<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>The Indian government is gearing up for greater participation in developing global 6G<\/a> standards keeping the local requirements in mind. While South Korea is expected to be the first country to launch a 6G network in 2028, India wants to be a global leader in the innovation of 6G technology-based standards with a scheduled launch in 2030.

India's 6G aspirations to standardise technology
<\/strong>
Despite ongoing delays with the implementation of 5G,
Prime<\/a> Minister Narendra Modi recently said that India would not only adopt 6G by the end of the decade but also play a role in setting global standards. But how likely are the 6G ambitions of India to become a reality, and what's the roadmap?

Devusinh Chauhan, the minister of state for communications, says India wants to take a leadership position and contribute to global standards.

\"India will be in a position to develop a fully indigenous sixth-generation or 6G, a fully indigenous sixth-generation or
6G technology<\/a> stack by the end of this decade,\" he points out. The vision document will enable India to become a leading global supplier of IP, products and solutions of affordable 6G telecom solutions.

The Bharat 6G vision document and 6G test bed will provide an enabling environment for innovation, capacity building and faster technology adoption in the country. To take the matter forward, it has already launched the 6G research and development test bed to provide academic institutions, industries, start-ups, MSMEs a platform to test and validate the evolving ICT technologies. The 6G test bed will help to improve the functional requirement and operational behaviour of telecom equipment and software.

In the words of PM Modi himself, \"We will also work with ITU in standardisation of future technologies.\"

The main ambition now is assuming leadership in 6G. The government wants to increase India’s dominance in wireless data usage and take the lead in establishing 6G standards globally. As the vision document states, it will be done by encouraging local manufacturing of telecom products and solutions and supporting Indian companies and engineers in international discussions around standardization.

DoT's apex council set up to push the 6G agenda focus on new technologies such as Terahertz communication, radio interfaces, tactile Internet, AI for connected intelligence, new encoding methods & waveforms, and chipsets for 6G devices. It will emphasize new device types, human interfaces and machine\/robot communications while driving the utility of NFV, AI and edge computing. IP and product development efforts will gain traction.

Vendors are also chipping into the 6G preparatory initiatives into this extended journey of 6G.

Finnish telecom gear maker
Nokia<\/a> also sees India as the ground for its 6G standardisation work and has already built a team in Bengaluru under Bell Labs.

\"From a standardization perspective, which is standardization for 6G, India is the third largest market for us in terms of talent and is the fastest growing,\" said Nishant Batra, chief technology and strategy officer of Nokia.

Nokia's European counterpart
Ericsson<\/a> also believes that a country like India can be crucial in 6G standardisation. “I think the timeline is excellent. We're starting a long journey to 6G. It is exciting to see India be a part of the very beginning of a global community. The 6G vision is a first great stamping on a very long journey together in the mobile industry,” Magnus Ewerbring, Chief Technology Officer Magnus Ewerbring, CTO, --APAC at Ericsson, said.

Domestic companies like
Tech Mahindra<\/a> (TechM) also created a Task Force on 6G about 14 months ago. They hired engineers and analysts working with different bodies worldwide, from Nordics in Europe, the US, and India.

\"Most of the work that we are doing is strictly confidential and private. But we believe connectivity is at the heart of every transformation you see in enterprise and consumer segments. Hence, I think a constant evolution of generational technology, as far as telecom is concerned, is the only way to go,\" said Manish Vyas, President, Communications, Media and Entertainment Business, and CEO of Network Services.

The new technology on the horizon
<\/strong>
6G is the sixth-generation mobile network currently under early development. The way India and other countries have braced up to embrace the technology through time-bound execution and mindmap, the preparation looks as well laid out plan.

The technology is all-encompassing, as it could include additional cellular frequencies for dramatically faster speeds. Expected to arrive in the early 2030s. One of the goals of 6G cellular technology is to create a cellular network capable of supporting real-time augmented reality, virtual reality, and a future Internet of Things (IoT) model where small smart devices are a ubiquitous presence. 6G will have the potential to provide high-speed internet that is about 1,000 times faster than the 1 Gbps top speed of 5G. It also offers ultra-low latency. India appears to be moving in a direction this time when a new technology is on the horizon to adopt and adapt to it while prominently being part of the standard participating process.

The other capability of 6G is that it will support sustainable battery-powered 6G capable devices. 6G use cases will include remote-controlled factories, constantly communicating self-driven cars and wearable smart talking inputs directly from human senses.

6G shows how human-machine and machine-to-machine communication will be a reality. India has recently secured over 127 patents on 6G from global institutions, and countries like the US are keen to have technology from India.

The vision document has recommended opening more spectrum bands, including the coveted mmWave band. However, higher bands – like the mmWave bands or the THz bands – are alluring because they are relatively vacant and can handle massive amounts of data.

