6G mobile networks could reach one terabit per second — researchers unveil record-breaking wireless transmission technology that aims to quadruple its performance

In a potentially promising breakthrough, researchers from Osaka University and IMRA America have unveiled a single channel optical wireless link that can achieve speeds of up to 240GB/s, a new world record. The team is now setting its sights on quadrupling this performance to reach an unprecedented 1TB/s.

eeNews Europe reports that the researchers used a stimulated Brillouin scattering laser to generate signals at 300GHz for 6G networks. This laser employs interactions between sound and light waves to produce a precise signal.

The team then established a 300GHz-band wireless communication system that utilizes this laser-based signal generator in both the transmitter and receiver.

Highest transmission rate in the world

The sub-terahertz band, ranging from 100 GHz to 300 GHz, is the playground for these 6G transmitters and receivers. To further boost the data transmission rate of these wireless links, the researchers used a sophisticated approach called “multi-level signal modulation”. However, this method becomes highly sensitive to noise when operating at the top end of these frequencies.

For efficient functioning, multi-level signal modulation relies on precise reference signals. When these signals start to shift, phase noise negatively impacts the performance of the multi-level signal modulation. To counter this, the system uses online digital signal processing (DSP) to demodulate the signals in the receiver and increase the data rate.

Tadao Nagatsuma, the project leader, proudly announced, “Our team achieved a single-channel transmission rate of 240GB/s. This is the highest transmission rate obtained so far in the world using online DSP.”

The researchers are optimistic that with the use of multiplexing techniques, which allow for more than one channel to be used, and more sensitive receivers, they can push the data rate to 1TB/s, setting the stage for the next generation of 6G mobile networks.

A drone that can freely fold four arms.Great potential for passing through narrow spaces and grabbing objects

アームをたたむと可能性が広がる。カリフォルニア大学バークレー校のHiPeRLabにて、4本のアームを任意に折りたためられるクアッドコプターの研究が進められています。プロペラが2枚あれば飛行はできるので、たとえば2本をたたんで細い場所を通ったり、4本たたんで狭い穴に落ちたり、はたまた2本で荷物を挟んで運搬することもできちゃいます。Video: HiPeR Lab/YouTubeただ関節があるだけアームの関節には、電池やモーターなどがなく、プロペラの回転のみで開閉可能。余計な機構がないぶん軽量化でき、トランスフォームは一瞬で行ないます。対角にあるアームを折りたためば落ちることはなく、たたんだプロペラの推進力により、その場でクルクル回って制御を失うことはありません。またモーターを全部オフにして4本のアームを同時にたためば、横に渡したロープにもたれて休憩することも可能。ミッションの途中で待機できますね。Image: SEMANTIC SCHOLARトランスフォームするドローンたちこれまでにも、アームを傾けて4輪車になったり、四方に広がったアームをせばめて細長くなるドローンなどもありました。可変メカ搭載だと、狭い場所での災害救助や偵察、緊急キットや食料の配達にも応用できますね。そのうち宅急便もこうしたドローンを採用するでしょうか?
