InterDigital Announces Participation in New 5G-CLARITY Project for Future Private Networks
January 24 2020 - 4:00AM
InterDigital Inc. (NASDAQ:IDCC), a mobile and video technology
research and development company, today announced that its
subsidiary, InterDigital Europe, Ltd., will participate in the
5G-CLARITY project, a joint effort with a consortium of partners in
Europe to develop automated solutions powered by artificial
intelligence for beyond 5G private networks. The project integrates
multiple wireless access technologies and their evolutions from
3GPP 5G New Radio, IEEE 802.11 WiFi, and IEEE 802.11 LiFi.
The 5G-CLARITY project is comprised of 12 partners, including
InterDigital Europe, Ericsson LMI, Telefonica, IHP
(Leibniz-Institut für innovative Mikroelektronik), Accelleran,
Bosch, i2CAT (Fundació Privada Internet i Innovació Digital a
Catalunya), pureLifi, University of Edinburgh, University of
Bristol, University of Granada, and Gigasys Solutions. The 30-month
project, which began November 1, 2019, has received a total of
€5.75M in funding from the European Commission.
InterDigital Europe holds a leadership role in the project as
leader of the Standardization and Dissemination Working Group,
overseeing the dissemination of the project into key
standardization development organizations and industry forums,
including 3GPP, IEEE 802.11, ETSI, ITU-T, O-RAN, and 5GACIA. This
role underscores the importance of InterDigital’s focus on wireless
innovation and its fusion with artificial intelligence, as well as
InterDigital’s commitment to deliver technologies that benefit the
entire wireless industry for public and non-public networks based
on 3GPP and IEEE 802.11 standards.
“InterDigital Europe is honored to be a part of this pioneering
project that will lay the foundations for smart multi-access
private networks in the 5G and beyond era,” said Alain Mourad,
Director Engineering R&D at InterDigital Europe.
The solutions targeted by the 5G-CLARITY project are focused on
three main innovation pillars: 1) evolutions of current 3GPP 5G NR
towards enhancements of non-public networks in future 3GPP
releases; 2) seamless integration of 5G NR and its evolution with
the IEEE 802.11 technologies, including WiFi and LiFi; and 3)
incorporation of artificial intelligence techniques for
self-organization and autonomic management of the multi-access
private network.
These innovations target significant performance improvements,
including downlink user experienced data rates above 1 Gbps, air
interface latency below 1ms for uplink and downlink, reliability
above six 9s, positioning accuracy below 1cm at peak, and
synchronization to nano-seconds level.
The solutions will be demonstrated and trialed in two private
network testbeds, including a smart factory environment by Bosch
near Barcelona, Spain and a museum environment by 5GUK in Bristol,
United Kingdom.
