[Shanghai, China, February 22, 2022] Huawei unveiled IntelligentRAN, its new wireless network architecture, at today’s pre-MWC briefing and product and solution launch event. This architecture is designed to help operators create autonomous networks using service operation intelligence, experience optimization, and simplified operation and maintenance.
Huawei’s VP and CMO of Wireless Solutions Gan Bin spoke at the launch, explaining how key technologies have been integrated into the architecture to support DNA on wireless networks “Intelligence dramatically improves wireless networks by supporting analysis and prediction of correlative data to make more adaptive decisions. This is where IntelligentRAN comes in. It will enable networks to achieve zero service waits, consistent experience, zero network faults, and optimal experience and power efficiency. Using Mobile Intelligent Engine (MIE), it will better coordinate data, patterns and decisions between base stations and networks, paving the way for wireless intelligence.”
5G has led to a huge increase in the number of personal, industrial and home applications available in the wireless market. As these services increase, network performance requirements similarly diversify in terms of coverage, capacity, and latency. Inter-cell interference, a long-standing problem in mobile networks, also hampers carriers’ attempts to provide a consistent experience. And of course, as traffic increases, so does power consumption. To address these challenges, carriers are increasingly relying on smart wireless networks to rapidly deploy services while using the best mix of frequency bands to ensure optimal experiences. They are now turning to user-centric networks for resource configuration and simplified O&M to operate with optimal experience and energy efficiency.
Gan Bin Unveils Huawei’s New IntelligentRAN Wireless Network Architecture
Huawei’s new IntelligentRAN enables intelligent air interfaces to use key technologies such as intelligent networks, planning dictionaries and channel graphs. With these tools, they can intelligently configure air interface resources and achieve optimal user experience and capacity. Service prediction with IntelligentRAN also guides non-real-time spectrum and channel selection on the network side and real-time symbol planning and transmit power configuration on the base station side. This significantly reduces power consumption across the entire network.
Additionally, IntelligentRAN enables intelligent site planning SLAs, where parameters are dynamically configured and models can be flexibly adjusted in response to service changes.
Networks with IntelligentRAN also benefit from intelligent O&M. They can self-learn fault characteristics to improve accurate fault detection and root cause analysis. This replaces passive responses with proactive maintenance, bringing us one step closer to zero-fault wireless networks. Intelligent Minimum Drive Tests (MDT) can also work with Massive MIMO to create a complete high-accuracy map for network performance. This provides more accurate guidance for network planning, optimization, and VIP user assurance.
IntelligentRAN uses collaborative power control to significantly reduce the intensity of electromagnetic radiation while ensuring optimal multiband performance. This feature will help meet the power restriction requirements currently found in some countries.
Gan concluded his remarks by explaining how important Huawei thinks this new architecture will be for sustainability efforts: “IntelligentRAN enables autonomous networks. I look forward to working with operators and industry partners to better achieve this goal.”
