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.
GPS at 50: Now what?
EE World interviewed Microchip’s David Chandler and Duke Buckner on the status and future of GPS, a technology we rely on for location tracking and network timing. Ethernet isn’t the only ubiquitous technology invented in 1973. GPS, the network of satellites that provide location and timing information, was also born that year. GPS has come…
Video: Research at NYU Wireless and Nokia aims for 6G
Upper mid-band frequencies, above 100 GHz frequencies, and integrated sensing are some of the projects that could find their way into cellular networks. At the 2023 NYU Brooklyn 6G Summit, EE world met with Prof. Sundeep Rangan, associate director of NYU Wireless and Peter Vetter, president of core research at Nokia Bell Labs to discuss…
6G conference exhibits demonstrate possible technologies
At the 6G Symposium and 6G Summit, attendees saw the latest research that could lead to the next generation of wireless.
