The next generation of the cellular ecosystem will involve integrating satellite communications using low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellites, leveraging AI in space to solve challenges of time, system reliability, data quality, and performance. The latest development in the evolution of the mobile wireless communication infrastructure, 6G, is expected to provide more inclusive and sustainable connectivity, operating faster, handling more bandwidth, and delivering lower latencies.

The resulting enhanced connectivity could foment new applications in areas such as virtual and augmented reality, AI, connected systems, ubiquitous coverage through non-terrestrial networks, and others. These advances demand the latest in wireless communications tools to accelerate 6G system design to optimize the digital, RF, and antenna array components of 6G systems.

This Special Report presents some of the trends and solutions emerging in this rapidly progressing arena from leaders in the industry.
