Anritsu Corporation and MediaTek have successfully validated AI QoS and AI L4S technologies integrated into the MediaTek T930 5G CPE platform. Utilizing the Anritsu Radio Communication Test Station MT8000A, the companies established an end-to-end connection to simulate a cloud gaming environment. This setup allowed for the technical verification of latency compensation mechanisms required for high-bandwidth, time-critical applications such as XR, remote drone control, and live commerce.
Technical mechanisms for latency compensation
The integration of AI Quality of Service (QoS) and AI Low Latency, Low Loss, Scalable throughput (L4S) addresses the challenge of packet delay in congested networks. These AI-driven acceleration technologies function by intelligently managing data traffic flows to ensure stable throughput. By recreating a game server-to-client link, the companies demonstrated how the CPE platform maintains low-latency performance even under demanding network conditions.
Validation via multi-technology test platforms
The verification was conducted using the MT8000A, an R&D solution designed for the testing of chipsets and IoT modules. The platform supports a wide range of cellular standards and frequency ranges:
- Frequency coverage: The system supports 5G NR (FR1/FR2), NR NTN, and LTE.
- 6G Readiness: With a new internal RF hardware card, the station now supports FR3 frequencies up to 16 GHz, facilitating the transition toward future 6G standards.
- Integrated Testing: The instrument enables RF calibration and functional testing within a single hardware unit, streamlining the R&D cycle for high-performance chipsets.
Strategic impact on the digital supply chain
The ability to verify AI-based congestion control at the hardware level is essential for the development of next-generation 5G and 6G infrastructure. By ensuring interoperability between the CPE and the network simulation environment, Anritsu and MediaTek provide a validated path for deploying advanced mobile devices. This technology was showcased via a demonstration at the MediaTek booth during the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026 in Barcelona, held from March 2 to March 5, 2026.
