InterDigital Showcases AI Innovations at 2024 Brooklyn 6G Summit

InterDigital

WILMINGTON, DEInterDigital, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDCC) is set to highlight groundbreaking advancements in wireless technology at the 2024 Brooklyn 6G Summit, scheduled from October 23 to 25. The summit, hosted by Nokia and NYU Wireless Research Center, serves as a convergence point for industry leaders aiming to shape the future of wireless communications, under the theme “6G – From vision to action.”

In collaboration with The University of Texas at Austin, InterDigital will present a live demonstration of their research on Over-the-Air Federated Learning (OTA-FL), a method poised to revolutionize AI model training in wireless networks. Traditional federated learning (FL) involves individual devices sending model updates to a central server, utilizing separate radio resources. OTA-FL, however, aggregates these updates directly over the air, significantly cutting down on resource usage and boosting energy efficiency, particularly as user numbers grow. This live demo will utilize software-defined radios (SDRs) to transmit model updates simultaneously, showcasing real-time OTA-FL training.

Milind Kulkarni, VP and Head of Wireless Labs at InterDigital, emphasized the importance of this research, stating, “As industry prepares for the increased use of AI, new solutions are required to enable AI – especially for the training of AI models.” Professor Kaushik Chowdhury from UT-Austin added, “OTA-FL offers an incredible opportunity to have model weight updates from a large number of devices without proportional increase in precious spectrum and time resources.”

Beyond the demo, InterDigital will also contribute to a panel discussion on “Energy Efficiency in AI/ML Networks.” Phil Pietraski, Senior Principal Engineer at InterDigital, will join experts from NVIDIA, Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute, Rohde & Schwarz, and MediaTek in exploring strategies to enhance energy efficiency in AI and machine learning networks. This panel is scheduled for October 25 at 1:40 PM ET in the NYU Wireless Pfizer Auditorium.
