German operator Deutsche Telekom announced it will be leading a 6G initiative as part of a wider program funded by the German government.
The research project, dubbed ‘6G NeXt’, is part of the “6G industry projects for research into integrated systems and sub-technologies for 6th generation mobile communications” program, which is funded by Germany’s Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
Deutsche Telekom noted that the ‘6G NeXt’ project, which involves nine partners from industry and science, had its kick-off last week in Berlin.
The European telco said that future XR applications and services will generate huge amounts of data that needs to be transmitted with high speed and reliability. One of the core tasks of the project is to develop a high-speed software layer with native AI network optimization for real-time data processing and enabling a dynamic distribution of complex computing tasks to the optimal location.
The 6G NeXt project will seek to develop a scalable, modular and flexible end-to-end infrastructure, which will be implemented at different locations as a test bed platform for research on the complex XR applications.
Deutsche Telekom said that the initiative will initially focus on two challenging use cases:
-A novel anti-collision system for aviation using the example of drones at airports with mixed air traffic. The telco explained that this application requires low latency, synchronization of data streams and the ability to compute data in a distributed manner (split computing).
-An interactive end-to-end transmission of real-time 3D holographic video with photorealistic content and realistic 3D depth for video conferencing and monitoring. This application requires high bit rates upstream and downstream as well as distributed and intelligent video. Read More...
