India Advances 6G Technology Development with IITs Collaboration

July 27, 2024

India’s Department of Telecommunications (DoT) said in July 2024 that it wanted to improve 6G technology that was already in the country. The project aims to create “Cell-Free” 6G Access Points by working with IIT Roorkee and IIT Mandi. This will help shape the future of mobile communication.

Partnerships for Development

Working together with C-DOT and top Indian Institutes of Technology is very important for developing 6G technology. The main goal of this Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is to build access points, which are necessary for setting up 6G networks.

Objectives of the 6G Project

The 6G project’s goals are to:

Create entry points for radio access networks of the future.
Contribute to making 6G technologies more uniform.
Make things be sold and create intellectual property rights (IPRs).
Prepare a skilled workforce for the changing business world.

Understanding ‘Cell-Free’ Massive MIMO

Cell-based design is how most mobile networks work. ‘Cell-Free’ Massive MIMO technology, on the other hand, uses many access points spread out in an area to work together. The following are some good things about this system: Connectivity everywhere, with fewer dead spots; stronger and more reliable signals; and much faster data speeds for users, especially in areas with lots of people. Overall, this project is a big step forward for improving India’s communications and lays the groundwork for the 6G age that is coming soon.

About 6G telecommunications

The goal for 6G connectivity, which is expected to be available around 2030, is speeds of more than 100 Gbps. Terahertz frequencies will be used, allowing for very low delay of just 1 millisecond. Holographic contact and advanced IoT networks are two important uses. 6G could use network control that is driven by AI to work better. It could be used for new things, like remote surgeries and realistic augmented reality. 6G is also expected to improve connection around the world, filling in broadband gaps in rural areas. Sustainable infrastructure that has less of an effect on the environment is the subject of research.
