Title: FPGA based Accelerator Card Design for Open RAN and 3GPP compliant Massive MIMO Base Station for beyond 5G
Abstract: With the rapid evolution of telecommunications networks towards open, disaggregated architectures, the Open Radio Access Network (ORAN) paradigm has emerged as a transformative approach. Within this framework, distributed unit plays a pivotal role in processing and managing radio access functions. To meet the increasing demands for data throughput, low latency, and scalability, integrating accelerator cards into ORAN has gained significant attention. By offloading compute-intensive functions such as forward error correction coding, rate matching, scrambling etc, and machine learning inference, accelerator cards enhance the overall performance and efficiency of ORAN deployments. This talk presents an overview of design and integration of FPGA based accelerator card into ORAN and 3GPP compliant base system for beyond 5G wireless systems, and explores the ensuing benefits.
Biography of the speaker: Dr. Prem Singh is a faculty member at IIIT-Bangalore and co-founder of Mantiswave Networks Pvt. Ltd., a start-up in the 5G wireless communication domain. Previously, he worked as Project Executive Officer on the Indigenous 5G Testbed project, where he designed FPGA based hardware, and software algorithms for an end-to-end 3GPP compliant 5G-NR Testbed. He received the M. Tech and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India. His PhD thesis received the Best Thesis award in IEEE CICT 2020 organized by IIIT Kancheepuram, India, and he was also one of the finalists (top two) for the Indian National Academy of Engineering (INAE) Innovative Doctoral Student Project Award 2021. His current research interests lie in the area of embedded system design for 5G and beyond wireless systems including FPGA based hardware design, 3GPP compliant firmware design, Private 5G and Testbed setup. His research interests also include Transceiver design for 5G and beyond wireless systems including parameter estimation, Orthogonal Time-Frequency space (OTFS), and ML applications for 5G and beyond wireless system design. His two recent research papers were picked by the IEEE Communication Society for the best readings for OTFS and Delay-Doppler signal processing. He co-authored a paper that was one of the finalists for the best student paper award at the IEEE SPCOM 2022, held at IISc Bangalore.
