Report indicates 5G-Advanced forms the foundation for 6G
As 5G-Advanced evolves and transitions to 6G, standards and pre-standards bodies have begun to align on the new features and enhanced capabilities that will define the next generation of wireless. A new report commissioned by InterDigital, Inc. introduces the enhancements to 5G capabilities and the novel features of integrated sensing and communication, native AI, and…
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.
6G: A tale from two conferences
October 2022 featured two conferences looking at 6G. The metaverse topped both, but engineering and sustainability were featured, too.
How cloud principles impact 5G
As part of the internet, “the cloud” core principles have significantly changed how software is developed and deployed. The principles of virtual machines and containers have impacted 5G’s system architecture. Here’s how.
Webinar: Why is 5G so power hungry? What can engineers do about it?
On March 10, four engineers will look at 5G energy consumption from components to networks.
Key takeaways from 6G Symposium
Despite the intense hype, 5G looks like a stepping stone to the real thing.
