NTT Docomo has conducted what it says is the world’s first outdoor demonstration using real-time transceiver systems with AI-powered wireless tech, pitched as a 6G play.
The trial was performed alongside Nokia Bell Labs and SK Telecom at three locations in Yokosuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture in Japan, and the firm says it confirmed that the use of AI improved throughput by up to 100% as compared with “conventional non-AI-based methods under the same environmental conditions, effectively doubling the communication speed.”
The release said that in wireless comms, fluctuations in the radio propagation environment can cause unstable connection quality, and the trial was about addressing this by testing ‘AI-AI technology,’ which applies artificial intelligence to both the transmitting and receiving sides of the wireless interface.
