[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] Samsung Electronics has announced its first-ever '6G Frequency White Paper' and proposed global research to secure frequencies for next-generation 6G communication services. Having succeeded in commercializing 5G for the first time in the world, Samsung Electronics plans to maintain its lead in the next-generation mobile communication competition by leading global standardization and building a technology ecosystem in the 6G field.

On the 8th, Samsung Electronics released the '6G Frequency White Paper: Expansion of the Frequency Domain' on the Samsung Research (SR) website. It proposed that discussions and related research on 6G frequencies should be conducted globally from now on to prepare long-term for 6G commercialization. Based on the judgment that about 10 years are needed to discover candidate frequency bands for ultra-high-speed, large-capacity services such as holograms and XR (Extended Reality) and to commercialize them, Samsung Electronics has taken a proactive approach.

Samsung Electronics expects that ultra-wideband continuous frequencies ranging from hundreds of MHz to tens of GHz will be necessary for such services and suggested considering all possible bands. At the same time, considering that 5G networks will still be operating when 6G is commercialized, it emphasized the importance of securing separate new bands for 6G.

Additionally, to efficiently and flexibly support 6G services using limited frequency resources, it proposed conducting research on regulations and technologies related to frequency usage.

Samsung Electronics also disclosed research results on key candidate technologies related to 6G on the same day. The related technologies include ▲Terahertz band communication ▲Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces ▲Cross-division multiplexing ▲Full-duplex communication ▲AI-based nonlinearity compensation ▲AI-based energy saving.

Samsung Electronics plans to reveal detailed information about its 6G research achievements at the '1st Samsung 6G Forum' to be held on the 13th. A Samsung Electronics official said, "This event was organized to discuss and share future technologies related to 6G, the next-generation mobile communication technology," adding, "This forum, held online, allows anyone to apply for participation through the website until the day of the event."
