The 6G Architecture Landscape – A European perspective – 3GPP

The European networking research community has started a new program along with 33 projects on the Smart Networks and Service (SNS) programme that will focus on 5G advanced and 6G. The 5G/B5G Architecture Working Group (WG), as part of the 5G PPP Initiative, is identifying and capturing novel trends and key technological enablers for the realization of the 5G and 6G architecture. The main findings and results of the Architecture WG are now captured in this white paper, which presents a consolidated view from European perspective on the technical directions for the architecture design in the 6G era.

Near-Field MIMO Communications for 6G: Fundamentals, Challenges, Potentials, and Future Directions – Tsinghua

In this paper a team from Tsinghua University investigate emerging near-field communication techniques. They address two types of recent studies in near-field communications: techniques addressing the challenges and those exploiting the potential
in near-field regions. Their principles, recent progress, pros and cons are discussed, alongside several open problems and future research directions for near-field communications.

The 6G Ambient IoT Opportunity For Supply Chain – ABI

A new class of Ambient Internet-of-Things (IoT) technology, which delivers pervasive connectivity to products that were previously disconnected, can help supply chains provide that much-needed granular real-time visibility.

In this whitepaper, ABI Research provides comprehensive insight into how Ambient IoT enables most items in a supply chain to be connected to the Internet, delivering real-time triggers and information about location and condition at a minimal cost, using existing wireless infrastructure, without human intervention.

Antenna Research Directions for 6G

Antenna Research Directions for 6G

This work reviews several key
research trends in antennas to fulfil demands for the fifth
generation of communications (5G) and beyond, especially 6G,
and considers novel antenna techniques and designs needed to
increase the smartness of the antenna systems and to provide
improved beamforming and security.

6G Applications and Use Cases – Next G Alliance

6G Applications and Use Cases – Next G Alliance

Next G Alliance explores four foundational areas of use cases (Everyday Living, Experience, Critical Roles, and Societal Goals), with the goal of better understanding how next-generation technology and its ecosystem can help improve the way humans live and interact.

Securing ArtificiaI Intelligence (SAI); The role of hardware in security of AI – ETSI

Securing ArtificiaI Intelligence (SAI); The role of hardware in security of AI – ETSI

ETSI’s newly published report gives an overview of the roles of general-purpose and specialized hardware, such as neural processors and neural networks, in enabling the security of AI. The report identifies hardware vulnerabilities and common weaknesses in AI systems and outlines the mitigations available in hardware to prevent attacks, as well as the general requirements on hardware to support the security of AI (SAI).

Dynamic infrastructure-as-a-service: A key paradigm for 6G networks and application to maritime communications – ITU

Dynamic infrastructure-as-a-service: A key paradigm for 6G networks and application to maritime communications – ITU

This paper highlights the missing elements in 5G that prevent evolutions of this technology from meeting future needs. Instead, they propose a disruptive communication paradigm to “ultimately enable the radical evolution of the current systems”, that interlink connectivity and computing seamlessly. They propose 6G should be able to “integrate and release, in a dynamic manner, heterogeneous types of resources, such as diverse types of network entities/nodes with nomadic, relaying, and multi-tenancy capabilities, which can enable demand-driven service provisioning, coverage extension, increased network capacity, and reduced energy consumption.”

6G: The Personal Tactile Internet And Open Questions for Information Theory – Information Theory Society

6G: The Personal Tactile Internet And Open Questions for Information Theory – Information Theory Society

The hype around 5G is, again, focusing on business customers, in particular in the context of campus networks. Consequently, 6G must provide an infrastructure to enable remote-controlled mobile robotic solutions for everyone—the Personal Tactile Internet. Which role can information and communication theory play in this context, and what are the big challenges ahead?

Penn State University: Researchers Engineer Electrically Tunable Graphene Device To Study Rare Physics – India Education Diary

Penn State University: Researchers Engineer Electrically Tunable Graphene Device To Study Rare Physics – India Education Diary

Researchers, co-led by the University of Manchester (UK) and Penn State (USA) have developed a tunable graphene-based platform that allows fine control over the interaction between light and matter in the terahertz (THz) spectrum to reveal rare phenomena known as exceptional points.

The work could advance optoelectronic technologies to better generate, control and sense light and potentially impact wireless communications, according to the researchers. They demonstrated a way to control THz waves, which could contribute to the development of beyond-5G wireless networks.
