Incredibly, today’s networks have formed an intelligent digital infrastructure offering endless possibilities to individuals, enterprises, and governments worldwide. The rollout of 5G will enable robust new solutions for a wide range of social, environmental, and economic challenges.\u00a0We\u00a0are already on the way towards the next paradigm shift formed by a combination of emerging technology trends. That paradigm shift will take us to the 6G era which willgive rise to challenges beyond what even 5G can meet.\u00a0The increasing expectations set a clear target for us in the industry and research community \u2014 6G should contribute to an efficient, human-friendly, sustainable society through ever-present intelligent communication. This presentation will outline Ericsson’s vision where 6G will enable a cyber-physical continuum blending the physical real world of sensing, action and experience with a programmable digital representation of that same world, and call on the audience to engage in the shaping of the future network platform.<\/p>\n

Recent work has shown that the fundamentals of the radio propagation channel will enable mobile communications all the way to 900 GHz, offering bandwidths of tens of GHz. An amazing fact that is all but disregarded is that the three fundamental technological breakthroughs of 5G, namely millimeter wave technology, small cell densification, and massive multiple-input multiple-output (massive-MIMO) antenna systems, are paving the way for the next several decades of the wireless industry. This talk demonstrates how the 5G era will futureproof wireless networks as we enter the 6G era and beyond — an era of wireless cognition and human-style computing. In fewer than 20 years, wireless networks will carry information at the computation speed of the human brain. Yet, how will engineers ensure that we build these networks with sustainability and power efficiency in mind? This talk offers some solutions and promising areas of exploration to ensure the future 6G era is lightning fast yet kind to planet earth.<\/p>\n

Theodore (Ted) S. Rappaport is the David Lee\/Ernst Weber Professor at NYU. He founded NYU WIRELESS and the wireless research centers at the University of Texas Austin (WNCG) and Virginia Tech (MPRG). His research has provided fundamental knowledge of wireless channels used to create the IEEE 802.11 standard, the first U.S. digital TDMA and CDMA standards, and the first public WiFi hotspots, and recently proved the viability of millimeter wave and sub-THz frequencies for 5G, 6G, and beyond. He founded two companies that were sold to publicly traded companies – TSR Technologies, Inc. and Wireless Valley Communications, Inc. – and was an advisor to Straight Path Communications, which sold 5G millimeter wave spectrum to Verizon. He is a registered professional engineer, a member of the Wireless Hall of Fame, a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors, and a member of the US National Academy of Engineering. He is a life-member of the American Radio Relay League and has amateur radio callsign N9NB.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

6G is no longer a mere long-term aspiration. It is a framework of technologies that will become reality by the end of the decade. We are transitioning from the idea-generation phase to systematization and proof-of-concept realization. In this talk, we will present progress on many of the key technologies Nokia and its partners are envisioning for future 6G systems. These technologies include network-as-a-sensor, which will introduce new spatial and contextual awareness capabilities, the AI-native air interface, which will give radios the ability to learn, and new spectrum technologies, which will deliver the capacity and flexibility necessary to meet future demands. We will also discuss how an intent-based automated network management will bring dynamic X-as-a-service to life.
\nIn the same talk, Peter will invite Mr. Takehiro Nakamura from NTT DOCOMO to share his view on potential 6G use cases.<\/p>\n

Real-time situation awareness is essential for current and future wireless applications, particularly those involving Internet-of-Things and towards 6G ecosystems. In particular, the reliable localization and navigation of people, objects, and vehicles \u2013 Localization-of-Things \u2013 is critical for providing situation awareness in a diverse set of applications including smart environments, vehicle autonomy, asset tracking, medical services, and environment sensing. The coming years will see the emergence of network localization and navigation in challenging environments. We will discuss the limitations of traditional positioning and move on to the key enablers for high-accuracy location awareness with sub-meter accuracy and minimal infrastructure requirements in beyond 5G ecosystems towards 6G.<\/p>\n
