Nokia, NTT DOCOMO, and NTT announced that they have achieved two key technological milestones on the path to 6G.
While much of the channel is trying to flog 5G, vendors are worried about what will come next and it looks like the future will be artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into the radio air interface.
This will mean 6G radios will have the ability to learn using the new sub-terahertz (sub-THz) spectrum to boost network capacity dramatically.
The AI-native air interface and sub-THz spectrum are both critical research topics that Nokia, DOCOMO and NTT are exploring for future 6G networks.
