Wireless technologies expected in 6G/Beyond5G and the latest trends for Wireless communication.

In contrast to 5G and Beyond5G, the research and development of the next generation mobile wireless communication system 6G, which aims to provide more comprehensive and sustainable wireless connectivity, aims to significantly improve the performance of current 5G communication systems and further increase network speed, bandwidth and low latency.

As a result, new applications such as virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), artificial intelligence (AI), connected cars, connected industry and automation, ubiquitous coverage through non-terrestrial networks (NTN), joint communications and sensing, low-power wireless communications The future of the system is expected to include the following.
Research is currently being conducted on the following technologies in order to realise 6G systems, the specifications of which are being drawn up with the aim of commercialising them around 2030: - Sub-terahertz communication and other technologies
New frequencies such as sub-terahertz communications
AI and machine learning
Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS)
Joint communications and sensing (JCAS)
New digital waveforms.

In addition, AI and machine learning technologies are already encapsulated in 5G-Advanced systems; the 6G radio communication standard will support AI-based air interfaces, which could improve capabilities such as joint compression and coding, beamforming, channel state information (CSI) compression and positioning techniques. There is potential for improved functionality.

In this presentation, the essential technologies and corresponding analysis and simulation methods for the realisation of Beyond5G and upcoming 6G technologies will be presented.

Changes in the behavior of shippers and logistics operators required by the enactment of a policy package for logistics innovation and their solutions

The Transportation Digital Business Conference (TDBC) aims to solve industry issues such as the 2024 problem through collaboration between business operators, companies with various technologies and solutions, shipper companies, etc., and to make the transportation industry a safe, secure, and ecological society. This organization was established with the aim of transforming the foundation and contributing to the industry and society.
Currently, 193 companies (including organizations) are participating as members, and they are active in 10 working groups for each issue and theme.
This time, we will provide an overview of the ``Two Logistics-Related Laws,'' a policy package legislation aimed at logistics innovation, and the legal requirements for shippers and logistics operators to understand and shorten cargo waiting and cargo handling time, and to properly formulate transportation contracts. We will introduce specific initiatives at TDBC, such as joint transportation and relay transportation to improve logistics efficiency, safety, health, SDGs, and CN.
In addition, we will provide an overview of the traevo Platform, a dynamic management platform born from TDBC working group activities, examples of its use in solving the 2024 problem, and other specifics such as TDBC certified solutions, digitization of transportation contracts, and creation of actual transportation system management records. We will also introduce some solutions.

Generative AI want Edge computing~Towards solving social issues facing Japan~

Japan is currently facing urgent issues such as an aging population and labor shortages, as exemplified by the 2024 problem. In addition, it is essential to review the supply chain due to geopolitical risks and global warming countermeasures. The use of generative AI (artificial intelligence) technology is highly anticipated in DX (digital transformation) initiatives aimed at solving these social issues. And edge computing is required to make generative AI technology usable in any situations. In this Session, we will summarize the latest trends in generative AI and edge computing as its operating environment, and consider how these will lead to solving social issues.

Realizing the Value of 5G, and the World Beyond 5G

The number of 5G subscriptions continues to grow beyond 1.6 billion worldwide. Expanding capacity to provide sufficient performance under ever-increasing traffic, 5G will provide the high reliability and low latency required by different service levels for consumers and industries. In order to realize this further value, 5G will evolve into a programmable network.
On the other hand, discussions on Beyond 5G have begun in parallel with the evolution of 5G. As it is a social infrastructure that realizes immersive communications and digitalization of industry and society, various factors, such as privacy, security, sensing, AI, computing, diversification and versatility of devices will be involved in this discussion, in addition to the sophistication of existing network indicators.
This lecture will introduce Ericsson's vision of the way to realize the value of 5G, and the world that Beyond 5G is aiming for.
