Master Thesis: AI Edge in RAN CS

Join our Team

About this opportunity:

We offer two Master's Thesis assignments at the heart of next-generation (6G) radio base stations, where robust data storage, energy efficiency and applied AI meet real product challenges.
You will work hands-on in a real Radio Access Network development environment, close to experienced engineers, building and validating working prototypes on production-grade hardware. Pick the assignment that matches your interests - or discuss with us which one fits you best.

What you will do:

Assignment 1 - Evolved local and external storage

• Prototype how to store new AI/ML and observability data on the local disk despite size and endurance (TBW) limits, including efficient export and re-import.
• Investigate how external (remote) storage can be set up, exposed, protected and read back, and how it behaves across node events (upgrade, rollback, disk outage).
• Propose an aligned storage API supporting deployment-specific needs (size, write speed, response time, availability).

Assignment 2 - AI engine for in-flight, traffic-driven actuation

• Profile realistic daily traffic curves (peak vs. off-peak) on a standalone cellular node.
• Build a lightweight Deep Reinforcement Learning agent (e.g. PPO) that reacts to traffic in real time.
• Actuate resources in-flight - adjust container core pinning and CPU frequency (DVFS) at runtime without restarting the container.
• Validate power savings while proving zero service disruption, aligned with Green 6G KPIs.

The skills you bring:

Assignment 1:

• A systems language (C, C++, Go or Rust) and comfort in Linux.
• Knowledge of storage systems, file systems or distributed/remote storage.

Assignment 2:

• Python and an RL framework
• Linux internals, containers, CPU pinning and DVFS / power management.

Additional skills:

• Good English skills
• Great collaboration and team-player
