Everything seems to happen faster these days, and that applies to standards work leading to mobile net-generation networks. As Samsung notes, though a new mobile platform is commercialized about every decade, the time it takes to create a standard is shrinking.
Where 3G standards work took about 15 years to finish the technical standards, 4G took about 12 years. 5G standards were completed in about eight years, and Samsung believes 6G likewise will take no longer than eight years.
As performance of the communications network continues to increase, there will likely be more emphasis on issues such as device battery life and computational power. Ignoring the issue of applications for the moment, every mobile generation has brought at least an order of magnitude more network performance (speeds or capacity).
“While 5G was designed to achieve 20 Gbps peak data rate, in 6G, we aim to provide the peak data rate of 1,000 Gbps and a user experienced data rate of 1 Gbps,” says Samsung.
Also, each generation tends to feature greater spectral efficiency as well. “We can aim to have two times higher spectral efficiency than 5G,” says Samsung.
“Performance targets include air latency less than 100 microseconds, end-to-end latency less than one millisecond, and extremely low delay jitter in the order of microseconds. With these requirements satisfied, the user experienced latency can be less than 10 ms, says Samsung.
And though artificial intelligence often seems abstract in the context of the communications business, Samsung argues that AI will need to be embedded in all system components in 6G networks.
“it is inevitable that mobile communications will utilize the terahertz (THz) bands (i.e., 0.1-10 THz,” Samsung also says