Lessons to be learnt from 5Gi
<\/strong>
India's recent experience with its home-grown standard 5Gi could be an eye opener to the policymakers, a scientific and academic community on what needs to be done on a priority basis and what's to be not chased in pursuit of being the leading voice on the 6G standard.

Meanwhile, Indian telecom operators and global equipment vendors have endorsed the early catching up of 6G technology. Airtel and
Vodafone Idea<\/a> have said an early start into local 6G development will create IP for the Indian telecom ecosystem.

A case in point here could be South Korea. South Korea has already announced that it will launch 6G services in 2028, two earlier than the global 6G services launch.

Aiming to secure an early dominance of the future wireless frequencies, South Korea's decision to advance the launch of the 6G service is because it said the country could only achieve industrial innovation with a global competitive edge in the 6G field.

Innovation has to start early, telcos say.

Randeep Sekhon, CTO of
Bharti Airtel<\/a>, says India is getting into the journey of 6G is the right time. India has the brainpower to contribute to R&D. We should shape the 6G agenda. The intellectual property we should create as Indians in contributing to this 6G journey and making it relevant to the needs of countries like India will be the right time,” said Sekhon.

Jagbir Singh, CTO, of Vodafone Idea, says some vendors must be working on the 6G. \"We should start working quickly and make a full-fledged vendor ecosystem.\"

Sekhon said When we started discussing how India can contribute to 5G standards, we were late as 5G was already in commercial service in some countries. But this is the right time where contribution towards shaping the 6G agenda can be made from India.

India was lagging with 5Gi as 3GPP’s global 5G standard was deployed globally. \"We can't come at the last minute with our standard and deploy it simultaneously for any specific deployment, and there needs to be a cycle of 3-4 years. 5Gi, however, will give us the learnings to contribute (in 6G), Singh says.

The standard has now been merged with 3GPP's global 5G standard following opposition from telcos, chipset and device makers, and gear vendors.

On 5Gi, there was a concern as telcos were concerned over interoperability for global compatibility with various handsets and service providers. Adopting a local
5Gi standard<\/a> over the global 5G standard would worsen things for all parties — from telecom vendors, cellular service providers, smartphone makers, and consumers.

This umbrella body develops protocols for mobile telecommunications. 3GPP’s standards have already been adopted globally for commercial live networks.

Cellular operator association (Coai) DG S P Kochhar says, \"...we should follow global standards to enable cost-effective deployments and interoperability, which result in benefits for customers\" echoing the same.

RK Upadhyaya, chairman, C-DoT says, \"India has taken the lead in 6G..we are early, and we will put forward our case in 3GPP to get our ideas into the standards and generate SEPs for India\", hinting at changing the tack of any delay in working towards 6G standards globally as was in the case of 5Gi.

Caution not to repeat earlier mistakes
<\/strong>
With 5Gi experience in the backyard, India, for the sake of compatibility, should seek a local standard seamlessly incorporated into the global ecosystem and not run as “isolated islands\" or as a parallel standard. Though the telecom standards body, Telecom Standards Development Society, India (TSDSI), had stated that there were no issues in those areas,

India must also refrain from insisting on developing standards that fail to find an addressable market. 5Gi was meant to expand rural coverage. It was also a big deterrent for telcos even to contemplate any favourable inclination to use it besides the compatibility and inter-operable issues leading to the lack of an ecosystem. Rural consumers don't make a market that big for that risk. Mahesh Uppal, founder, CommFirst, a telecom consultancy firm, says India needs to be a team player and should endeavour not to fragment the market and distort the economies of scale.

Collaborative approach
<\/strong>
The vision document stresses building a coalition with like-minded 6G global alliances.

So, amidst the 5G rollout in India is geared up for the next generation of telecom technology identifying priority areas for research by involving all stakeholders, including industry, academia, and service providers, spanning theoretical and simulation studies, proof-of-concept prototypes and demonstrations, and early-market interventions through start-ups, to take the lead.

Telcos, including Airtel and Vodafone Idea, said that there is a need for the Indian telecom industry and academia to join forces with the telecom department and contribute to 6G standard building alongside 3GPP's cooperation. Instead of imposing, India should collaborate with vendors and telcos and work closely with 3GPP to be a sufficient force and voice in the standards build-up for 6G.

深入:印度的6克野心需要5 gi经验教训

印度最近的过去的经验在其本土标准5胃肠道可能是一个令人惊异的决策者,科学和学术共同体在优先级的基础上需要做什么和什么是不追追求领先的声音在6 g标准。

印度政府正准备发动更大的参与发展全球6克标准保持当地的要求。而韩国有望成为第一个国家推出6 g网络在2028年,印度想要成为一个全球领先的基于6克的创新技术标准,计划在2030年发射。

印度6克的愿望标准化技术

尽管目前延迟5 g的实现,'部长纳伦德拉•莫迪最近表示,印度不仅会采用6克的最后十年,但在制定全球标准也扮演了一定的角色。但6 g的可能性有多大的野心成为现实,印度的路线图是什么?

