- Prototype early 6G network uses Ericsson’s pre-standard
protocol stack tailored for potential new spectrum bands,
representing initial step to validating 6G protocol stack
- Demonstration establishes communication link between an
Ericsson base station testbed and an emulated Keysight user
equipment
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) and Ericsson have
collaborated to create a pre-standard 6G network proof of concept
that will be shown at the IEEE International Conference on
Communications 2024. Presented at Ericsson’s booth, #318, the
demonstration will showcase a prototype of 6G protocol stack using
an Ericsson base station and an emulated user equipment (UE)
provided by Keysight.
Exploring new frequency ranges for 6G wireless communication
systems is underway, leveraging bandwidth and available spectrum.
Using higher spectrum involves overcoming several development
challenges, including the well-understood hurdles related to radio
frequency (RF) propagation in these bands. In addition, the current
5G protocol stack will require modifications to support the larger
bandwidths and higher carrier frequencies necessary for 6G
applications, which have not been tested or deployed in the real
world.
This demonstration, based on Ericsson’s pre-standard 6G concept
and tailored for new spectrum bands, represents an initial step
toward validating a 6G protocol stack. The modified 5G stack has
been created using real-world hardware to establish a connection
between a base station and an emulated UE. Starting with a simple
digital interface, the teams collaborated to test various aspects
of the protocol within the context of wider bandwidths,
demonstrating the stack's potential effectiveness.
Freddie S�dergren, Vice President, Head of Technology &
Strategy for Business Area Networks at Ericsson, said: “As we
navigate the early stages of 6G development, our focus is on
learning and exploring the transformative potential of future
technologies. Exploring new frequency bands creates a collaborative
environment where diverse players can come together to shape the
future contours of connectivity and technological innovation,
ensuring that such advanced technologies are integrated seamlessly
and sustainably into our connected world.”
Giampaolo Tardioli, Vice President, 6G and Next Generation
Technology at Keysight, said: “By working closely with Ericsson
throughout the development process, our two teams have been able to
rapidly create a working link and show the feasibility of this
technology. The learnings from the project are helping us to ensure
that our solutions are 6G capable and ready in time to enable our
customers to be first to market.”
