In MU-MIMO, the base station schedules multiple user equipments simultaneously to improve spectral efficiency and cell throughput. Therefore, selecting suitable UE pairs or groups is an important part of the scheduling process.\nThis thesis focuses on exploring how AI methods can reduce the computational complexity and scheduler latency of the existing deterministic MU-MIMO pairing algorithm, while maintaining high pairing quality, throughput, and spectral efficiency. For example, AI can be used to rank or prune candidate UE pairings and identify the most promising candidates before the existing pairing algorithm is applied\nWhat you will do\nExplore how AI can be integrated into the existing MU-MIMO pairing process, with the goal of reducing computational complexity and scheduler latency while maintaining high pairing quality and system performance.\nInvestigate and evaluate different ways of applying AI to the pairing process, for example, by using AI to rank or prune candidate UE pairings before the existing pairing algorithm is applied.\nCompare the AI models and approaches explored in terms of pairing performance, model complexity, computational cost, and latency.\nThe skills you bring\nBackground in machine learning and AI, preferably with hands-on experience using models such as LSTMs, CNNs, or other ML models.\nA good foundation in communication systems; a background in wireless communication or other communication-related fields is a plus.\nExperience with model experimentation, debugging, evaluation, and performance analysis.\nInterest in AI/ML, AI in RAN, intelligent networks, or next-generation wireless communication.\nGood programming and data analysis skills.\nGood communication and collaboration skills.\nWhy join Ericsson?
