Samsung Electronics might be on the forefront of standardizing 6G applied sciences with the International Telecommunication Union Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R)1 till 2029.
Researcher HyoungJin Choi from Samsung Research was named chair of the Coordination Group on IMT-2030 (6G) on the ITU-R Working Party 5D (WP 5D) assembly held in Geneva, Switzerland from June 25 to July 2. It might be Choi’s second time chairing a bunch on the ITU-R concerned in 6G standardization as he had beforehand led the 6G Vision Group from 2021 to 2023.
The Coordination Group might be liable for defining the method for creating 6G expertise requirements in addition to creating the submission template for candidate 6G applied sciences and reviewing candidate proposals.
The standardization of next-generation communications includes a extremely aggressive and collaborative course of amongst completely different stakeholders.
In November 2023, the ITU-R launched the IMT-2030 Framework Recommendation, outlining the longer term and common course of 6G. By 2026, the ITU-R goals to determine the technical efficiency necessities of 6G applied sciences. These necessities will function the muse for candidate 6G applied sciences to be developed by requirements organizations just like the third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)2 and later submitted to the ITU-R. The ITU-R will then consider and coordinate the submissions, with technical specs for 6G anticipated to be finalized by 2030.
With the IMT-2030 Framework Recommendation offering key efficiency indicators, utilization eventualities and a roadmap for the standardization, spectrum and commercialization of 6G, the business is now poised to embark on detailed standardization efforts. Moving ahead, international locations and corporations will vie for management in setting 6G communications requirements, together with efficiency necessities and frequency bands.
Samsung will actively have interaction with influential requirements organizations and proceed creating progressive communications applied sciences en path to reinforcing its place as a worldwide chief in 6G standardization.
1 The ITU is the United Nations specialised company for info and communication applied sciences (ICT) with memberships of 193 Member States and greater than 1000 firms, universities, analysis institutes and worldwide and regional organizations. The ITU’s Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) is liable for regulating and standardizing international radio communication.
2 3GPP is devoted to creating the worldwide unified technical specs for cell communications.
