NTT DOCOMO, INC. and Samsung Electronics announced that they have successfully validated AI-based radio access network (AI-RAN) optimization technology at the user level. This approach often led to service quality degradation, such as connection drops in areas with weak signals. The AI learns each user’s movement patterns and service usage behavior, predicting potential service quality degradation before it occurs. Additionally, DOCOMO and Samsung developed an efficient data collection process to minimize network burden during wireless network optimization. Moving forward, DOCOMO and Samsung will continue to advance this technology and explore future 6G use cases.
