PhD Student: Generative AI for 6G Network Architecture (m/f/d)

Huawei's vision is to enrich life through communication. We are a fast growing and leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider.

Driven by a commitment to operations, ongoing innovation, and open collaboration, we have established a competitive ICT portfolio of end-to-end solutions in Telecom and enterprise networks, Devices and Cloud technology and services.

Huawei is active in more than 170 countries and has over 197,000 employees of which more than 80,000 are engaged in research and development (R&D).

With us you have the opportunity to work in a dynamic, multinational environment with more than 150 nationalities worldwide.

Huawei's Munich Research Center is responsible for advanced technology research, architectural development, design and strategic engineering of our products.

Within MRC, the Advanced Wireless Technologies Lab ( AWTL ) focuses on technologies development, experimentation and standardization for next generation mobile communication systems.

In particular, AWTL Network Architecture team has been involved in the development of enabling technologies and architectural solutions for the upcoming IMT-2030 standards, focusing on AI native multi-functional 6G systems, featuring communication, computing, sensing, and cognitive capabilities, for an efficient and sustainable support of vertical digital services.

Digital services include civil or industrial intelligent robotic applications; augmented and virtual reality services, e.

g. for e-health, remote learning or gaming applications. In this context, recent developments in the field of Artificial Intelligence, and in particular of Generative AI, highlight a promising way forward to be explored, towards distributed intelligence autonomous systems, optimizing energy and resource consumption, and minimizing human intervention for system management and control.
