The NVIDIA Sionna™ Research Kit, powered by the NVIDIA Jetson Platform, is the pioneering solution that integrates in-line AI/ML accelerated computing with the adaptability of a software-defined Radio Access Network (RAN). Leveraging OpenAirInterface, it guarantees O-RAN-compliant interfaces, providing extensive research opportunities—from 5G NR and O-RAN over real-world data acquisition to the deployment of cutting-edge AI-RAN algorithms for 6G.
Created by the team behind Sionna, the Sionna Research Kit features textbook-quality tutorials. In just an afternoon, you will connect commercial 5G equipment to a network using your own customizable receiver algorithms. Conducting AI-RAN experiments, whether cabled or over-the-air, has never been simpler and more cost-effective.
The official documentation can be found here.
You can build the documentation locally via make doc. This may require to manually install sudo apt install pandoc and pip install -r requirements_doc.txt.
