The 6G research team will develop novel solutions in collaboration with Ericsson Global Research teams, thus contributing in projects like Channel Modelling and Hybrid Beamforming, Low energy Networks, Cloud evolution and sustainable compute, Trustworthy, Explainable and bias-free AI algorithms, Autonomous agents for Intent Management Functions, Integrated sensing and communication functions for man-machine continuum and Compute offload to Edge-Computing cloud amongst others.
6G technology has the potential to unlock new frontiers in connectivity. It envisions the seamless integration of artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and the Internet of Things into our daily lives. Imagine ultra-realistic virtual worlds, remote surgeries conducted with precision, and autonomous systems that can anticipate our needs.
Ericsson is partnering with Indian Institute of Technology Madras’ (IIT Madras) Centre for Responsible AI (CeRAI) for Radio, AI and Cloud research. AI Research is of high importance to Ericsson as the 6G networks would be autonomously driven by AI algorithms.
