AI and RAN Coding Technologies and Markets Research 2024: Telco Initiatives for AI in the RAN, Vendor Initiatives, Virtualization of the RAN, AI/ML/DL - Key Concepts Explainer - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "AI and RAN Coding - Technologies and Markets" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This report offers valuable insights for network planners, vendors, and telecom operators looking to stay ahead in the evolving landscape of AI and RAN coding. It breaks down the market for AI in RAN coding by two criteria: mobility generation (5G and others) and geographical regions (NA, EMEA, APAC, and CALA).

This comprehensive study explores how AI is transforming Radio Access Network (RAN) coding, enhancing network efficiency and performance. Key highlights include:

• AI Integration: Understand how AI is seamlessly integrating into the RAN architecture, particularly through O-RAN initiatives, to optimize coding and improve network adaptability.
• Market Forecasts: Gain insights into market trends and forecasts for AI-driven RAN coding technologies, segmented by mobile telephony generations and geographical regions.
• Vendor and Telco Initiatives: Discover the innovative AI solutions from leading vendors and the strategic initiatives by telecom operators to leverage AI in RAN coding.

Chapter Summary:

The chapter "AI/ML/DL- Key Concepts Explainer" lays down the basic ground for what constitutes AI, ML and DL. While these concepts are covered extensively in contemporary times, it is important to unambiguously define them to put into perspective, their role in the cellular mobile network architecture. However, the crux of the chapter is the explanation of the several use-cases that this report sizes and forecasts the market fore. This chapter enunciates in appropriate detail the applications of AI, ML and DL in the operations of 4G and 5G cores.

The chapter "Virtualization of the RAN" places virtualization in the realms of the RAN network function. In the context of AI, if there is any development that has as OpenRAN are a direct result of the ground laid by SDN and NFV technologies. The chapter traces the evolution of the RAN and its progressive virtualization.

The chapter "AI and RAN Coding "details the import of AI to the RAN. It dives into the role played by O-RAN in providing a pathway for deeper integration with AI. The chapter then details caching, where AI is providing or likely to provide seminal contributions.

The chapter "Vendor Initiatives for AI in the RAN" identifies, covers and analyzes key vendors and their solutions related to AI in the RAN. More importantly, the chapter uncovers the seminal impact that AI is engineering on the RAN vendor landscape.

The chapter "Telco Initiatives for AI in the RAN" details the approaches and initiatives of leading telcos in context of AI in the RAN. It should be remembered that it was the telcos that championed the NFV movement. A fallout of this movement is the gradual induction of AI in the RAN architecture. The RIC through the O-RAN initiative has been a major step in that initiative. This chapter chronicles the telco initiatives and their outcomes.

The chapter "Quantitative Analysis and Forecasts" presents the quantitative forecast of the market for AI in cellular mobile RAN coding. The market is broken down based on several different criteria such as mobile telephony generations and geographical regions.
