EdgeRIC: Delivering Real-time Intelligence to Radio Access Networks

EdgeRIC is a platform for real-time AI-in-the-loop for decision and control in cellular networks. It is designed to access network and application-level information to execute AI-optimized and other policies in real-time (sub-millisecond) .

EdgeRIC Focus Areas

Demo Videos

Anti Jamming with BeamArmor

Controlling the MIMO weights in realtime to steer the beam null in the direction of jammer

System Performance Optimization with AI based scheduling

Controlling the scheduling decision with a Reinforcement Learning based policy that was trained to maximize the overall system throughput observed

Multi-site Management with EdgeRIC and Near-RT RIC

Interference Aware Resource Distribution across sites
