The future of wireless was a top concern at the World Radiocommunication Conference in Dubai, where discussions focused on global spectrum utilization for terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks. As work progresses on his future 6G systems, standardization and commercialization timelines are becoming clearer, and WRC-23 representatives also said they are not sure what the potential use cases for 6G could be. I considered it.
As part of its recently concluded conference in Dubai, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Radiocommunications Assembly approved the IMT-2030 framework, which includes 6G. From here, ITU’s Radiocommunications Division (ITU-R) will focus on defining the technical requirements, submission process and evaluation criteria for potential 6G air interface technologies.
Companies and industry groups plan to submit IMT-2030 air interface technology, or 6G, proposals to the International Telecommunication Union in early 2027. These proposals are evaluated against the agreed minimum requirements and a final formal set is created. His 6G technology standard is expected to be approved by ITU during 2030.
The IMT-2030 framework recommendation for 6G identifies 15 capabilities that the technology must have. Nine of them will be based on existing 5G systems, the ITU said.
ITU said in its WRC-23 release that 6G will include six usage scenarios:
-Immersive communications that can provide users with a “rich, interactive video experience.”
– Bridge the digital divide in rural, remote, and sparsely populated areas with enhanced ubiquitous connectivity.
– “Ultra-reliable”, low-latency communications that can support scale-up of applications such as telemedicine and energy and power grid management.
– Artificial intelligence, and communications that support AI applications.
– “Integrated Multidimensional Sensing” (also known as Joint Communications and Sensing or JCAS) and high-precision positioning, object and presence sensing, imaging, mapping, and navigation assistance.
-Large-scale IoT communications across intelligent transportation systems, as well as the expansion of IoT usage, devices, and applications in areas such as agriculture, energy, environmental monitoring, and healthcare.
