US commits to open source 5G software - Mobile World Live 03 JUN 2021
The US National Science Foundation (NSF) partnered with 35 wireless companies and associations to speed the development of open source standalone (SA) 5G software by opening a dedicated research centre.
Their OpenAirX-Labs (OAX) initiative will be part of the NSF’s Platforms for Advanced Wireless Research and be located in Northeastern University in Boston.
NSF explained the programme will provide a neutral, remotely-accessible laboratory environment in North America, enabling researchers to accelerate development of a stable, compliant, and performant 5G open source software stack.
The facility will coordinate closely with Eurecom in France, which is conducting similar research and is part of OAX.

Computer networks and communications systems are increasingly complex, but traditional model-based approaches are still used to manage networks that now span mobile, edge and cloud computing, distributed systems and network stacks along with both wired and wireless systems.
To develop the next generation of high-performance networks, researchers have been relying on machine learning and other data intensive techniques – both of which may require large representative datasets for training and testing the viability of their algorithms and protocols.
In an April 14 Federal Register notice, the National Science Foundation asked the research community what kinds of datasets they need to spur advances in computer and network systems. The request for information seeks input related to data collecting and sharing and leveraging public or private datasets. For example, the NSF’s for Advanced Wireless Research program, which has established urban testbeds for
