Reinaldo of Bell_Labs Nokia

Topic:

 6G Vision and Challenges

Abstract: 6G must address the unprecedented surge in network traffic demand, with 100 times more connected devices and up to 10 Tbps data rates enabling new services such as high-resolution AR/VR, digital twins, real-time data from autonomous vehicle-to-X systems, drones, and robots, as well as touch-based data requiring ultra-low latency.  In this talk, I will review the 6G Vision and challenges, deployment scenarios, and key technology drivers, with a special focus on sensing-based applications and relevant technology advances.
