2025 Invited Talk: AI-Native and 6G Update- Stride towards 6G with AI, Technologies, and Testbeds
Speech topic：AI-Native and 6G Update- Stride towards 6G with AI, Technologies, and Testbeds
Abstract:
While the industry is still fighting hard to gain 5G service market shares, especially on the Industrial IoT (mMTC) domain, the standard communities, such as 3GPP and ITU-R, have started working on the next generation (6G) standard of commercial wireless standards under the banner of IMT-2030 since 2020. The targeted date for the release of 6G standard is 2030, but what are the differences, especially in user experiences, we can expect from the new generation of the wireless communication system?
New technologies, such as “Integrated Communications and Sensing (ISAC)”, “Terrestrial Network (TN) and Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) interconnecting”, and “AI-Native Core Networks and Radio Access Network (RAN)”, have been discussed in various standard and industrial forums, but what the implications for these technologies will be shaping the 6G communications?
“AI-Native for 6G” was originally an idea for improving the Core Network and RAN operational efficiency for energy saving; however, thanks to the powerful GPUs, offered by companies like NVIDIA and AMD, along with the rise of Generative-AI development, the dream of building a future intelligent network with effective radio channel estimations, network intelligence with smart apps, and computing on edge all seem to be possible now. Riding on the wave of the AI discussions, we can expect "AI in Core Network", "AI in RAN", and "AI-powered Applications and Services", to be key elements for 6G Communications; however, how realistic these goals can be achieved by, say 2035?
Furthermore, in order to achieve a much better user experience for the next generation communications, the industry needs to provide sustainable ubiquitous connectivity to support immersive communications, and support ultra-realistic display for XR in Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) to make seamless "Cyber (Meta)-Physical World" connection. How will satellite services, such as Starlink once mistakenly recognized as “6G Network” by many, along with other NTN solutions, such as HAPS, play out in 6G?
Many of these topics are still under discussions in various standard (e.g. 3GPP) and industrial forums (e.g. Next G Alliance, XGMF, and 6G Frum). There are tremendous opportunities for research and technology development and let’s stride for 6G together!
