White paper on broadband connectivity in 6G published: BRAVE inside

A white paper on broadband connectivity in 6G has been recently published by an international consortium of academic and industrial expert entities. This white paper explores the road to implementing broadband connectivity in future 6G wireless systems. The BRAVE partners have actively contributed the white paper (regarding use cases and THz communications perspective) through the dissemination of…

Sub-THz mesh backhaul

The long-term limitations of 5G standards are stressed already by the telecommunication industry and community research , for e.g. the delivery of ultra-low-latency broadband services, or the emergence of ubiquitous intelligence [1]. Next-generation wireless networks are imagined to be faster (1 Tbps for instance), more reactive (sub-ms latency), ultra-reliable and denser, thus allowing for very…

Release of Deliverable D1.1: Preliminary status on Regulation

BRAVE partners are proud to release their new deliverable D1.1 on the Spectrum regulation status. Apprehension of the spectrum regulations evolution to support new telecommunication usage in millimetre-wave and sub-THz frequency ranges requires a general understanding of the spectrum management framework at global, regional and national levels. Deliverable D1.1 provides an overview of the main regulatory…

How B5G frequencies will further enhance the next-generation wireless networks performance

The BRAVE partners have launched in January 2018 an ambitious research project to explore how the sub-TeraHertz (sub-THz) spectrum above 90 GHz could make the future wireless communication technologies outperform 5G. The millimeter-wave bands between 10 and 90 GHz are extensively considered today for 5G deployments. Their connectivity range is much shorter than offered by…

Recent research results: Adaptive PSK Modulation Scheme in the Presence of Phase Noise

S. Bicais from CEA has presented at SPAWC 2018 a research study dedicated to the definition of a link adaption scheme for PSK modulation corrupted by strong phase noise. Phase noise is one of the major impairments affecting severely performance of millimeter-wave systems. This paper addresses the problem of link adaption for coherent and non-coherent…
