The next G isn’t off the ground yet, but the 6G talk has gone through several phases with more to 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 Symposium: The discussions continue
The 6G Symposium took place on October 18 and 19, 2023, in Washington, DC. This year, the talk was more about use cases, with less talk about sustainability than in the past. One week before the symposium, I heard two contrasting views on 5G given at a virtual conference. In the morning, Chris Pearson of…
Technical demonstrations round out two 6G conferences
Most demonstrations centered on sub-terahertz communications and the technologies needed to make them a reality.
Brooklyn 6G: 5G has more coming before 2030
Day 1 of the 2021 Brooklyn 6G summit looked at the upcoming standards, features, and enhancements that will come to 5G while the research community explores 6G technologies.
Future connectivity: More than just 5G
At the 2021 (virtual) IEEE Microwave Symposium, the industry looked at where wireless is going and how it will get beyond 5G.
Open RAN functional splits, explained
Open radio access networks offer the option of placing network functions in different places along the signal path. That option, called a functional split, lets network engineers optimize performance and make tradeoffs.
Video: Panel highlights Open RAN technology and policy
Representatives from Open RAN suppliers and users explain how how government policy can affect the ongoing development and deployment of 5G networks.
Open RAN has rewards, but comes with risks
In a panel session held on July 15, representatives of network equipment suppliers touted the advantages of open radio-access networks. Getting there will take time involves risk, including too much hype.
