NIST engineer Kate Remley led development of new 94 gigahertz calibrated signal source and 16-antenna array operating at 83 gigahertz

5G & Beyond

Ongoing
The realization of this long-term vision requires tackling key technical challenges to allow for greater temporal, spectral, coding and spatial resource efficiency. As well, these technologies all rely on high levels of electronic device integration, yielding a radical new connectorless measurement
5G Core Network Testbed Project

5G Core Networks Testbed

Ongoing
This project, as part of our 6G Core and Edge Networks and Services Project, is building a 5G/6G Core Network Testbed— which we refer to as OpenCoreNet—to support research on sixth generation (6G) networks and to explore how 6G can best improve industry applications. OpenCoreNet focuses on core

5G/6G Core Networks and Services

Ongoing
The main tasks of this program are: Task 1: 6G Core Network Architecture: I nvestigating AI-native architectures that not just execute AI/ML-based network functions but also support the creation, management, cooperation, measurement, and evolution of these functions. Task 2: Key Technologies Task 2
