WINLAB and Open Network Foundation Team receives an award from the Biden-Harris Administration's Wireless Innovation Fund to improve 5G O-RAN Energy Efficiency
WINLAB Chief Technology Officer Ivan Seskar is the Rutgers PI for the project titled "5G Energy Efficiency: Metrics, Models, and Systems Tests" and will lead a research team including Dr. N. K. Shankaranarayanan, that funds activities at WINLAB for a period of 2 years at $750k. In partnership with ONF, WINLAB will develop testing methods that assess the energy consumption and efficiency of individual 5G network components and end-to-end Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) architectures.
Congratulations Ivan, team and WINLAB!
