Semiconductors for 6G Wireless Technology Research Report 2024: Opportunities in Cognitive Intelligence at the Core and Edge, Application-specific Chipsets, & Leverage Government Funding and Policies


Dublin, Sept. 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Growth Opportunities in Semiconductors for 6G Wireless Technology" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The analysis provides a qualitative perspective based on developments during the study period, acknowledging that these insights may evolve in the future.

Wireless communication systems rely on semiconductor components, such as PAs, LNAs, and transceivers (together known as RF FEMs), to process signals to and from the radio unit (RU), baseband unit (BBU), and the network core to ensure customers receive the radio signals that carry the data and services.

The communication system relies on other semiconductor components, such as antenna integrated circuits (ICs), envelope trackers, microprocessors, analog devices, and optical components, to process signals as necessary. The type of semiconductors that wireless telecom communication uses has not changed much with the 2G to 5G evolution of technologies. However, the semiconductor components' performance requirements have increased. Hence, the designs, materials, manufacturing, and packaging technologies have evolved with each new wireless communication generation.

Because 5G wireless technology is in the deployment stage, industry leaders have begun discussions about developing the next-gen wireless technology (6G) and plan to begin early commercialization in 2030. The dawn of 6G will represent a new era of communication that will provide new services beyond data. The study discusses distributed and federated learning at the edge, co-inferencing between edge and core, autonomous functioning of end devices, the development of AI-powered human-centric telecom services, joint communication, computing, sensing, and control, and several other concepts, which represent a transformation from radio access network (RAN) architecture to services.

To develop 6G, industry stakeholders are collaborating to plan the components and building blocks of each sub-technology that will lead to the development of the next-gen wireless technology. Initial stakeholder discussions are leading to an understanding that advanced semiconductors with high-performance capabilities (in computing and RF) will be necessary to enable high-speed data transfer and operate at high frequencies.

This analysis focuses on understanding the anticipated changes in 6G wireless communication, particularly in the semiconductor industry, with a specific emphasis on Radio Access Network (RAN) and the edge. The study concentrates on the AI processors and key RF components essential for network RAN and edge applications.
