AI/ML Life Cycle Management for Interoperable AI Native RAN

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The article discusses the growing role of AI and ML in 5G Radio Access Networks (RAN) and the need for a standardized life‑cycle management (LCM) framework to address issues like model drift, vendor lock‑in, and limited transparency. It reviews the five‑block LCM architecture introduced by 3GPP Releases 17–20, KPI‑driven monitoring mechanisms, and inter‑vendor collaboration schemes, and proposes an enhanced LCM framework that integrates reference‑model and vendor‑model development for two‑sided operation. The paper also identifies open challenges in resource‑efficient monitoring, environment drift detection, intelligent decision‑making, and flexible model training, laying groundwork for AI‑native transceivers in 6G.

Improving 5G AI-RAN MCS Selection by Predicting Retransmissions

The paper introduces NOSTRAdAMUS, a predictive link‑adaptation framework for 5G NR that forecasts retransmissions in the next radio frame using recent HARQ history and adjusts the Modulation and Coding Scheme accordingly. Gradient Boosting models achieve 82.9% overall accuracy, with high‑confidence predictions correct 94.2% of the time and a 5.5 µs inference latency. Evaluated OTA on the X5G testbed and various channel emulators, the approach boosts goodput by up to 71.5% and cuts retransmissions by up to 71.8% without retraining across diverse scenarios.

A 3GPP-Compliant Benchmark Dataset for RIS-Aided Beyond 5G Networks

The paper presents a large‑scale, 3GPP TR 38.901‑compliant dataset for RIS‑aided millimeter‑wave B5G networks, covering 20 deployment variants with diverse user densities, fading, and blockage conditions. Each sample includes oracle RIS phase configurations from a brute‑force search, along with full CSI, per‑link channel decomposition, optimal phase matrices, and CQI labels, enabling a wide range of machine‑learning tasks. The authors also introduce a novel CSI‑to‑CQI mapping as a benchmark for scalable link‑quality prediction and evaluate it against state‑of‑the‑art models under various conditions.