Devusinh Chauhan,通讯部长说,印度希望领导地位和导致全球标准。

“印度将能够开发一个完全自主第六代或6克,完全自主的第六代6 g技术堆栈的这十年,”他指出。远景文档将使印度成为一个领先的全球IP供应商,产品和解决方案的6 g电信解决方案。

巴拉特6 g远景文档和6 g试验台将提供一个鼓励创新的环境,能力建设和加快技术采用。此事向前,它已经推出了6克研发试验台提供学术机构,行业,创业,男男同性恋者一个平台测试和验证发展ICT技术。6 g试验台将有助于改善电信设备的功能要求和操作行为和软件。

在莫迪点自己的话说,“我们也将在未来技术的标准化与ITU。”

现在的主要目标是假设在6克的领导地位。政府希望增加印度的统治地位在无线数据使用和全球率先建立6 g标准。远景文档状态,它将通过鼓励当地制造业的电信产品和解决方案和支持国际印度公司和工程师讨论标准化。

点顶点委员会建立推动6克议程专注于太赫兹通信等新技术,无线接口,触觉互联网、人工智能与智能,新的编码方法和波形,为6克设备芯片组。它将强调新设备类型,开车时人类接口和机器/机器人通信NFV的效用,AI和边缘计算。知识产权和产品开发的努力会获得牵引力。

供应商也凿到6克预备计划扩展之旅6克。

芬兰电信设备制造商诺基亚也将印度视为地面6克的标准化工作,已经建立了一个团队在班加罗尔在贝尔实验室。

”从标准化的角度来看,这是标准化6克,印度是第三大美国方面的人才和市场增长最快的,”作者Nishant巴特拉说,诺基亚的首席技术和战略官。

诺基亚的欧洲爱立信还认为,像印度这样的国家可以在6克标准化是至关重要的。“我认为时间很好。我们开始一次长途旅行6克。是激动人心的印度是一个部分的一个全球社区的开始。6克的愿景是第一大冲压一起在一个非常漫长的旅程在手机行业,“马格努斯Ewerbring,马格努斯Ewerbring首席技术官,首席技术官,——亚太地区在爱立信,说。

国内公司科技马辛德拉(TechM)还创建了一个6 g大约14个月前。他们聘请了工程师和分析师工作与不同机构在世界范围内,从北欧国家在欧洲,美国和印度。

“大部分的工作,我们所做的是严格保密和隐私的。但我们相信连接是你看到的每个转换的核心企业和消费者细分。因此,我认为一代技术的不断进化,作为电信而言,是唯一的出路,”说,总统Manish Vyas以及通信、媒体和娱乐业务,和网络服务公司的首席执行官。

这项新技术在地平线上

6克是第六代移动网络正在早期发展。印度和其他国家已经做好了接受技术通过有时限的执行和构思,准备看起来也制定了计划。

技术是全方位的,因为它可能包括额外的细胞频率显著更快的速度。预计到2030年代初。6 g蜂窝技术的目标之一是创建一个蜂窝网络能够支持实时增强现实、虚拟现实和未来物联网(物联网)模型,小智能设备是一个无处不在的存在。6克将有潜力提供高速互联网约1000倍1 Gbps的最高时速5克。它还提供了超低延迟。印度似乎是朝着一个方向这一次当地平线上新技术采纳和适应它而突出被标准的参与过程的一部分。

6克的其他功能是,它将支持可持续电池6克设备能力。6克的用例包括遥控工厂,不断代的无人驾驶汽车和可穿戴智能交流说的输入直接从人类的感官所感觉到。

6克显示人机和机器对机器通信将成为现实。印度最近获得了超过127项专利6克从全球机构,和美国等国家热衷于技术来自印度。

远景文档建议开设更多的光谱带,包括令人垂涎的mmWave乐队。然而,高乐队-像mmWave乐队或太赫兹波段是诱人的,因为他们是相对空缺,可以处理大量的数据。

5胃肠道提供了值得借鉴的经验

印度最近的经验与本土的标准5胃肠道可能是一个令人惊异的决策者,一个科学和学术社区需要做什么优先的不追追求领先的声音在6 g标准。

与此同时,印度电信运营商和全球设备供应商支持的早期迎头赶上6 g技术。Airtel和沃达丰的想法说提前开始进入当地6克发展将为印度电信创建IP的生态系统。

一个例子可能是韩国。韩国已经宣布将发射6 g服务在2028年,两个比全球6 g服务启动。

为了安全的早期统治未来无线频率,韩国决定提前6克的发射服务,因为它表示,中国只能实现产业创新与全球6克领域的竞争优势。

创新开始早,电信公司说。

Randeep Sekhon,首席技术官的Bharti Airtel说,印度是进入6克的旅程是正确的时间。印度有智力有助于研发。我们应该塑造6克的议程。印第安人的知识产权,我们应该创建贡献6克的旅程,使它与印度这样的国家的需要将正确的时间,“Sekhon说。

