Are you working on 5G or 6G?

Teresa Downes
Dear Community

I am currently conducting some research into 6G and would be interested to understand who in the UK is working on research in this area.  I have found that the University of Bristol, University of Surrey and KCL are developing a 5G test bed; is anyone else doing anything?

Hope you can help

Regards

    Hi Teresa,

    I have been working this area from the RF Systems design perspective for a few years now, first at NXP, then GM (auto V2V) and now at WolfSpeed. I have a paper in this/last months High Frequency Electronics Mag https://www.highfrequencyelectronics.com/images/HFEpdfs/2020/HFE0520_OE.pdf

    5G is kind of set at 3GPP level 15 and 16. Levels 17 and 18 are in working Group mode. I don't know that anyone has made an official announcement of which release level will officially be called 6G - and even if the do it will most likely change. The chipmakers have been doing their own thing to some extent and cherry picking what part of the releases they integrate into their chipsets. 5G probably still has 10 years to go for full rollout. We are still rolling out 4G in many parts of the would. 4G LTE macro is not going away. It's probably the system of choice in regional areas. Hence DSS. There will be some sharing for years to come and my prediction is it will get pretty messy.
