Samsung has started to publicize its direction for 6G, the next generation
of wireless networks likely to supercede 5G sometime in the next decade.
The company joins Nokia and a few other organizations that are exploring
the upgrade.
From a technology standpoint, Samsung will be aiming for peak data
rates of 1Tbps and latency less than 100 microsec, “fifty times the peak
data rate and one-tenth the latency of 5G.” 6G will use terahertz
frequencies, which are well above microwave and millimeter wave, along
with optimized antennas. Spectrum sharing enhancements and more
sophisticated duplexing will be used to better utilize wireless
frequencies. Reliability, wanting in 5G, also is mentioned as a focus. But
it’s the projected megatrends that Samsung will propel 6G that are most
interesting.
vehicles, robots, construction machinery and factory equipment will
become prime “connected machine” users. Smart sensors installed in
various infrastructures” will be a part of that.
