University of Bradford’s key role in researching 6G technology

6G, the next generation wireless technology currently in the early stages of research and development, will eventually take over the current system, 5G.

The advent of 5G has revolutionized the way we communicate, including faster download speeds and the ability to connect more devices simultaneously.

6G is likely to push things even further.

Eventually, personalized wound healing patches could be printed by nurses, holograms placed in classrooms, and drones monitoring farms.

As part of an EU-funded trial, the University of Bradford, led by Professor Sankar Sivarajah, Professor Vishanth Weerakkody and Vice-Chancellor Zahir Irani, will study how 6G can improve people’s lives. will receive £299,033.

Professor Sivarajah said: “This project will yield quantifiable technical indicators such as energy efficiency as well as measuring when and how often networks are disconnected.”

“But we will also look at the socio-economic costs, the savings and efficiency, and the impact on society.

“What impact will 6G have on people’s lives?

“Will people benefit?”

He added: “The University of Bradford Research Team (UBRAD) has several years of research and development experience in both academia and industry.

“The organization is made up of people who are recognized as some of the UK’s most published academics in the areas of technology management, evaluation and digital government research.

“UBRAD academics will take the lead on the social and business impact of trials and pilots, drawing on their extensive experience and expertise in assessing the introduction, dissemination and adoption of technologies in Europe. .”

The University of Bradford will analyze a number of 6G test cases including:

health

• Personalized wound healing, including 3D printed patches impregnated with appropriate drugs to heal individual wounds.

• Devices such as smartwatches and virtual reality will be able to detect when a person falls or is in pain and communicate with a doctor. This allows AI to recognize an individual’s daily life patterns, allowing it to personalize care.

education

• The use of augmented reality (an umbrella term for immersive technology that can blend the physical and virtual worlds) in rural schools and health training

• Use of holograms in education

Agriculture

“Smart City”
