InterDigital said the partnership will aim to develop critical 6G technology features including integrated sensing, communications and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces
U.S. company InterDigital signed a research partnership with the 6G Innovation Center (6GIC) at the University of Surrey, in the U.K., to develop 6G enabling technologies that may impact future wireless standards, InterDigital said in a release.
“Innovation is at the core of our DNA, and this great opportunity to collaborate with InterDigital will allow us to ideate and develop critical 6G technology features including integrated sensing, communications and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces,” said Rahim Tafazolli Freng, founding director of the 6G Innovation Center at the University of Surrey.
The University of Surrey’s 6GIC was launched in 2020 as a global research hub dedicated to advanced telecommunications engineering. The 6G partnership will support joint dissemination of research findings in pre-standards and research forums such as ETSI, Innovate UK, and Horizon Europe partnership projects and in top-tier peer review journals.
