Ericsson and University of Texas Collaborate Further on 6G Technology

Ericsson

The University of Texas (UT) at Austin and Ericsson are working together on earth-augmented realism work that will be driven by 6G. The update reaffirms the company’s desire to lay the groundwork for the next smooth and comprehensive XR (extended realities) experiences, even in the most difficult use scenarios.

The First Broad 6G Installations Are Planned To Use XR Technology

As the first widespread 6G deployments happen around 2030, the Swedish supplier predicted that XR technology would lead to a paradigm change in how users interact between the cyber and actual worlds, acting as a key enabler of both fully digital metaverses and the embedding of a virtual layer within the physical sphere. Three internationally renowned professors from UT Austin are heading the cross-disciplinary team conducting the study, and they are working alongside Ericsson’s own specialists in the field.

Earlier in 2022, Ericsson became a Level-1 member of the 6G@UT research facility at UT. With an announced three-year partnership concentrating on XR streaming, sensing, and communication designs, it is elevating its commitment to Level-IV participation today. In the 6G 2030 timespan, XR is viewed as having a significant amount of potential to enable a variety of highly creative utilisation, particularly those that draw on environment protection and can be executed in outdoor areas, reinforcing the need for consistently low latency and accurate spatial charting.

Eric Wang, project research leader at Ericsson, said: “XR is already here but has a huge potential to go even further with the eventual arrival of 6G. Ericsson wants to ensure users have the best XR experience even as the number of connected devices and demands of the applications increase. This project addresses that paradigm shift, putting latency front and center so it keeps up with changing demands, as data-intensive uses like holographic communication become more common.”
