According to a 2021 report by Siemens, existing communication infrastructures provide both full area coverage as well as a good interconnection between nodes, which facilitates a multi-static sensory mesh. This advantage can be combined with the right chips to enable sensing by network; essentially using communication signals for spatial sensing.

This was already possible several years ago with the introduction of network sensing, but with the latest generation of AI powered mobile communications; users might be able to extract more information at faster speeds and better clarity. For example, a 2022 report by Nokia Bell Labs proposed that 6G networks can be utilized as sensors to generate highly-realized digital versions of the physical world.

As communication systems evolve and grow more complex, AI powered joint sensing and communication networks will become a standard feature in future 6G systems. By incorporating generative AI, such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Variational Auto Encoders (VAEs), they are able to significantly enhance the performance of advanced wireless sensing and ISAC. Galaverse achieves this by generating synthetic training data, bolstering signal processing capabilities, and compensating for noise and missing data, all of which are critical for future intelligent heterogeneous 6G networks (3GPP).

The AI powered sensing silicon chip technology has vast potential applications, poised to elevate cellular networks in open spaces and support a wide range of use cases, including: autonomous vehicles, vehicle to everything (V2X) communications, drone Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging, robotics, health monitoring, people ID identification, 3D localization mapping and much more.

Galaverse Core Technologies for 6G NTN

What is 6G NTN?

  • 6G: The next generation of wireless technology expected to come around 2030+, promising ultra-high data rates, extremely low latency, massive connectivity, and new use cases like holographic communication, digital twins, and extended reality.
  • NTN: Non-Terrestrial Networks — these include satellites, High Altitude Platforms (HAPs), drones, and other airborne or spaceborne systems that provide connectivity beyond traditional terrestrial cellular networks.

6G NTN

  • 6G standardization is still in early research and definition phases, with organizations like 3GPP, ITU-R, IEEE, and various industry consortia actively studying the requirements and technical solutions.
  • For NTN, 3GPP Release 17 and Release 18 have started to include NTN support, with KA band frequencies being used in some satellite communications.
  • High Frequency KA Band is considered promising for NTN 6G because it offers:
    • Wider bandwidths for ultra-high data rates.
    • Better spectrum availability globally.
    • Suitable for low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites and High Altitude Platforms.
