WILMINGTON, Delaware (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDCC), a cellular and video know-how analysis and improvement firm, at present introduced that it has been awarded funding to assist 5 Horizon Europe 6G Flagship analysis tasks. Specifically, the 5 flagship tasks embrace 6G-XR, CENTRIC, PREDICT-6G, 6G-BRICKS, and 6G-SHINE, every uniquely devoted to enabling revolutionary know-how development and experimental infrastructures in 6G.

InterDigital’s awarded flagship tasks are a part of a portfolio of 35 analysis, innovation and trial tasks curated by the EU’s Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) to allow the evolution of 5G ecosystems and promote 6G analysis in Europe. Jointly led by the European Commission and 6G-IA trade affiliation, the SNS JU is accountable for fostering European management and know-how sovereignty in 6G whereas boosting 5G deployment throughout the European continent. The program has allotted upwards of €250 million to fund the portfolio of 6G flagship tasks.

“We are honoured to be awarded five Horizon Europe 6G flagship projects to help shape the 6G vision. Being selected for each of these unique projects will enable us to leverage our research heritage and expertise that will shape 6G development in Europe through the future,” mentioned InterDigital’s Chief Technology Officer Rajesh Pankaj. “A competitive research environment helps drive our industry forward by pushing the limits of what is possible in the wireless technology landscape. These awards demonstrate InterDigital’s continuous contributions to the European wireless research and innovation ecosystem, as we build upon a strong record of engagement in the Horizon 2020 5G public-private partnership program.”

Of the 35 tasks inside the SNS JU Horizon Europe portfolio, these awarded to InterDigital are aimed toward exploring novel applied sciences and system architectures to be adopted in industrial networks within the medium or long run, in addition to creating EU-wide experimentation platforms that may function a sandbox to validate technical 6G enablers.

CENTRIC challenge targets the event of radio entry applied sciences in the direction of fulfilling the last word imaginative and prescient of a 6G person centric Artificial Intelligence (AI) native air interface.

PREDICT-6G challenge focuses on laying the foundations of an AI-powered Digital Twin framework to foretell the behaviour of the end-to-end 6G community and utilizing this framework to reinforce the reliability and time sensitivity of the community.

6G-SHINE challenge in flip focuses on the design of short-range communication protocols that may meet the acute bandwidth, latency and vitality necessities rising for 6G.

6G-XR challenge targets the event of an experimental analysis infrastructure to guage and validate the efficiency of key 6G candidate applied sciences, elements, and architectures, with give attention to enabling subsequent technology Extended Reality (XR) companies.

6G-BRICKS challenge focuses on establishing an experimental analysis facility to guage two key 6G candidate applied sciences, specifically Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) and cell-free huge a number of enter a number of output (MIMO).
