AI-Enabled Open RAN for Beam Management

Mavenir has integrated Intel’s AI model for beam management and Intel FlexRAN™ reference software with Mavenir's commercial mMIMO vDU software to deliver enhanced network performance and user experience. Intel's RAN AI model, trained on 3GPP channel model datasets, optimizes beam weights and number of layers to maximize each UE’s throughput.  This talk will present the combined Mavenir and Intel solution that is designed to improve performance in challenging radio environments, such as cell edges and high-rise building scenarios, and is applicable for both TDD and FDD deployments.
