VIAVI participated in the following winning bids:
- HiPer-RAN (Highly Intelligent, Highly Performing RAN) – Aims to develop a highly efficient, secure, and scalable Open RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) framework with conflict resolution capabilities between its intelligent modules, and the ability to withstand external malicious attacks. VIAVI will contribute to building the cyber security framework by developing an intelligent, resilient, and reliable solution defining non-real time and near-real time RIC-aware threat models, monitoring signals through the interfaces, and training the hybrid Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). HiPer-RAN will also target the development of a flexible, RIC-aware, physical layer (PHY) that accounts for the O-RU and O-DU design parameters and processing capabilities to enable high-performance, energy efficient, and low latency operation at a system level. VIAVI will lead the work on integration, testing, deployment and trial of the entire HiPer-RAN solution for a number of scenarios and use cases.
- REACH (RIC-Enabled (CF-)mMIMO for HDD) – This project will tackle the challenges of a High Demand Density (HDD) network featuring small-cell technology, massive MIMO (mMIMO) and Cell-Free massive MIMO (CF-mMIMO) applications by developing xApps and rApps for the RIC that can control small cell activation, power control, mMIMO beam deployment, CF-mMIMO RU control and signal shaping, heterogeneous cell structures, spectrum usage and energy efficiency, while dealing with mobility and handover management. VIAVI TeraVM RIC Test will support testing of xApps and rApps for mMIMO Apps, including traffic shaping, beam formation and energy efficiency.
- ARIANE (Accelerating RAN Intelligence Across Network Ecosystems) – This project will simulate a real-world multi-vendor Open RAN small-cell environment with multiple RICs and xApps/rApps, analyze and recommend opportunities for security hardening, measure impact on RAN performance in different test scenarios with multiple xApps and rApps, and offer learnings for standards development within O-RAN ALLIANCE. VIAVI TeraVM RIC Test will support multiple RICs to test xApps and rApps for energy management, traffic steering, advanced traffic steering and QoS-based dynamic resource allocation.
The ONE competition was part of the government's Open Networks R&D Fund which delivers on the
"Whether you're in a busy city centre or a rural village, a fast and reliable mobile connection is vital to staying in touch, accessing services and doing business. In order to secure that, we need to embrace a diverse and secure range of technology that will underpin the network," said
"VIAVI is proud to be a partner in the DSIT ONE flagship program for Open Network R&D in the
