The next-generation mobile platform is targeted to bring a significant technology leap for 2030 and beyond. 6G will be more than a new radio design, it is envisioned to be an innovation platform of synergistic technologies, including AI, RF sensing, security, green networks/devices, and more, which will sustain the expansion of the connected intelligent edge. At Qualcomm, we are driving longer-term research to lead the 5G Advanced evolution and establish the technical foundation for 6G.

This paper describes the role that Qualcomm is playing in preparing the evolution of 5G Advanced into 6G.

Readers will learn about our work on six research vectors in mobile innovation:

• Enabling technologies for the merging of physical, digital, and virtual worlds
• AI-native, end-to-end communications
• Scalable network architecture
• Air interface innovations
• Expanding into new spectrum bands
• Communication resiliency
