Japan's R&D Strategy in the Beyond 5G Era and the Potential of Terahertz Waves

It has been almost four years since the research and development of next-generation mobile communication systems (Beyond 5G/6G) started around 2020. Much basic and fundamental research has been conducted in Japan with the help of contract research and research grants from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and NICT. Similar funding and R&D are also being conducted in many overseas countries. In the midst of this R&D competition, the World Radio Conference was held in December 2023 to discuss the frequency bands that could be used for Beyond 5G/6G. This included discussions on millimeter waves and terahertz waves. From this point forward, standardization work will be carried out by 3GPP and development will be carried out for implementation around 2030. This presentation will review the state of R&D to date and discuss future directions. In particular, it will discuss millimeter waves and terahertz waves, which have attracted attention as new frequency bands for Beyond 5G/6G, outlining the national discussions to date and what practical applications are currently possible.
