Abstract

Machine learning for wireless communications has become an omnipresent tool in wireless communications research and it is foreseeable that it will play an increasingly important role in the future evolution of 5G as well as the development of 6G. This trend is supported by the recent 3GPP announcement to promote AI/ML as a new study item for the upcoming Release 18.  To support these efforts, we present Sionna, a new open-source software library for GPU-accelerated link-level simulations and 6G research. Sionna enables rapid prototyping of complex communication system architectures and provides native support for the integration of neural networks. In the second part of the talk, we demonstrate AI/ML use-cases for the PHY layer and showcase the benefits of a data-driven system design which does not need to rely on any prior mathematical modelling and analysis of the channel.
