ETSI releases the first Report that outlines a comprehensive analysis of advanced Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) use cases and deployment scenarios, setting the foundation for future 6G systems. This Report, ETSI GR ISC 001, developed by ETSI ISAC ISG, is a major step toward identifying the critical functional and performance requirements necessary to support…
Standards group to address 6G multiple access
ETSI has established a new Industry Specification Group (ISG) focused on Multiple Access Techniques (MAT) for 6G mobile systems. The group aims to build industry consensus on numerous multiple-access techniques based on 3GPP specifications. The ISG MAT will explore candidate techniques such as Orthogonal Multiple Access (OMA), Spatial Division Multiple Access (SDMA), Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access…
Wireless engineers need AI to build networks
By incorporating AI-native design principles, wireless engineers can develop systems and networks that meet today’s needs and are equipped to evolve with tomorrow’s wireless requirements and advancements. Next-generation wireless systems, such as base stations, cellular phones, and Wi-Fi modems, push complexity limits with ever-increasing capacity demands, greater coverage expectations, and a massive user surge. Enter…
NYU Wireless releases 6G channel propagation data
The wireless industry considers 6.75 GHz to 16.95 GHz as a potential “sweet spot” for 6G communications.
6G talk is getting old
The next G isn’t off the ground yet, but the 6G talk has gone through several phases with more to come
What to expect from 5G-Advanced
First deployed in 2019 for mobile broadband communications, 5G is now ready for 5G-Advanced, which, for the first time, adds features focused on enterprise use cases starting with 3GPP Release 18. First outlined in 3GPP Release 18, 5G-Advanced (5.5G) (Figure 1) significantly improves network efficiency, latency, throughput, and coverage. 5G-Advanced adds evolved multiple input multiple…
Video: How should 5G, 6G evolve?
EE World spoke with Matsing’s Manish Matta and Keysight’s Roger Nichols on how 5G is evolving into business use cases and where 6G could play a role.
6G: Sub-THz device reaches 100 Gbps data rate
NTT DOCOMO, INC., NTT Corporation, NEC Corporation, and Fujitsu Limited jointly announced the development of a top-level wireless device capable of ultra-high-speed 100 Gbps transmissions in the 100 GHz and 300 GHz sub-terahertz bands. The four companies have been jointly conducting R&D on sub-terahertz devices since 2021 in anticipation of the coming 6G era. To…
mmWaves bring interconnect challenges to 5G and 6G
Signals in the mmWave range require extra care and more expensive components than at sub-6 GHz frequencies.
6G could add sensing to cellular networks
Integrated communications and sensing at mmWave and sub-THz frequencies could add location detection that helps avoid accidents among pedestrians, bicycles, and vehicles.
