Samsung has provided insight into its plans for 6G – including a launch date two years ahead of the generally-used 2030 benchmark – in a research document<\/strong><\/a> entitled ‘6G – The Next Hyper-Connected Experience for All.’<\/p>\n

While 5G is designed to achieve a 20Gbps peak data rate, Samsung said it aims to provide a peak 6G data rate of 1,000Gbps and a user experienced data rate of 1Gbps.<\/p>\n

Additionally, it aims to offer air latency of less than 100 \u03bcs, end-to-end latency of less than 1ms, and “extremely low delay jitter in the order of microseconds”.<\/p>\n

This would result in user-experienced latency of less than 10ms, Samsung said.<\/p>\n

Samsung said that 6G connectivity that meets these aims will bring a number of new services to customers, including XR, Mobile Holograms, and Digital Replicas.<\/p>\n

XR<\/h3>\n

XR is a new term that combines VR, AR, and mixed reality (MR), Samsung explained.<\/p>\n

“It has attracted great attention and opened new horizons in various fields including entertainment, medicine, science, education, and manufacturing industries,” said Samsung.<\/p>\n

Samsung said that current AR technology requires 55.3Mbps to support 8K display technology.<\/p>\n

However, Samsung said that ‘truly immersive AR,’ will require 0.44Gbps throughput, while XR media streaming could require similar throughput to 16K UHD – requiring 0.9Gbps throughput.<\/p>\n

“The current user experienced data rate of 5G is not sufficient for seamless streaming,” Samsung said.<\/p>\n

Mobile hologram<\/h3>\n

Samsung said that due to “the unprecedented rate of advances in high-resolution rendering, wearable displays, and wireless networks,” mobile devices of the future will render media for 3D hologram displays.<\/p>\n

3D holograms will present gestures and facial expressions through a holographic display, the company explained.<\/p>\n

The content to be displayed is obtained through real-time capture, transmission, and 3D rendering techniques, said Samsung.<\/p>\n

This requires extremely high data rate transmission, it explained, which is “hundreds of times greater than current 5G systems.”<\/p>\n

A hologram display over a mobile device with a 6.7-inch display will require at least 0.58Tbps, for example, while human-sized holograms will require a connection of several Tbps.<\/p>\n

To reduce the magnitude of data transfer rates, AI can be leveraged in the 6G era to compress, extract, and render hologram data.<\/p>\n

Digital replicas<\/h3>\n

Samsung also explained how AI, sensors, and communication technologies will allow users to replicate physical entities – including people and even places – in a virtual world.<\/p>\n

This, known as a digital twin, will allow users to explore and monitor the ‘reality’ within a virtual world “without temporal or spatial constraints.”<\/p>\n

Samsung said that users will even be able to forgo mere observation, and instead actually interact with digital twins using VR devices or holographical displays.<\/p>\n

Again, however, 5G is insufficient to enable this technology – to duplicate a 1m x 1m area, for example, a throughput rate of about 0.8Tbps is required.<\/p>\n

Samsung estimates that the market size for digital replicas will be about $26 billion in 2025.<\/p>\n
