Case Study: George Mason University advances O-RAN and 6G RAN controller research with National Instruments SDR hardware
A National Instruments Case Study
Next-Generation O-RAN Research Testbeds with NI SDR Hardware
George Mason University faced the challenge of comprehensively testing the performance of artificial intelligence (AI) for managing next-generation cellular networks, a process that was often cumbersome or non-existent.
National Instruments provided the solution with its NI software-defined radio (SDR) hardware, which was used to build the Open AI Cellular (OAIC) testbed. This open-source 5G platform interacts with the O-RAN architecture to prototype and test AI-based radio access network controllers. The results were a publicly available foundational platform enabling 6G research, including integrated use cases like a RAN Slicing xApp.
