Samsung Electronics Collaborates with Princeton University on 6G R&D

Participation as a Founding Member in the 'NextG Initiative Industry-Academia Cooperation'

Samsung Electronics announced on the 13th that its advanced research and development organization, Samsung Research America (SRA), will collaborate with Princeton University in the United States on next-generation 6G (6th generation mobile communication) research and development (R&D).

SRA is participating as a founding member of Princeton University's 'NextG Initiative Industry-Academic Cooperation Program.' It plans to lead technological innovation in 6G wireless and networking systems.

NextG is a consortium launched last year by Princeton's School of Engineering and Applied Science to increase knowledge exchange between industry and academia and to support the development and innovation of next-generation communication technologies. It covers research topics and application areas such as cloud and edge networks, intelligent sensing, and network resilience.

Global communication and semiconductor companies such as Ericsson, Intel, MediaTek, Nokia Bell Labs, Qualcomm Technologies, and Vodafone are participating as founding members of NextG alongside SRA.

Andrea Goldsmith, Dean of Princeton's School of Engineering and Applied Science, said, "The best academic research to realize the potential of wireless networks is achieved through close collaboration between faculty and industry technology leaders," adding, "The goal of NextG is to promote in-depth cooperation focused on technology as well as policy."

Charlie Jang, Executive Director of SRA, stated, "We will actively support Princeton researchers to continue innovating and develop technologies that can bring major breakthroughs in 6G."

Samsung Electronics established the Next-Generation Communication Research Center under Samsung Research (SR) in May 2019 to conduct advanced technology research. It published the '6G White Paper' in July 2020 and the '6G Frequency White Paper' in May 2022.

Samsung is currently serving as chair of the 6G Framework Working Group under the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a United Nations agency, and as chair of the Frequency Working Group of the Global mobile Suppliers Association (GSA). In May 2022, it held the first Samsung 6G Forum, leading the activation of the next-generation mobile communication ecosystem.
