"Just a year after NTT Docomo concluded a test with radio waves in the 4.8GHz wireless band, which found that indoor 6G communication speeds can be improved up to 18% compared with conventional methods, the firm has "successfully conducted the world's first" outdoor demonstration using real-time transceiver systems with AI-powered wireless technology for 6G. The operator has already been at the forefront of a string of developments moving towards the"
"NTT said that in wireless communications, fluctuations in the radio propagation environment can cause unstable connection quality. To address this issue, the three parties have been developing and testing "AI-AI technology", which applies artificial intelligence to both the transmitting and receiving sides of the wireless interface to optimise modulation and demodulation schemes according to radio conditions, enabling stable communication across diverse use cases."
"The latest field trials aimed to verify whether this new technology can maintain stable performance in outdoor environments, where radio conditions vary greatly due to temperature, weather and obstacles. The trials are said to have confirmed that the use of AI improved throughput (transmission speed) by up to 100% compared with conventional non-AI-based methods under the same environmental conditions, effectively doubling the communication speed."
NTT Docomo, together with Nokia Bell Labs and SK Telecom, conducted the world's first outdoor demonstration of real-time AI-powered transceiver systems for 6G in Yokosuka. AI-AI technology applies artificial intelligence to both transmitting and receiving sides to optimise modulation and demodulation schemes according to radio conditions. Indoor tests a year earlier showed up to 18% speed improvement. Outdoor field trials across three environments confirmed AI can improve throughput by up to 100% compared with non-AI methods, stabilising connections despite temperature, weather, obstacles, and terminal motion, effectively doubling communication speed.
