Samsung to implement AI in 6G to improve network quality
06 March, 2025
Samsung
published its first white paper on 6G back in 2020, and today, the company has
more to say about where it is on the road to the future in communications. The new
white paper stated the company aims to integrate the latest AI technology
throughout the telecommunication system and improve network quality for a
future-oriented and sustainable user experience.
A white
paper generally is an informative document, laying out future plans in simple
terms, and in this case, Samsung explained how 6G will enhance and accelerate
connectivity. There will be five services expected to profit from the sixth-gen
wireless networks: Immersive XR
for entertainment, healthcare and science;
Digital Twin
for virtual replicas of physical entities (imagine holograms) for security
reasons;
Massive
Communication that allows constant connectivity between multiple sensors,
machines, and terminals;
Ubiquitous
Connectivity, expanding service areas and interoperating between terrestrial
and non-terrestrial (satellite) networks;
Fixed
Wireless Access (FWA), which is just like wired connectivity but without the
wire.
This will
all be enhanced by AI technologies, which is said to not only make the user
experience future-proof but will also help reduce costs, enhance energy
efficiency and expand service coverage.
This all sounds great on paper, but the question
of when it would happen remains. Samsung revealed it expects the 6G technology
standards to be finalized in 2030, with momentum in research and development to
intensify soon.
