Officially named the NVIDIA 6G Research Cloud platform, it allows researchers to develop the upcoming cellular connection standards with a novel approach that utilizes AI in Radio Access Network (RAN).
With trillions of devices projected to harness the power of 6G involving autonomous vehicles, smart spaces, and more XR/MR among other things, ecosystem partners and a portion of early adopters have been announced as well, particularly, Ansys, Arm, ETH Zurich, Fujitsu, Keysight, Nokia, Northeastern University, Rohde & Schwarz, Samsung, SoftBank Corp., and Viavi.
The platform will be targeting 3 fundamental aspects:- NVIDIA Aerial Omniverse Digital Twin for 6G: A development sample that fully simulates a complete 6G system with software-defined RAN and user equipment deployed across realistic terrain and objects
- NVIDIA Aerial CUDA-Accelerated RAN: Allows acceleration of 6G networks in real-time through transmission efficiency improvements and customization
- NVIDIA Sionna Neural Radio Framework: A base framework that connects seamlessly with PyTorch and TensorFlow which in turn is supported by NVIDIA GPUs for data generation, capture, and training; Leading link-level research tool for AI/ML-based wireless simulations NVIDIA Sionna is also included.
