IIT Kharagpur Collaborates with Ericsson for Advanced AI and Edge Computing Research Initiatives

IIT Kharagpur and Ericsson have partnered to jointly research AI, computing, and radio technologies, aiming to advance 6G research through innovative AI and distributed computing solutions. Get details here 

Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur and Ericsson have collaborated to conduct collaborative research in the fields of Artificial Intelligence (AI), computing, and radio technologies. This partnership aims to facilitate joint efforts between researchers from both entities in innovating new AI and distributed computing technologies for the advancement of 6G research. 

A symposium on Radio and Network research was organized at GS Sanyal School of Telecommunications (GSSST) where leaders from Ericsson Research and IIT Kharagpur participated to discuss the developments and advancements for the future of networks and communication.

Key Initiatives Finalized by Both Organizations

• Compute offload and Resource Optimization at edge compute: The project aims to explore resource optimization, dynamic observability and sustainable distributed and Edge computing technologies
• RL based Beamforming for JCAS: Safe, Causal, and Verifiable: The project aims to explore causal AI methods for joint communication and sensing (JCAS)

AI and Compute Research is instrumental to Ericsson’s 6G networks as the compute offload needs to be managed dynamically at edge and the policies would primarily be driven by AI. These themes of research are well aligned with IIT Kharagpur and both organizations view this partnership as a way to push the boundaries of fundamental and applied research in the Radio domain. 

Virendra Kumar Tewari, Director of IIT Kharagpur, says: “In the commitment towards Digital India and making India the hub of technological innovation, this collaboration with Ericsson will be effective for next-generation technology significantly. In the 6G era, IIT Kharagpur aims to contribute to Radio Access Technology and Network, Core Network, RF & Device Technologies, VLSI Design, Neuromorphic Signal Processing, Services and Applications. This collaborative research partnership in fundamental areas as well as translational research will be transformational for our Future Network Platforms.”
