Rob Calderbank of Duke University is one of those unusual academics to have spent a long time in commercial telecoms environments. Today, while he is leading Duke’s interdisciplinary work on big data, he has also recently published work on something he calls pulsones, which may contribute to a more efficient future air interface. 6GWorld caught up with him to find out more about this, and why a big data professor is worrying about radio.
6G is receiving increasing attention and funding. We talked to experts at the 6GSymposium Fall 2022 about their expectations for investments
While many of us are familiar with the leading role of the USA, China and Europe in the development of mobile technologies all the way up to 5G, countries around the world are seeing their opportunity to contribute in new ways to the next generation of telecoms. The past six months have seen not just statements of intent but concrete actions to bring countries and regions into the 6G fold.
The survey also shows that Non-Terrestrial Networks will play a role in making 6G accessible in respondents’ opinion
Experts who attended the 6GSymposium in Washington, D.C. explained what’s being done in 6G fields like the Internet of Nano-Things and NTN
Enterprise services are a focus in both 5G and 6G. However, a major challenge lies in being able to deliver end-to-end quality of service guarantees, particularly where services travel across more than one operator network. Open RAN and open networks should help, but will that even be a 6G phenomenon?
Experts agree that we are still ways off a concrete 6G vision, but there’s an opportunity to combine lessons from the past and innovation
InterDigital’s VP Milind Kulkarni summarises the state of conversation and ambition around 6G at present, timelines, and some of the demands this implies for the design of the new networks.
At October’s 6GSymposium Andreas Roessler from Rohde & Schwarz offered his thoughts on how to accelerate the path to more market-ready propositions. This 7-minute video lays the groundwork.
