This new training course is a "need to have" for all technical staff in the cellular industry who want to understand how Artificial Intelligence (AI) will re-shape their working environment within the next decade.

• The first chapter addresses two needs:
• De-mystification and first classification of AI. For example, we ask a few questions to ChatGPT and identify the limitations of this fascinating LLM (Large Language Model).
• To present the study items (SI) that 3GPP picked in 5G Advanced with Rel 18 and 19 to investigate, if, how, and to which degree different AI-models can improve cellular processes and operation.
• Please note that this part is only intended as an overview to pave the way for the following chapters that focus on generic AI.
• The second chapter is dedicated to AI-terminology and underlying technology. We explain in detail the operation of neurons and their different activation functions. We also present important AI-architectures like CNN (Convolutional Neuronal Network), which is particularly interesting for the cellular environment.
• We also explain how NN's (Neuronal Networks) are trained with focus on supervised and unsupervised learning.
• In a hands-on portion we show examples for convolution and max pooling operations.
• In the next chapter we can observe AI at work: Using the MNIST-database we perform a live training of a configurable neuronal network to perform handwriting recognition on 60,000 samples of handwritten digits.
• Live configuration relates to number of epochs, deployed activation function, number of hidden layers and neurons per layer etc.
• After this command line experience, it is time for a deeper dive into the AI-approach of 3GPP with Rel 18 and 19. In this chapter we introduce the underlying AI-related technology of these different study items and present the simulation results. As one example, we catch the technical details about and behind CSI-compression and prediction through AI and relate these details back to the generic AI that we already introduced.
• We also highlight 3GPP-specifics like life cycle management and which network elements may host which AI-specific functions like model storage, management etc.
• The final chapter looks beyond 5G-Advanced and towards 6G: What is an AI-native radio interface and how does it alter the signal processing chain in transmit and receive direction?
• We take a critical look behind the simulation results and the used channel models to better understand the practical relevance of such ubiquitous AI in the PHY-layer of cellular equipment.
• The course can be provided onsite and online with preference on the online / webinar option.

Some of your questions that will be answered during this course:

• In which areas of cellular will AI most likely be deployed?
• What are the simulation results of the various 3GPP study items on AI?

"From IEEE 802.11n to 802.11ac and ad"

We are pleased to introduce our new training course
"From IEEE 802.11n to 802.11ac and ad".

This course focus is on the VHT-related enhancements which the IEEE specified in the 802.11ac extension of the WLAN / WiFi standard series. However, the course also explains the specifics of 802.11 ad and the differences between these two amendments. Starting out with a primer on "before ac", the course initially focuses on 802.11 operation with respect to channel access and resource sharing. Namely the different channel access functions DCF, PCF, EDCA and HCCA are dealt with in detail and their differences and specifics are pointed out. During this part, the course also repeats the most important other characteristics of the OFDM-PHY and the MAC-layer. This includes a detailed consideration as to how QoS may be enabled in 802.11. The following chapter starts with an overview of the different groups of features which are added by the "ac"-extension of the standard. This chapter concludes with the "live"-calculation of the ac-related performance figures under different circumstances (e.g. modulation scheme, channelization). After this, the course focuses on the description and discussion of smart antenna techniques, namely SU-MIMO (up to 8 streams), MU-MIMO, and beamforming with ECFB as defined for 802.11ac. The students will learn without needing any mathematical formulas, how these techniques work and how they are applied in 802.11ac.

Questions like:

• How does 802.11ac differ from 802.11n? Which features are inherited from 802.11n?
• How does WiFi support the distinction of different QoS-requirements?
• What are the various 802.11ac-related enhancements? And how does 802.11ac differ from 802.11ad?
• How shall session switching operate between legacy WiFi, 802.11ac and 802.11ad?
• Why does 802.11ac not support "greenfield" PPDU?
