Nokia and test equipment manufacturer Rohde & Schwarz announced today that the two parties have successfully developed and tested an AI-driven 6G wireless receiver, aiming to overcome the coverage problems faced by next-generation mobile networks in high-frequency bands. Actual measurements show that the new technology can increase the uplink coverage distance by 10% to 25%, which means that 6G may be laid on the basis of existing 5G sites, significantly reducing deployment costs.
Currently, the high-frequency band (7–15GHz) potentially used by 6G is more prone to signal attenuation, and the industry is generally worried about insufficient coverage. Nokia Bell Labs said that AI can automatically identify and compensate for wireless transmission distortion, thereby improving coverage, throughput efficiency and energy efficiency.
This verification uses R&S's latest signal generator and spectrum analyzer for AI inference analysis, and the effect has been verified by actual measurements. The results will be publicly displayed at the Brooklyn 6G Summit in New York on November 6.
As the AI-native 6G trend accelerates, the industry is evolving towards intelligent wireless infrastructure, and the global communications technology competition landscape is being reshaped.
