PURPOSE: THIS PROJECT TAKES DEEPSIG'S COMMERCIAL OMNISIG SENSING SOFTWARE AND ADAPTS AND INTEGRATES JABIL'S PRODUCTION READY O-RU OPERATING SYSTEM. THE PROJECT FILLS A CRITICAL GAP IN THE APPLICATION OF AI/ML TECHNIQUES WHICH WILL IMPROVE THE ABILITY OF USING OPEN RUS FOR SPECTRUM SENSING TO SUPPORT FUTURE SPECTRUM SHARING CAPABILITIES. COMMERCIAL RADIO ACCESS NETWORK (RAN) PRODUCTS ARE THE PRIMARY BENEFICIARIES OF THIS DEVELOPMENT.ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: THIS APPLICATION SEEKS TO DEVELOP ADVANTAGES OF AI ENABLED WIDEBAND SPECTRUM SENSING, ENHANCE SPECTRUM SHARING, INTERFERENCE MANAGEMENT, SECURITY, AND MONITORING. DEEPSIG WILL EMBED OMNISIG-ENABLED SENSING CAPABILITY INTO AMD FPGAS USED BY JABIL RUS. EXPECTED OUTCOMES: THE PROJECT FILLS A CRITICAL GAP IN THE APPLICATION OF AI/ML TECHNIQUES WHICH WILL IMPROVE THE ABILITY OF USING OPEN RUS FOR SPECTRUM SENSING TO SUPPORT FUTURE SPECTRUM SHARING CAPABILITIES. INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: COMMERCIAL RADIO ACCESS NETWORK (RAN) PRODUCTS.SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: WARREN DESIGN WILL PROVIDE SYSTEM, HARDWARE, AND SOFTWARE DESIGN ENGINEERING AND PERFORM TESTING AT THE MODULE, UNIT, AND SYSTEM LEVEL TO ENSURE PERFORMANCE IN LINE WITH SYSTEM DESIGN AND SIMULATIONS.

PURPOSE: THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS ADVANCING THE RAPID GROWTH AND DEPLOYMENT OF MASSIVE MULTIPLE INPUT, MULTIPLE OUTPUT (MMIMO) OPEN RADIO UNITS (O-RUS) INTO CURRENT AND FUTURE NETWORKS. ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: MULTIPLE TRADES WILL BE STUDIED TO DETERMINE HOW NETWORK BEAMFORMING (NBF) WILL BE IMPLEMENTED WHILE KEEPING THE O-RU PERFORMANCE WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEMONSTRATION OF NBF WILL BE DETERMINED, SPECIFICALLY, DETAILS ON CHANNEL ESTIMATION, BEAMFORMING WEIGHT CALCULATION AND EQUALIZATION AS WELL AS FRONTHAUL REQUIREMENTS WILL BE STUDIED. ADDITIONALLY, THE DEEPSIG OMNIPHY NEURAL RECEIVER WILL BE PORTED TO OPERATE ON REFERENCE HARDWARE PROVIDED BY QUALCOMM AND FUJITSU. EXPECTED OUTCOMES: THE RESULT OF THIS PROGRAM WILL BE A PROTOTYPE MANUFACTURING READINESS LEVEL (MRL) 4) WITH THE MANUFACTURING RISK THAT HARDWARE CHANGES COULD BE REQUIRED TO PROCESS ALL MMIMO LAYERS. DEEPSIG, FUJITSU, AND QUALCOMM ARE ALL COMMERCIALLY FOCUSED AND HAVE THE RESOURCES TO RAPIDLY TRANSITION RESEARCH TO COMMERCIAL O-RUS. THE PROJECT ENABLES O-RU AND CHIPSET VENDORS TO IMPLEMENT ADVANCED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) FUNCTIONS TO ENGENDER A HEALTHY AND COST COMPETITIVE MMIMO O-RU ECOSYSTEM. ADDITIONALLY, DEEPSIG EXPECTS THIS WORK TO MAKE AI ENHANCEMENTS AVAILABLE INDUSTRYWIDE. INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: DEEPSIG WILL COLLABORATE WITH PROJECT PARTNERS AND OTHERS IN ORAN AND 3GPP STANDARDIZATION EFFORTS TO MAKE AI/MACHINE LEARNING (ML) ENHANCEMENTS AVAILABLE INDUSTRYWIDE. STANDARDIZATION WILL ENABLE MORE VENDORS TO OPERATE IN THE TELECOM SPACE AND SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS EFFORTS. SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: DEEPSIG DOES NOT LIST ANY SUBRECIPIENTS IN THEIR APPLICATION.

PURPOSE: DEEPSIG INC. WILL CONDUCT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECT TO DRAMATICALLY IMPROVE THE FIDELITY, SPEED, AND REPEATABILITY OF OPEN RAN AIR-INTERFACE PERFORMANCE TESTING BY EMPLOYING DATA AND AI TO MORE ACCURATELY AND EFFICIENTLY MODEL THE PROPAGATION AND INTERFERENCE ENVIRONMENT USING REAL-WORLD MEASUREMENTS OF 4G AND 5G SIGNALS FROM STATIONARY AND MOBILE SENSORS. ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED:- DEVELOP A DATASET OF OPEN RAN STANDARD INTERFACE DATA AND TEST CASES REFLECTING A RANGE OF DIFFERENT OPEN RAN SENSING SCENARIOS AND USE CASES AND DEVELOP CORE KPI'S AND PERFORMANCE METRICS WHICH REFLECT THE PERFORMANCE OF A SENSING COMPONENT ON EACH OF THESE TEST VECTORS;- DEVELOP T&E TOOLS FOR THE BROAD EVALUATION OF OPEN RAN COMPLIANT SENSING CAPABILITIES;- DEMONSTRATE INTEROPERABILITY SHOWING T&E FUNCTIONALITY ON MULTIPLE VENDORS, O-RUS;- ENGAGE WITH STANDARDS BODIES AND PARTNERS IN ORDER TO GAIN BROADER ADOPTION.EXPECTED OUTCOMES: THIS PROJECT WILL CREATE A NEW SET OF STANDARD O-RAN INTERFACE PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT TOOLS AND SCENARIOS THAT WILL TARGET THE EVALUATION OF INTEROPERABLE O-RAN COMPONENTS UNDER REAL-WORLD CONDITIONS.INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: OPEN RAN PRODUCT DEVELOPERS, CELLULAR MOBILE NETWORK OPERATORS (MNOS), ACADEMIC RESEARCHERS.SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: THE RECIPIENT DOES NOT PLAN TO SUBAWARD FUNDS.
