Nokia and NTT develop AI air interface and sub-THz spectrum for 6G

Nokia, NTT DOCOMO, and NTT achieved two milestones on the path to 6G:Implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into the radio air interface. By pairing a AI-based learned waveform in a transmitter with a deep-learning receiver, Nresearchers were able to design and implement a learning air interface that transmits data efficiently under many different scenarios. This AI/ML-based implementation significantly reduces signaling...
