Looking beyond 6G [UTokyo-IIS Bulletin Vol.9]
Since South Korea and the United States became the first countries to commercially launch fifth generation (5G) mobile wireless networks in 2019, researchers have been engaged in a fierce competition to develop viable technologies for 6G networks. Shinya Sugiura, Associate Professor of the Institute of Industrial Science at the University of Tokyo (UTokyo-IIS), says his mission is to formulate concepts - backed up with mathematical formulae and simulations - for element technologies for mobile communication that he hopes will prove revolutionary in the decades ahead.
