NGA was launched by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) in an effort to advance North America’s wireless technology leadership over the next decade.
ATIS’ Next G Alliance (NGA) has released a new white paper examining the expected transformative role of future 6G technology in powering integrated sensing and communication systems.
NGA said next-generation systems will allow distributed sensor and communication networks to implement integrated data exchange, allowing systems of sensors to work together. These will provide critical analysis to networks to upgrade configurations and improve performance, NGA said, adding that these systems will enable new user features.
“Nearly every market with use cases in this application class will experience the impact of 6G distributed sensing innovation,” said Next G Alliance Managing Director David Young. “These include healthcare, public safety, agriculture, and environmental monitoring, and the new NGA report focuses on potential impacts in critical areas of healthcare and public safety.”
“One of the ambitious roles that 6G can play for us is to intelligently collect, process and deliver data to authorized users and applications whenever and wherever it is needed,” said Chairman of the Applications Working Group. said Ki-Dong Lee. “This report explores use cases that have the potential to bring value to everyday life, in line with Next G Alliance’s six bold goals. , SAC) and enhanced awareness of situations of interest (Communication Assisted Sensing, CAS).In addition, maximum attention is paid to ensuring security and privacy, which is of paramount importance to data owners or authorized users. ” he added.
The Next G Alliance is an alliance of the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) in an effort to advance North America’s wireless technology leadership over the next decade through private sector-led efforts initially focused on the yet-to-be-standardized 6G. ) was launched by.
In May 2023, NGA announced the publication of a report called 6G Roadmap for Vertical Industries, which focuses on the demand side of future 6G systems.
This report builds on NGA’s 2022 Roadmap to 6G report, which established North America’s vision for next-generation communications systems. This report examined how 6G technology can help meet the application needs of a wide range of industries, including agriculture, automotive, education, gaming and entertainment, eHealth, industrial, mining, public safety, and smart cities.
NGA noted that the report tracks the impact of vertical-specific use cases on applications enabled by future 6G technology and highlights promising technologies that should be studied and incorporated into operational systems. did.
