Apr 30, 2024 by Sujata 0 Comments #5.5G, #Huawei, #RAN

[Shenzhen, China, April 30, 2024] During the 2024 Huawei Analyst Summit, Huawei launched its game-changing RAN Intelligent Agents. The RAN Intelligent Agents introduce a set of telecom foundation model, RAN digital twins system (RDTS), and intelligent computing power to empower 5.5G with intelligence, according to Eric Zhao, Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Huawei Wireless Network, highlighting that the RAN Intelligent Agents will reshape the O&M process, network experience, and service model to help global operators achieve a leap in network productivity in the 5.5G era.

After three years of industry development, 5.5G has become reality and made debut worldwide. In the foreseeable future, standard enhancement will give 5.5G greater vitality and 5.5G will support more services to broaden its business space. In return, 5.5G networks will continue to improve in three aspects. That is, every hertz of the abundant 5.5G spectrum will be efficiently utilized, every watt will be efficiently leveraged to improve 5.5G network energy efficiency, and more importantly, every byte will be efficiently managed to upgrade wireless networks from automated to intelligent.

RAN Intelligent Agents enable wireless networks to maximize the potential of the rapidly developing prowess of artificial intelligence. A set of RAN Intelligent Agents consists of a telecom foundation model, RDTS, and intelligent computing power. The telecom foundation model is trained on massive wireless network product knowledge and O&M experience to support the policy analysis and decision making of wireless networks. The RDTS implements a multi-dimensional representation of physical networks in real time to provide accurate network prediction for the RAN Intelligent Agents. The intelligent computing power provides centralized or distributed computing support for the RAN Intelligent Agents.

5.5G has to deliver diverse services that require various coverage, capacity, and latency. The imminent 100-fold data traffic growth will place mobile networks under tremendous pressure of energy consumption. The RAN Intelligent Agents support intent-driven interaction, all-domain sensing and prediction, multi-objective analysis and decision-making, and scenario-based self-learning. These four revolutionary features will enable 5.5G networks to become more productive, reshaping network O&M, experience, and service models.

First, reshape O&M process. The RAN Intelligent Agents leverage the specialized knowledge and experience of the telecom foundation model to quickly provide engineers with problem-solving strategies. This allows O&M to move away from time-consuming, inefficient multi-department coordination to significantly improve efficiency. During troubleshooting, the RAN Intelligent Agents associate a large number of historical cases to help quickly locate the root cause and generate rectification measures. As such, the entire process can be shortened from over four hours to just one hour.

Second, reshape network experience. Traditional single-objective optimization encounters limitations in meeting the diverse requirements of user experience. The RAN Intelligent Agents conduct multi-objective optimization to effectively balance network indicators and deliver optimal user experience network-wide. To optimize network energy efficiency, for instance, the RAN Intelligent Agents harness high-dimensional modeling to create a digital twin environment. In this environment, thousands of rounds of virtual iterations are carried out in mere minutes. This rapid process assists customers in swiftly pinpointing solutions that excel in both energy saving and user experience.

Finally, reshape service models. The traditional service provisioning process includes reservation, evaluation, and verification, which is too slow to address the dynamic user requirements in the 5.5G era. The RAN Intelligent Agents incorporate online real-time service evaluation that assists operators in achieving immediate service provisioning, thereby significantly enhancing the user experience. For example, during fixed wireless access (FWA) service provisioning, the RAN Intelligent Agents facilitate the online evaluation of various experience metrics including coverage, latency, and capacity. This enables on-demand service provisioning, drastically shortening the service provisioning period from 2–3 weeks to a mere 1 day.

In his concluding remarks, Eric Zhao called on to illuminate 5.5G with intelligence and embrace a future of digital intelligence together. He emphasized that the RAN Intelligent Agents, bolstered by the telecom foundation model, RDTS, and intelligent computing power, will undergo relentless evolution to enhance their capabilities and functions. Through operators’ continuous management and optimization, this remarkable innovation will deliver even greater benefits to operators. Huawei believes that the RAN Intelligent Agents are poised to spearhead the communications industry into an unprecedented era of intelligence.

Huawei Announces New Inventions That Will Revolutionize AI, 5G, and User Experience

Jun 8, 2022 by Praveen 0 Comments #5G, #AI, #Huawei, #User Experience

Huawei announced a batch of key inventions as part of its biennial “Top Ten Inventions” Awards at the “Broadening the Innovation Landscape 2022” forum held at its Shenzhen headquarters. The award is designed to recognize inventions that could create new series of products, become important commercial features of existing products, or that generate considerable value for the company and the industry.

The awarded inventions range from an adder neural network that significantly reduces power consumption and circuit area to a game-changing “optical iris” that provides a unique identifier for optical fibers. It is designed to help carriers manage their network resources, cutting time and costs associated with broadband deployment.

The announcement came in the context of intellectual property rights, the protection and sharing of which Huawei believes is critical to the tech ecosystem.

“Protecting IP is key to protecting innovation,” said Huawei’s Chief Legal Officer, Song Liuping. “We are eager to license our patents and technologies to share our innovations with the world. This will help broaden the innovation landscape, drive our industry forward, and advance technology for everyone,” he added.

“Huawei is constantly changing itself, and constantly showcasing to the world the value of IP from China,” said Tian Lipu, President of the International Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property’s China Chapter.

By the end of 2021, Huawei held more than 110,000 active patents across over 45,000 patent families. It has more granted patents than any other Chinese company, has filed the most patent applications with the EU Patent Office, and ranked fifth in terms of new patents granted in the United States. For five straight years, Huawei has ranked No. 1 worldwide in terms of Patent Cooperation Treaty applications.

Alan Fan, Head of Huawei’s IPR Department, said the value of Huawei patents has seen wide recognition in the industry, especially in mainstream standards such as cellular technology, Wi-Fi, and audio/video codecs.

“In the past five years, more than two billion smartphones have been licensed to Huawei’s 4G/5G patents. And for cars, about eight million connected vehicles licensed to Huawei patents are being delivered to the consumers every year,” Fan said.

Huawei is also working actively with patent license administration companies in offering “one-stop” licenses for mainstream standards.

“Over 260 companies—accounting for one billion devices—have obtained Huawei’s HEVC patent licenses through a patent pool,” Fan said. He added that the company is in discussions to establish a new patent pool to give the industry “quick access” to Huawei’s patents for Wi-Fi devices worldwide.

Huawei is also discussing joint licensing programs for 5G patents with licensing experts and other leading industry patentees.

Liu Hua, Director of World Intellectual Property Organization Office in China, praised Huawei’s sustained focus on innovation, saying: “We look forward to seeing Huawei continue to take part in high-level global competition with innovation at its core.”

For Manuel Desantes, former Vice President of European Patent Office, given the vast number of changes in the world these days, what matters most is no longer the number of registered patents or inventions. “The IP system should assure that the creations that merit protection are those that bring actual value,” he said.

This marked the third innovation and IP-themed event Huawei has hosted on its innovation practices. Every year, Huawei invests over 10% of its sales revenue into R&D.

In terms of R&D expenditure, Huawei ranked second in the 2021 EU Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard. In 2021, the company increased its R&D investment to CNY142.7 billion, representing 22.4% of our total revenue. Over the past decade, Huawei’s total R&D investment surpassed CNY845 billion.
