- Solution will serve to define models for rigorous testing of
radio access network intelligent controllers and associated
functions
- Enables testing of the near-real-time and non-real-time
functions of radio access network intelligent controllers
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) announces that the
University of Malaga, specifically the MobileNet: Mobile &
Aerospace Networks Lab within the Telecommunications Institute
(TELMA), has selected its RAN Intelligent Controller Test Solutions
(RICtest). The solution will serve to create testing models for RAN
Intelligent Controllers (RIC) covering both near-real-time RIC and
non-real-time RIC for advanced network intelligence management
functions.
As more operators move to Open RAN architecture, new test
requirements are emerging. RICs are a critical component of
controlling Open RANs and are comprised of two components, the
near-real-time RIC for low-latency functionalities and the xApps it
hosts, and the non-real-time RIC for less time-sensitive operations
and rApps. In order to drive network innovation and to ensure
interoperability, performance, and validation, testing RICs and
their apps is essential.
By leveraging Keysight’s RICtest solution, MobileNet has
successfully defined a crucial foundation for rigorous testing and
training of RIC xApps / rApps implementing advanced AI / ML
algorithms. The flexibility of the RICtest solution allows for
experimentation in both open-loop and close-loop scenarios,
enabling precise evaluation and optimization of these
algorithms.
Keysight’s RICtest solution faithfully emulates all E2 node
types standardized by the O-RAN Alliance, facilitating
comprehensive testing of RIC functionalities at any scale.
Additionally, it supports modeled measurements to test the AI and
ML processing of xApps and rApps.
Sergio Fortes, Associate Professor, Telecoms+AI/ML Researcher
for MobileNet / University of Málaga, said: “MobileNet
continues to demonstrate its key position in 5G / 6G and Open RAN
R&D. The RICtest solution complements the extensive set of
testbeds and network infrastructure of the MobileNet team
(including complete end-to-end 5G, vRAN, and Open RAN networks),
which are crucial for supporting cutting-edge R&D activities,
always in close collaboration with the private sector.”
Cao Peng, Vice President and General Manager for Keysight’s
Wireless Test Group, said: “Keysight remains at the forefront
of accelerating Open RAN deployments through cutting-edge test
solutions. We are delighted to collaborate with the MobileNet team
at the University of Malaga, assisting in the training of the xApps
/ rApps AI/ML algorithms and shaping its advanced management
approaches using our virtualized RICtest solution.”
