InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDCC) a mobile and video technology
research and development company, today announced its involvement
in two significant next-generation wireless technology
demonstrations at the European Conference on Network and
Communications (EUCNC) event this week. The demonstrations
highlight specific application use cases for 5G network resource
slicing to meet URLLC and eMBB goals, and ultra-high throughput
encoder and decoder solutions for various beyond 5G use cases.
In the first demonstration, InterDigital will
show how the H2020 5G-CORAL architecture – a distributed and
virtualized computing hierarchy deployed using dense low-cost fog
nodes – can be used to support simultaneous 5G slices for a remote
robotic control and actuation application based on adaptive
360-degree video technology.
With each element requiring different
connectivity performances, one slice is dedicated to the 360-degree
adaptive video stream, across three tiers – low, medium and high –
of computing nodes, answering the bandwidth requirements specified
for eMBB profiles. A second slice is dedicated to the remote
robotic control and actuation application in near real-time based
on the 360-degree adaptive video stream, answering the latency
requirements specified for URLLC profiles.
The demonstration also shows how the eMBB and
URLLC slices can be automatically provisioned and controlled, using
the SDN/NFV-based 5G Mobile Transport and Computing Platform (MTP)
developed in the H2020 5G-Public Private Partnership
(5G-PPP) 5G-TRANSFORMER project, and specifically for service
orchestration and vertical slicing. These are enabled by “Fog05”,
or Fog Operating System, developed by The Eclipse Foundation, which
provides a virtualized infrastructure that distributes computing,
storage, control and networking functions closer to the users.
In the second demonstration, the EU EPIC
consortium, composed of world-leading inventors, academics, and
industry members including InterDigital, will highlight its
substantial progress in solving the ultra-high throughput encoder
and decoder challenges for beyond-5G wireless systems. Solving
these challenges represents an important step towards the
anticipated data-rate requirements in 6G technology, which is
likely to operate in the Terahertz bands and offer
Terabits-per-second data rates.The consortium is showcasing a
first-in-class 100Gb/s end-to-end length-1024 Polar codes and
ultra-high throughput LDPC-CC codes on FPGA platforms. These
encoder and decoder forward-error-correction IP solutions represent
superior performance trade-offs in terms of power consumption, data
rates, and latency, which will be critical for extremely diverse
use-cases in beyond-5G systems, such as Ultra-HD virtual reality,
immersive applications, and haptic communications.
“Great progress has been made towards 5G goals,
but the success of our industry relies on constant evolution and
collaboration. Whether it’s driverless cars, or drone delivery
systems, we are only just beginning to imagine the possibilities
that lie ahead, but it’s clear that many of them will have
technology requirements that lie beyond 5G,” said Alan Carlton, VP
R&D, InterDigital. “These demonstrations at EUCNC – and others
like them – are critical in showcasing the progress the industry is
making, and InterDigital continues to play a key role by
contributing wireless technology intellectual property and
co-ordination.”
In November last year, InterDigital and other
members of the 5G-CORAL consortium conducted their first 5G trial
at Global Mall Nangang Station Store in Taipei, Taiwan. The
trial was significant in demonstrating how 5G can effectively work
across a modern end-to-end network deployment -- from the cloud
down to the extreme network edge -- to advance the next generation
of connected services. The trial demonstrated several applications
such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and edge cloud
robotics delivered in a real-world environment over the 5G-CORAL
integrated fog and edge virtualized radio access network solution.
The series of demos exhibited how 5G can effectively work across
multiple tiers of virtualized and distributed computing.
