6G Development through Collaboration, Research, and Dynamic, Adaptive Testing

The success of 6G requires a fundamental transformation or a profound change in perspective. To make this paradigm shift in technology a success the techniques in developing, testing, and training this new cellular generation must change. Cloud, AI, Satellite, and performance are key to unlocking the possibilities of 6G.

Executive Summary

This paper presents an overview of the crucial role of lab testing in the development, and deployment of 6G networks, the next evolutionary leap in wireless communication technology. With the arrival of 6G, it is imperative to establish a comprehensive research and testing framework to ensure its successful implementation. Traditional RF techniques are important but to realize the true value of 6G, higher layer test techniques will be vital to prove the value of this new generation of cellular networks.
