Korea TTA to set 6G vision by June next year

In addition, it also plans to discuss ways to preoccupy global 6G technology.

It will also discuss patent trends and standardization strategies with the Korean Intellectual Property Office and hold a panel discussion to find strategies for 5G-Advanced and 6G technology development and standardization.

Following the workshop, the TTA TC11 will hold a meeting to appoint the vice chairman and check the scope of work by the project group to strengthen B5G and 6G standardization activities.

The new vice chairman Kim Dae-Kyun, head of Samsung Electronics’ research lab, said, “We will enhance our role so that the TTA can lead the global B5G and 6G standardization.”

TTA Chairman Choi Young-hae said, “6G vision, the first step of the global standardization, will be set up by June next year. The reorganization of TTA and TC11 will be an opportunity to successfully set up the vision and lead 6G standardization.” Always First
