This research demonstrates that integrating multiple AI-driven features into the Radio Access Network for 6G yields a combined 27% throughput improvement over non-AI baselines. By jointly optimizing deep-learning-aided MIMO receivers, power control, and link adaptation, the study confirms that these components provide complementary gains when deployed together rather than in isolation. The findings address a critical gap in evaluating complex AI-native network architectures under realistic multi-cell conditions.
Combining Improvements in Uplink AI-RAN
arXiv:2610.05936v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: One of the major transformative factors in 6G will be the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to become a native part of Radio Access Network (RAN). While most physical-layer AI features have so far been evaluated in isolation using link-level simulations, their combined behavior in a realistic multi-cell, multi-UE deployment has remained largely unexplored. In this paper, we present system-level performance results when multiple uplink AI features are enabled together, achieved by integrating accurate link-level and system-level simulators. To infer state-of-the-art deep-learning-aided Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) receivers under the dynamic allocations produced by a realistic uplink scheduler, we propose a mirrored data augmentation method that decouples receiver performance from scheduled allocation size. In addition to these Physical Layer (PHY) receiver features, we combine several recent advances in deep reinforcement learning to train uplink power control and link adaptation that outperform a heuristic baseline and further boost the gains obtainable from the AI receiver alone. The system-level results show that the combined AI features improve the mean uplink user throughput by roughly 27% compared to a non-AI baseline, confirming that the individual PHY and Medium Access Control (MAC) AI features provide complementary gains when deployed jointly.
