December 07 2018 - 5:01AM
Press Release
- Companies work together to optimize 5G networks using open
radio access network interfaces and mix of centralized and
decentralized Cloud RAN architecture
- Will enable operators to more easily access intelligence from
multi-vendor networks to power data analytics, machine learning and
also boost service performance
- Agreement further demonstrates Nokia's commitment to open
architecture development
7 December 2018
Espoo, Finland - Nokia and China Mobile Research Institute
have signed an agreement under which the companies will jointly
optimize 5G networks using a more open architecture. Nokia will
work closely with China Mobile Research Institute to simplify
interoperability between multi-vendor radio access network (RAN)
technologies and enable new levels of service performance for
customers.Under the agreement, signed at the China Mobile 2018
Partner Summit, Nokia and China Mobile Research Institute will
investigate O-RAN use-cases, optimizing 5G networks to manage a
growing array of service needs including:
- Decentralized (CU/DU) split multi-vendor cloud RAN
architecture, using real-time and non-real time processing
capabilities
- Jointly specifying open radio access network interfaces between
multi-vendor components, such as the fronthaul interface connecting
the split cloud RAN architecture
- Smart Radio Intelligence control using advanced network
analytics
- Commercial off-the-shelf hardware equipment
Nokia embraces a culture of openness and collaboration using
open API common interfaces and toolkits to allow customers such as
China Mobile Research Institute to access and benefit from network
artificial intelligence, machine learning and real-time analytics
to optimize network performance.
The companies will share the findings through a series of O-RAN
working groups, conducting analysis, studies and
demonstrations.
Zhiqiang Yang, Vice President of China Mobile Research
Institute said: "China Mobile Research Institute and Nokia
share the goal of driving new levels of openness in network
architecture. By optimizing multi-vendor network interworking we
will be able to access network intelligence and use end-to-end data
analytics and machine learning to support the delivery of
innovative new consumer and industry services in the 5G
world."Tommi Uitto, president of Mobile Networks at Nokia,
said: "We are excited to work with China Mobile Research
Institute to realize the company's goals. It reflects our
capabilities in end-to-end network technology and the work we are
already doing as we build-in openness across our 5G Future X
architecture. 5G will enable new use-cases with a wide variety of
service level requirements. An optimized and open end-to-end
network will enable the levels of automation and artificial
intelligence for the network to support with high-performance any
demands placed on it."
