Australia, March 5 -- In an Australian-first trial, Optus and Ericsson have announced an AI-native Radio Access Network (RAN) Link Adaptation capability that dynamically reacts to challenging network environments with weak or limited radio signal coverage, boosting 5G downlink performance in poor radio frequency conditions.The new capability, which delivered cell level throughput gains of more than 20 percent in medium to poor radio frequency conditions during field-validated testing on the Optus 5G network, demonstrates how real-time AI can deliver positive outcomes. It can enhance downlink throughput, delivering better consistency and reliability for users, particularly at the edges of mobile coverage or in challenging conditions.With mob...
