Ericsson: 6G requirements will be proposed in 2024 At the “5G Evolution Summit” held during the MWC conference in Shanghai, Peng Junjiang, general manager of Ericsson Northeast Asia Research Center, said: “The requirements for 6G will be proposed in 2024. Following the global standards that 3GPP upholds, a complete commercial marketing standard will be ready by 2028″.
In Peng Junjiang’s view: The evolution of 5G is a process of continuous development – the first commercial version of 5G, R15, only supports the most basic functions such as eMBB. Currently, the commercially available R16 supports solutions such as V2X and industrial Internet. The R17 standard is under development, and the research scope of R18 is ready on paper.
