- AI is a key component of 6G and has the potential to improve performance and minimize energy consumption in future 6G networks.
- SKT joins the existing 6G collaboration between Nokia, NTT and Docomo to expand the scope and scale of its 6G Native Air Interface (AI-AI) efforts.
- At MWC 2024, SKT’s booth will feature a proof-of-concept video demonstration of AI Air Interface (AI-AI).
Nokia, SK Telecom (“SKT”), NTT and Docomo announced last Thursday that they have collaborated on the development of 6G AI-Native Air Interface (AI-AI). This is an important next-generation technology that could significantly accelerate the development of 6G AI-native air interface (AI-AI). Improve network performance while increasing energy efficiency. The four companies will present video demonstrations of AI-AI demonstrations.

AI-Native Air Interface (AI-AI) is a dynamic interface that uses machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to define the air interface. Adaptable to different wireless environments, data, applications, and hardware.
This new 6G collaboration builds on Nokia, NTT and Docomo’s existing relationship for 6G innovation. The addition of SKT will enable the four companies to expand the scope and scale of their 6G AI-AI testing and validation and explore a broader range of business use cases for the technology.
Academics, leading research institutions, and leading industry experts around the world predict that future 6G standards will use AI/ML for signal processing tasks such as channel estimation, channel equalization, and demapping. This concept is understood as a neural receiver.
Through this partnership, future proof-of-concept 6G AI-AI systems will be developed and tested using selected use cases and real-world environment scenarios. These wireless validation tests are conducted both in the laboratory and outdoors to best simulate real-world network results. SKT, NTT, Docomo, and Nokia will work together to improve the performance of AI models by leveraging data generated through real networks and simulations. This helps develop AI training models for industry-leading AI-AI solutions.
By working together, Nokia, SKT, NTT and Docomo will be able to integrate their research efforts and offer core areas of expertise. Nokia Bell Labs, Nokia’s industrial research division, is a leader in 6G innovation, and SKT, NTT and Docomo are globally recognized for their ability to successfully deploy every generation of networking and create new business value from advanced technologies. I am.
Peter Vetter, Director of Core Research, Nokia Bell Labssays: “For Nokia to build his world-class 6G system, it is important that he gets input from the service providers who will one day deploy 6G. SKT, NTT and Docomo are among the most innovative service providers in the world. , making it the perfect partner for designing future networks.”
Yu Takki, Vice President and Head of Infrastructure Technology, SKTsays: “This milestone represents a significant step forward in our joint efforts to develop 6G core technology involving technology leaders from South Korea, Japan, Europe, and the United States. SKT aims to become a global AI company. As we move forward, we will maintain the momentum of our research and development efforts to apply AI technology to network infrastructure.”
Mr. Takaaki Sato (Docomo Managing Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer)says: “Docomo and NTT are pleased to be working with Nokia, the world’s leading global vendor, and SKT, Asia’s joint leading mobile operator. Through this collaboration, we will We will lead the way in technological development and standardization of 6G, and focus on building a global ecosystem that includes the industries and technologies of the future.”
