With the fast adoption of drones, robots, XR (extended reality), and other devices, signal processing for the next generation of connectivity known as 6G will be much more demanding than for fifth-generation mobile communication systems (5G). Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) has developed a signal processing method able to cope with the expected high device density in the 6G era.
The method involves a combination of quantum computing and traditional computing. NICT has successfully demonstrated the efficiency of the method through outdoor experiments, handling 10 devices simultaneously under the anticipated massive 6G connectivity requirements.
The result represents a significant step toward realizing large-scale machine-to-machine communications in future 6G networks, including applications involving drones, robots, and XR devices.