Jagbir辛格,首席技术官,沃达丰的主意,说一些厂商必须在6克。“我们应该快速开始工作,做一个成熟的供应商生态系统。”

Sekhon说当我们开始讨论印度如何导致5 g标准,我们迟到了5 g在一些国家已经在商业服务。但这是正确的时间贡献在哪里形成6克议程可以来自印度。

印度落后与5 gi 3 gpp的全球5 g标准在全球部署。“我们不能在最后一刻来与我们的标准和同时为任何特定的部署,部署它,需要有3 - 4年一个周期。5 gi,然而,将给我们的知识贡献(6克),辛格说。

标准已经与3 gpp的全球合并5 g标准电信公司的反对后,芯片和设备制造商,设备供应商。

胃肠道5日,有一个问题在电信公司关注互操作性为全球兼容各种手机和服务提供商。采用当地的5 gi标准在全球的5 g标准会恶化为各方——从电信厂商,手机服务提供商,智能手机制造商和消费者。

读也

印度电信公司和设备和芯片供应商,随着手机制造商,反对5 gi的公司作为国家标准,引用兼容性问题与全球5 g的3 gpp标准。这把伞的身体发展用于移动通讯的协议。3 gpp标准已经实施的全球商业网络生活。

移动电话运营商协会(Coai) DG S P Kochhar说,“…我们应该遵循国际标准,使有效的部署和互操作性,导致客户”回应相同的好处。

RK Upadhyaya董事长C-DoT说,“印度已经率先6克. .我们初期,我们将在3 gpp提出我们的例子中,让我们的想法进入印度的标准和生成SEPs”,暗示改变任何延迟的策略在朝着全球6 g标准的5 gi。

注意不要重复以前的错误

与5 gi经验在后院,印度,为了兼容性,应该寻求当地标准无缝地整合到全球生态系统,而不是作为“孤岛”或并行运行标准。虽然电信标准组织、电信标准发展社会,印度(TSDSI)曾表示,在那些领域,没有问题

印度还必须避免坚持发展标准,找不到一个可寻址的市场。5 gi是为了扩大农村保险。也是一个大的威慑电信公司甚至考虑任何有利的倾向使用它除了兼容性和内部可操作问题导致缺乏一个生态系统。农村消费者不要把一个大的市场风险。马赫什•Uppal创始人CommFirst电信咨询公司表示,印度需要一个团队球员,应该努力而不是碎片市场,扭曲了规模经济。

合作方式

远景文档强调建立一个联盟与志趣相投的全球联盟6克。

所以,在5克在印度推出适合下一代电信技术识别重点领域的研究涉及到所有利益相关者,包括产业、学术界、和服务提供者,跨越理论和仿真研究,概念原型和示威游行,通过创业和市场较早的干预措施,带头。

电信公司,包括旅馆和沃达丰的主意,说需要印度电信行业和学术界与电信部门和贡献6 g标准建设与3 gpp的合作。而不是强加,印度应该与供应商和电信公司合作,与3 gpp密切合作足够的力量和声音在6克的标准建设。

<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>The Indian government is gearing up for greater participation in developing global 6G<\/a> standards keeping the local requirements in mind. While South Korea is expected to be the first country to launch a 6G network in 2028, India wants to be a global leader in the innovation of 6G technology-based standards with a scheduled launch in 2030.

India's 6G aspirations to standardise technology
<\/strong>
Despite ongoing delays with the implementation of 5G,

It was also a big deterrent for telcos even to contemplate any favourable inclination to use it besides the compatibility and inter-operable issues leading to the lack of an ecosystem. Rural consumers don't make a market that big for that risk. Mahesh Uppal, founder, CommFirst, a telecom consultancy firm, says India needs to be a team player and should endeavour not to fragment the market and distort the economies of scale.

Collaborative approach
<\/strong>
The vision document stresses building a coalition with like-minded 6G global alliances.

So, amidst the 5G rollout in India is geared up for the next generation of telecom technology identifying priority areas for research by involving all stakeholders, including industry, academia, and service providers, spanning theoretical and simulation studies, proof-of-concept prototypes and demonstrations, and early-market interventions through start-ups, to take the lead.

Telcos, including Airtel and Vodafone Idea, said that there is a need for the Indian telecom industry and academia to join forces with the telecom department and contribute to 6G standard building alongside 3GPP's cooperation. Instead of imposing, India should collaborate with vendors and telcos and work closely with 3GPP to be a sufficient force and voice in the standards build-up for 6G.
