6G Vision, Performance Targets, and Candidate Radio Technologies

Get ahead of the 6G curve with technical insights from industry-leading experts Dr. Nishith Tripathi and Dr. Jeffrey Reed

Design, test, and validate tomorrow's wireless systems today

While 5G continues its global rollout, 6G research is already defining the next decade of wireless innovation. This comprehensive white paper cuts through the speculation to deliver actionable technical guidance on what 6G will actually require—and how to prepare for it now.

Inside this white paper you'll find:

• ITU IMT-2030 performance targets – Peak data rates up to 200 Gbps, sub-millisecond latency, and new capabilities in sensing, AI integration, and sustainability
• Proven testbed results – Real-world R&S demonstrations of sub-THz links, AI-assisted channel estimation, ICAS waveforms, and >1 GHz bandwidth prototypes
• Candidate technologies analyzed – OTFS, RIS, cell-free MIMO, holographic beamforming, spectrum sharing, neural receivers, and more
• Practical test strategies – Measurement approaches for validating 6G waveforms, AI-native PHY blocks, ISAC systems, and FR3/sub-THz components
• Sustainability roadmap – Energy efficiency KPIs, circular economy indicators, and near-zero-energy communications

Whether you're developing 6G infrastructure, planning spectrum strategy, or building test capabilities for the 2030 rollout, this white paper gives you the technical foundation to move from concept to implementation with confidence.
