AI adoption in 5G networks - Whitepaper
Communications service providers (CSPs) strive for relentless efficiency, business agility to address new revenue opportunities, and to meet or exceed customer expectations through a superior experience. This continues with the introduction of 5G programmable networks, [1] which enable new revenue-creating opportunities through both enhanced user experience as well as the tailoring of telecommunications networks to provide differential services for both existing and new types of enterprise customers (e.g Industry 4.0, Automotives, Fixed Wireless etc) . The introduction of new technologies as well as additional services for customers, the densification of networks to support macro and micro coverage, and the need to ensure services with differing requirements significantly increases the complexity. Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have already matured to the point where CSPs have been applying them to their networks, often starting with non-time-critical processes, and are now applying them to the sensitive parts of their networks that directly impact user experience. The increased complexity of networks due to more services, new network technologies, and massive network densification further necessitates the application of AI in telecommunications networks as operations become more complex.
Artificial Intelligence: The Next Generation Anti-Corruption Technology
Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be a useful weapon in the fight against corruption. Its capacity to handle huge data is unrivaled, as is its ability to spot abnormalities or trends, such as in financial transaction data. Some of the ways AI is used in society have skeptics, who fear a society that is more monitored, putting privacy and individual freedom in danger. Let's get into the topic in more detail. Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to technologies that allow machines to simulate human intelligence in order to tackle complicated issues.
Could 2021 be the year for technology? Here are some trends to watch out for
The icing on the cake is that the action takes place in the PUBG universe. Some of the most exciting inventions in TV will be in 2021. LG has hinted at ditching the E-Series OLED and bringing in Gallery Series. On the other hand, Samsung might unveil a rotating Sero TV. This year will be bigger and mightier with TV screens measuring above 75-inch becoming mainstream.
Derq moves into Qualcomm Smart Cities Accelerator Program
Detroit-based startup Derq recently announced it would join the Qualcomm Smart Cities Accelerator Program. The program connects an ecosystem of smart city providers with cities, municipalities, government agencies, and enterprises to accelerate the transformation of city infrastructure and services. Derq started life as an MIT-spinoff and brings its artificial intelligence (AI) analytics platform with the goal of making cities smarter and safer for all road users and enabling the deployment of autonomous vehicles at scale. Derq now has live deployments in the USA, Europe, and the UAE. According to a 2018 World Health Organization study, there are an estimated 1.35 million traffic fatalities every year due to largely preventable crashes.

EdgeQ samples SoC for 5G and AI inference engines
A new GamesBeat event is around the corner! Learn more about what comes next. EdgeQ revealed today it has begun sampling a 5G base station-on-a-chip that allows AI inference engines to run at the network edge. The goal is to make it less costly to build enterprise-grade 5G access points, as well as radio units and distributed units that make up an open radio access network. The choice EdgeQ made to create a base station that can be deployed as a system-on-chip (SOC) platform also reduces the time and effort providers of wireless networks need to create physical layer software that governs all the essential protocols and features of an integrated 4G/5G network, said EdgeQ CEO Vinay Ravuri. At the core of the product, simply named EdgeQ 5G Base Station-on-a-Chip, is a specialized baseband processor RISC-V ISA that EdgeQ created by extending an open source RISC-V Open Instruction Set with more than 50 custom instructions.
Cooperative Localization Utilizing Reinforcement Learning for 5G Networks
Kia, Ghazaleh, Ruotsalainen, Laura
The demand for accurate localization has risen in recent years to enable the emerging of autonomous vehicles. To have these vehicles in the traffic ecosystem of smart cities, the need for an accurate positioning system is emphasized. To realize accurate positioning, collaborative localization plays an important role. This type of localization computes range measurements between vehicles and improves the accuracy of position by correcting the possibly faulty values of one of them by using the more accurate values of the other. 5G signals with the technology of Millimeter Wave (mmWave) support precise range measurements and 5G networks provide Device to Device (D2D) communication which improves collaborative localization. The aim of this paper is to provide an accurate collaborative positioning for autonomous vehicles, which is less prone to errors utilizing reinforcement learning technique for selecting the most accurate and suitable range measurement technique for the 5G signal.
ASUS updates its ROG Phone series with Qualcomm's newest mobile processor
ASUS is updating its range of ROG gaming phones at a fast clip to keep up with the latest processor advancements. The new ROG Phone 5S and 5S Pro, the fifth and latest additions to the high-end lineup, pack Qualcomm's fresh Snapdragon 888 5G chipset, a beefed-up version of the base 888 found inside predecessor, the ROG Phone 5. It's not the first phone to get the processor, though. That accolade went to the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4. In fact, we knew the 888 was coming to the ROG phone: Qualcomm listed ASUS' gaming handset as a partner earlier this summer, along with devices from Vivo, Honor and Motorola. The processor itself promises a clock speed boost from a peak 2.86GHz to nearly 3GHz courtesy of its Kryo 680 CPU architecture. It also boasts a 20 percent AI improvement with up to 32 TOPS AI performance.
Qualcomm readies 5G and AI drone platform
The Transform Technology Summits start October 13th with Low-Code/No Code: Enabling Enterprise Agility. Qualcomm is unveiling its platform that enables aerial drones to tap both 5G and AI technologies. The Qualcomm Flight RB5 5G platform aims to accelerate development for commercial, enterprise, and industrial drones to help enterprises capture data from drone cameras and process that data at the edge of the network. The platform is powered by Qualcomm's QRB5165 processor, and it builds upon the company's latest internet of things (IoT) offerings. The idea is to enable a new generation of low-power 5G drones that can capture a lot of data with cameras and transmit that data via 5G to an operator or send it longer distances over a network.
OPPO Unveils 6G White Paper and Distinctive Next-Generation Communications Vision globally including the MENA region
Global technology company OPPO announced that the OPPO Research Institute has officially released its first 6G white paper - "6G AI-Cube Intelligent Networking". As one of the global and MENA region's telecommunications industry's first in-depth reports on how artificial intelligence (AI) can empower 6G network architecture, the white paper proposes a more detailed vision for the design of next-generation communication networks. OPPO has established a pre-research team to conduct preliminary research on 6G service and technology requirements, key technologies, and system features. The global smartphone leader believes that 6G will reshape the way people interact with AI, as it is utilised to serve the public through a myriad of applications. In June 2021, UAE telecoms provider Etisalat announced plans for 6G – stating that the network is expected to be even faster and support applications such as augmented and virtual reality, as well as AI infrastructure.
