with different cloud types and locations.
  • In this chapter we already dive deeper into the different functional split options with focus on PHY-split options 7.X. We take this opportunity to provide and exercise a formula to calculate the required fronthaul capacity (in Gbit/s) depending on different constraints like available radio bandwidth, deployed split option and number of antenna ports and layers on the radio side.
  • The second part is dedicated to virtualization, starting with x86-based HW-virtualization but with focus on OS-virtualization and containers and pods. We practically exercise container handling and container orchestration with Kubernetes.
  • We also dedicate quite some time on the detailed description of the different acceleration options like GPU's and FPGA's. In that part, we also analyze the pros and cons of inline and look-aside virtualization.
  • The following chapter moves away from the plain RAN but focuses on the O-RAN specific RIC or RAN Intelligent Controller. We explain the split of the RIC into two parts, non-real time RIC and near-real time RIC and their most important parts: The rAPP's and the xAPP's. We present examples for both and provide an introduction into AI and ML and the principle operation of neural networks to enable the students to better understand the upcoming revolution in network operations with AI, enabled.
  • The next chapter deals with O-RAN's system management and orchestration layer apart from the RIC's and illustrates how this SMO-layer manages the different parts of an open RAN network. We provide insights into system configuration through YANG and NETCONF.
  • If there is enough time, we wrap everything up with political and technical conclusions about Open RAN and the most potential evolution of Open RAN into the future.

Some of your questions that will be answered during this course:

  • What does O-RAN really mean and which level of openness is preferable under which circumstances?
  • Why does O-RAN match so nicely the 5G-specific service enablers network slicing and mobile edge computing?
  • How do the different functional split options of different organizations (e.g. 3GPP, SCF, eCPRI, O-RAN alliance) differ from each other?
  • What are the differences between O-RU's with Cat-A and Cat-B? Why does the O-RAN alliance consider a Cat-C O-RU?
  • What makes containers more appealing for virtualization than virtual machines? Which mix configurations to expect between the two approaches in the future?
  • What are differences between the standardization of the 5GC and the O-RAN?
  • What is ML (Machine Learning)? How does it work? How does it relate to AI (Artificial Intelligence) and DL (Deep Learning)?
  • In which context does AI relate to xAPP's and rAPP's in the context of the RIC?
  • How can an MNO onboard xAPP's from arbitrary sources?
  • Where is the split in system management and orchestration between O-RAN's own SMO-layer and Kubernetes?
  • How does O-RAN use NETCONF and YANG for the configuration of different parts of the network like O-DU's and alike?

Note that our trainer will tailor the level of detail and the time spent on this chapter depending on the existing knowledge of the course participants. The following two chapters are dedicated to a detailed description of the updates to LTE-A with Rel 12 and Rel 13. In these chapters, we cover the different levels of carrier aggregation enhancements with Rel 12 and 13, e.g. UL-CA, combined FDD/TDD-CA and the related constraints and practical implementation challenges. In this part of the course we also introduce dual connectivity and its specifics for the UE and for the network side as a new way to do intersite carrier aggregation.

With Rel. 12, there is an exciting new market for 3GPP which is public safety, covered by the ProSe-, D2D- and sidelink- related parts of the specifications. We deal with this fascinating new technology and some of its specifics in this part of the course. Following a detailed analysis of various other enhancements like using 256-QAM modulation, the focus of the course changes to MTC and the IoT. We depict, which approach is taken by 3GPP to suit the needs of the IoT in a 3GPP-environment and point to alternative approaches like SigFox and Lora. The most important topics with respect to 3GPP, dealt with in detail are eDRX, PSM, SIM-less operation and the architecture and radio interface of the NB-IOT. Last but not least, the course focus is on LTE-U, LAA and LWA and depicts the pros and cons as well as the specifics of these three different approaches to combine LTE-A and WiFi.

"From IEEE 802.11n to 802.11ac and ad".

This course focus is on the VHT-related enhancements which the IEEE specified in the 802.11ac extension of the WLAN / WiFi standard series. However, the course also explains the specifics of 802.11 ad and the differences between these two amendments. Starting out with a primer on "before ac", the course initially focuses on 802.11 operation with respect to channel access and resource sharing. Namely the different channel access functions DCF, PCF, EDCA and HCCA are dealt with in detail and their differences and specifics are pointed out. During this part, the course also repeats the most important other characteristics of the OFDM-PHY and the MAC-layer. This includes a detailed consideration as to how QoS may be enabled in 802.11. The following chapter starts with an overview of the different groups of features which are added by the "ac"-extension of the standard. This chapter concludes with the "live"-calculation of the ac-related performance figures under different circumstances (e.g. modulation scheme, channelization). After this, the course focuses on the description and discussion of smart antenna techniques, namely SU-MIMO (up to 8 streams), MU-MIMO, and beamforming with ECFB as defined for 802.11ac. The students will learn without needing any mathematical formulas, how these techniques work and how they are applied in 802.11ac.

Questions like:

  • How does 802.11ac differ from 802.11n? Which features are inherited from 802.11n?
  • How does WiFi support the distinction of different QoS-requirements?
  • What are the various 802.11ac-related enhancements? And how does 802.11ac differ from 802.11ad?
