In September, NIST and IEEE conducted a hybrid. Workshop on 6G core network, which brings together speakers and participants from the United States and multiple countries. The purpose of the workshop was to explore the transition from 5G to 6G.
Volker Ziegler from Nokia was the keynote speaker. The workshop explored his 6G prospects and the speaker pointed out that 6G is still in the research and development stage. However, the European Commission’s Pearce O’Donoghue pointed to the need for a common view on how 6G will ultimately become a global standard, based on existing technology building blocks. These aim to guide research and development, prevent fragmentation of approaches in networking, and improve the 5G to 6G transition compared to the recent 4G to 5G transition.
Mike Nawrocki of the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) emphasized this need and described a common approach to achieving it. Countries and regional groups need to identify their 6G social goals. These will be the basis for revising and achieving a broader agreement. These goals will enable international cooperation in 6G, use cases, requirements, research and development, and the development of a common view on global standards. Mr. Nawrocki is Next G Alliance is currently enabling such collaborations between Europe, Japan, South Korea and North America.
Speakers such as InterDigital’s Doug Castor also talked about pre-designed security, spectral efficiency, and other anticipated requirements for 6G. Optimize computing and communications together. End-to-end quality of service. Quality of user experience. Additionally, Ericsson’s Mischa Doerer said there should be placeholders for artificial intelligence, application programming interfaces and augmented reality in the 6G architecture.
