NSF Convergence Accelerator
Phase 2 Timeline
INDIGO provided a demonstration of O1 Simulation capabilities in the context of OpenRAN at Fyuz 2023.
Engaged with tech leaders and innovators and NYC high school students to collect input from stakeholders and end users at the Next Gen Tech conference hosted by Silicon Harlem
At the O-RAN face-to-face meeting in Phoenix our version of the SDN Controller (ONAP SDN-R) was part of the OAI demonstration for O1 interfacing. Configuration Management, Fault Management and Performance Management could be demonstrated consuming the OAI O1 Provider interface.
INDIGO team members led the tutorial on to educate on 5G Operate through standardized technologies in cooperating operator environments.
L 2 5GC+ re-designs the shared-memory-based networking stack to support synchronous I/O between control plane functions. L 2 5GC+ distinguishes different user sessions and maintains strict 3GPP compliance. L 2 5GC+ also offers seamless integration with existing 5GC microservice implementations through equivalent SBI APIs, reducing code refactoring and porting efforts. By leveraging shared memory I/O and overcoming L 2 5GC’s limitations, L 2 5GC+ provides an improved solution to optimize the 5G control plane, enhancing latency, scalability, and overall user experience. We demonstrate the improved performance of L 2 5GC+ on a 5G testbed with commercial basestations and multiple UEs.
“An Introduction to Planning in Artificial Intelligence” by Oikonomu (Rutgers WINLAB) to clarify AI planning as distinct from machine learning and to describe INDIGO’s AI planner as a “white box”, or an explainable AI system, guided by human knowledge and expertise.
AT&T and the COSMOS Lab hosted researchers from a number of O-RAN Alliance member technology vendors, in conjunction with partner labs NYU Wireless, POWDER Lab, UNH-IOL, and co-host Verizon.
- Seven O-RAN member companies, Actiontec, Fujitsu, NI, Radisys, Spirent, VIAVI, and VVDN focused testing on: energy savings through the RIC & rApp, O-RU performance testing, and open fronthaul interoperability.
- Additionally, a number of open source integration and interoperability demonstrations were completed, with components included from O-RAN Alliance Software Community projects.
by Ramakrishnan and team in IEEE Communications MagazineWith cloud computing moving closer to the edge, there are various ways to handle complex computations. These range from doing. all the processing on the device itself to moving everything to the cloud, with each option depending differently on the communication link. In our work, we explore different architectural options for multi-user augmented reality (AR) localization and their suitability for key scenarios like entertainment, autonomous vehicles, and medicine, which have different needs for speed and accuracy. We present our recent solution, SLAM-Share, which combines edge and cloud computing, and examine how well it handles delays in communication.
Keynote presentation: “AI-enabled multi-operator orchestration for resilience, security, and QoE during crisis situations”
Silicon Harlem hosted a networking event on January 18, 2024, providing NYC residents with the opportunity to learn more about joining the 5G workforce. Attendees include Jodia Vanel, a Federal Program Officer from the NTIA’s New York branch.
The team completed a series of 8 visits to NYC public high schools to inform the creation of 5G educational toolkits for students and workforce development.
An additional workshop for the development and demonstration of curriculum for the COSMOS toolkit was conducted on Feb. 2, 2024 with 15 NYC public school teachers
INDIGO team members took part in the O-RAN Alliance Face to Face meetings in Athens, Greece. INDIGO team members engaged with US and international mobile network operators, making the needed introductions to begin working on memorandums of understanding to allow for multi-operator resource pooling with mobile network operators.
INDIGO team members took part in the Mobile World Conference trade conference in Barcelona, Spain. MWC is a yearly trade conference organized by the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA).
“Authentic xApp and rApp demonstrations to showcase the current state of Open RAN RIC xApps and rApps”. INDIGO PI van Brakle and partners (AT&T) were selected to demonstrate the following RIC apps and their use cases at joint NTIA/DoD event in Dallas, Texas: Advanced Traffic Steering (ATS) xApp; Energy Saving: ES xApp; Application Aware RAN: AAR xApp.
Began collaboration with Idaho National Laboratory for prototype testing and evaluation.
Prototype demonstration and user feedback discussion with OUSD FutureG Office and NTIA IT
INDIGO presented as part of a panel on challenges in cybersecurity at this Ku Lueven workshop focusing on collaborative research in cybersecurity between US and EU institutions.
