AI and computing research are key to Ericsson's 6G networks as the compute offload needs to be managed dynamically at the edge and the policies would primarily be driven by AI. "These themes of research are well aligned with IIT Kharagpur and both organisations view this partnership as a way to push the boundaries of fundamental and applied research in the radio domain," the release added.
