South Korean tech giant Samsung has started working on the sixth next
generation cellular technology and it expects completion of the 6G
standard and its earliest commercialisation date could be as early as
2028.
Mass commercialisation of 6G may occur around 2030, Samsung
said on Tuesday, adding that both humans and machines will be the main
users of 6G.
Samsung, which released a white paper entitled "The
Next Hyper-Connected Experience for All," said 6G will be characterised
by provision of advanced services such as truly immersive extended
reality (XR), high-fidelity mobile hologram and digital replica.
The
development comes even as the world is still far from realising the
full potential of the fifth generation cellular technology, commonly
known as 5G.
Samsung said its vision for 6G is to bring the next hyper-connected experience to every corner of life.
To
accelerate research for 6G, Samsung Research, the advanced R&D hub
within Samsung Electronics' SET Business, founded its Advanced
Communications Research Center in May of last year.
"While 5G
commercialisation is still in its initial stage, it's never too early to
start preparing for 6G because it typically takes around 10 years from
the start of research to commercialization of a new generation of
communications technology," Sunghyun Choi, Head of the Advanced
Communications Research Center, said in a statement.
"We've
already launched the research and development of 6G technologies by
building upon the experience and ability we have accumulated from
working on multiple generations of communications technology, including
5G.
"Going forward, we are committed to leading the
standardization of 6G in collaboration with various stakeholders across
industry, academia and government fields," Choi said.
Whereas 5G
requirements mainly focused on performance aspects, Samsung defines
three categories of requirements that have to be met to realize 6G
services -- performance, architectural and trustworthiness requirements.
Examples
of 6G performance requirements are a peak data rate of 1,000 Gbps
(gigabits per second) and air latency less than 100 microseconds, 50
times the peak data rate and one-tenth the latency of 5G, Samsung said.
The
architectural requirements of 6G include resolving the issues arising
from the limited computation capability of mobile devices as well as
implementing AI right from the initial phase of technology development
and enabling the flexible integration of new network entities.
The
trustworthiness requirement addresses the security and privacy issues
arising from the widespread use of user data and Artificial Intelligence
technologies.
The Samsung white paper also introduces candidate technologies that could be essential to satisfy the requirements for 6G.
These
include the use of the terahertz (THz) frequency band, novel antenna
technologies to enhance the coverage of high frequency band signals,
advanced duplex technologies, the evolution of network topology,
spectrum sharing to increase the efficiency of frequency utilisation and
the use of AI in wireless communications.
