As the world gathers for Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024 in Barcelona this week, EE Times returns to Oulu, Finland, to speak to those involved in the 6G flagship program, which began in earnest in 2018. Ta. The situation improved after 10 governments signed a joint statement endorsing a set of common principles for research and development of 6G wireless communication systems.
EE Times interviewed Finland’s Minister of Transport and Communications, Lulu Ranne, after returning from her first MWC event. We also had an in-depth discussion with Professor Mehdi Bennis from the University of Oulu about advances in 6G research and what he thinks about the need for complementary and alternative visions of networks beyond faster communication at the link level. I learned.
Mehdi said that while modern and future networks consider robust data transfer with 99.999% operation, there are some overlooked limitations of the noisy channel coding theorem, also known as Shannon’s limit. I think we need to pay attention to aspects as well. This means focusing on the communication semantics of data, rather than just transmitting the raw data itself, and the need for network interoperability and resiliency. You can read the full interview below.

Governments sign common principles for 6G research
At the MWC, Finland joined 10 other countries in supporting the US-led multilateral joint statement supporting the 6G principles. A joint statement released by the White House brings together the United States, Australia, Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Japan, South Korea, Sweden and the United Kingdom to agree on common principles for 6G research and development.
The statement said that by working together, the two companies can “support secure connectivity that is open, free, global, interoperable, reliable, resilient, and resilient.” It further added that cooperation and unity are key to solving pressing challenges in 6G development, and it is intended to adopt relevant policies to facilitate the adoption of such policies in third countries. . This partnership also aims to advance research, development and standardization of his 6G networks that meet the following common principles:
- Reliable technology that protects national security.
- It’s secure, resilient, and protects your privacy.
- Comprehensive global industry-led standard setting and international cooperation.
- Collaboration for open and interoperable innovation.
- Affordability, sustainability, and global connectivity.
- Spectrum and Manufacturing.
Ranne told EE Times that she was encouraged by the MWC participation and joint statement. She says, “I was also very inspired by Finland.” [at the trade fair] and meetings with other technodemocracies [that had signed up to the joint statement]”
She added that security, safety and resilience are very important parts of this common goal.
“Cybersecurity and digital security are important to me. My Ministry is playing a leading role in implementation. In that regard, we will review our current situation and plan. takes all of this very seriously,” she said. “Finland is already a pioneer in the development of wireless technology and we believe in collaboration between research, the public sector and industry and we want to collaborate with like-minded countries.”
She said more countries should participate, adding that “technology is the key to solving many of the problems facing the world.”
Working together to influence international 6G policy is critical to ensuring that future mobile networks are consistent with democratic values. According to a joint statement, Finnish ministers acknowledged the country’s international influence and agreed that 6G technology is safe, in line with sustainable development goals and should be made available to more people. I am emphasizing that this is not the case.
“It is important that we continue to work together to develop 6G to ensure future mobile networks are secure and reliable,” he concluded. With its world-class 6G expertise, Finland can also lead in this field. ”
