SARATOGA, Calif., Feb. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Aira Technologies, a pioneer in the application of Machine Learning (ML) to radically improve wireless telecommunications, today announced that it will deliver a near-real time application (xApp) that will work in concert with the Azure Operator Distributed Services to deliver advanced 5G RAN capabilities that have long been requested by Mobile Network Operators (MNOs). Aira has used sophisticated machine learning (ML) techniques to develop one of the industry's first xApp that enables better channel estimation and unprecedented channel prediction performance to help maximize downlink throughput and range. The Intel FlexRAN™ reference software, with a software based Layer 1 (L1), provides the flexibility to tap into the right part of the L1 to enable the xApp. Accurate channel prediction helps minimize inter-user interference in order to maximize multi-user MIMO performance. Disaggregated and programmable networks promise more innovation using software solutions.

Key Points:

Accurate channel prediction helps minimize inter-user interference in order to maximize multi-user MIMO performance.
"Aira's innovation in applying sophisticated ML to the 5G physical layer enables significant performance improvements in the RAN.
The RU itself is connected in an end-to-end fashion to the Aira DU, a Capgemini CU, and a Capgemini Core.
The output of the xApp is the prediction of channel evolution in-between S-slots, which results in improvements in RAN throughput and coverage.
