InterDigital To Showcase 5G Experimentation Platforms At Brooklyn 5G Summit
April 23 2019 - 8:30AM
InterDigital (NASDAQ: IDCC), a mobile technology research and
development company, will be showcasing two platforms that are
spearheading development for 5G technologies at the Brooklyn 5G
Summit 2019, which takes place April 23-26 at the NYU Tandon School
of Engineering. InterDigital’s AdvantEDGE and 5G New Radio (NR)
28GHz platforms are open, customizable research testbeds that help
designers and developers prototype and experiment technologies
integral to the future of 5G.
InterDigital’s AdvantEDGE is a mobile edge emulation platform.
It enables edge network and application developers to prototype,
experiment and validate edge applications and services in an agile
environment. By mimicking network characteristics, including
latency, packet loss and throughput, across distant cloud, edge and
terminals, developers can analyze the placement and associated
latencies of services and applications in the 5G edge network.
The demonstration of AdvantEDGE at the Brooklyn 5G Summit will
showcase an autonomous drone system operating in a dense urban
environment, where buildings and other obstacles can block sensors
and prohibit safe operation. By deploying an Edge Collaborative
Collision Detection and Avoidance (DAA) service at the ‘extreme
edge’ of the network, airspace collision points can be computed in
order to issue resolution advisories, which result in the drones
avoiding hazards.
InterDigital will also be showcasing its 5G NR 28GHz platform.
This platform is designed for researchers by using Software Defined
Radio (SDR) techniques and a small form factor two-unit
configuration. The platform consists of an outdoor ready, 64
element array mast head with beamforming capability and an SDR
processing unit. The PHY has been designed with standardized API
between PHY and MAC allowing for collaborations with third party
Layer 2 and 3 software protocol stacks, such as OpenAirInterface™.
A live demonstration at the summit will showcase an over-the-air 5G
NR 28GHz beam-steering radio connection with real-time metric
reporting capabilities to aid researchers.
“As a research company, InterDigital is in a unique position to
deliver hardware and software platforms that are designed
specifically to be used by research partners. With 5G deployment,
this is even more important: 5G opens the door to new application
types and use cases, and it’s important for the industry to have
platforms and environments where they can experiment with current
and future 5G technologies and services and develop those
capabilities,” said Douglas Castor, Senior Director at
InterDigital. “Both the AdvantEDGE and 5G NR 28GHz platforms help
to advance the delivery of services that rely on ultra-low latency.
Our demonstrations at the Brooklyn 5G Summit will show how our
platforms are acting as catalysts for innovation that brings the
industry closer to the reality of the 5G experience.”
InterDigital has played an instrumental role in the development
of multiple generations of wireless technologies, from 2G to 3G, 4G
and now, in the development of 5G. It participates in 5G research
testbeds across the globe, including European Horizon 2020 projects
and the National Science Foundation’s Platform for Advanced
Wireless Research (PAWR), where it is a founding member.
