InterDigital Joins European and Taiwanese Consortium to Deliver a 5G Converged Radio Access Network Living at the Edge
January 29 2018 - 4:00AM
InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDCC), a mobile technology research and
development company, today announced that InterDigital Europe has
joined efforts with a consortium of partners in Europe and Taiwan
to deliver a 5G converged Radio Access Network living at the edge.
The consortium, 5G-CORAL, aims at delivering a converged 5G
multi-RAT access through an integrated virtualized edge and fog
solution that is flexible, scalable, and interoperable with other
domains including transport (fronthaul, backhaul), core and clouds.
The consortium comprises 10 partners, including InterDigital
Europe, Ericsson AB, Telecom Italia, Industrial Technology Research
Institute Incorporated, ADLINK, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid,
SICS Swedish ICT AB, Azcom Technology, National Chiao Tung
University, and Telcaria Ideas. This 24-month project, which
started September 1, 2017, received a total of 4M€ in funding –
2.5M from the European Commission and 1.5M from the Ministry of
Economic Affairs in Taiwan.
InterDigital Europe occupies a lead role in the project as the
Technical Manager. This project role underscores the importance of
the company’s focus on wireless innovation and commitment to
deliver technologies and solutions that benefit the entire industry
across all regions. InterDigital has been at the forefront of
multiple generations of core wireless R&D, from 2G, 2.5G, 3G to
4G/LTE and LTE-A, and now 5G.
“InterDigital Europe is honored to be a part of this pioneering
project that will provide the foundation for the realization of
edge and fog intelligence in the 5G era,” said Alan Carlton, Vice
President, InterDigital Europe.
The 5G-CORAL project leverages on the pervasiveness of edge and
fog computing in the Radio Access Network (RAN) to create a unique
opportunity for access convergence. This is envisioned by the means
of an integrated and virtualized networking and computing solution
where virtualized functions, context-aware services, and user and
third-party applications are blended together to offer enhanced
connectivity and better quality of experience.
The 5G-CORAL project will conduct trials throughout 2018 and
2019 across three testbeds: a shopping mall near Taipei in Taiwan,
which also includes a high-speed rail station; connected car
testbeds in Torrino, Italy; and at the Industrial Technology
Research Institute in Hsinchu, Taiwan.
