Dynamic Edge Management: Ericsson’s 6G Networks Rely on AI and Compute Research for Efficient Compute Offload
Ericsson and IIT Kharagpur have established a long-term collaboration for joint research in AI, Compute, and Radio, supported by two milestone agreements. These agreements enable researchers to collaborate on innovative AI and distributed compute technologies for 6G research. A symposium at GSSST brought leaders from Ericsson Research and IIT Kharagpur together to discuss future developments in networks and communication.
AI and Compute Research is instrumental to Ericsson’s 6G networks as the compute offload needs to be managed dynamically at edge and the policies would primarily be driven by AI. These themes of research are well aligned with IIT Kharagpur and both organizations view this partnership as a way to push the boundaries of fundamental and applied research in the Radio domain.
“In the commitment towards Digital India and making India the hub of technological innovation, this collaboration with Ericsson will be effective for next-generation technology significantly.”
