6G Radio Testbeds: Requirements, Trends, and Approaches
Journal article, 2024
The proof of the pudding lies in eating, and that is why 6G testbeds are essential in the progress toward the next generation of wireless networks. Theoretical research toward 6G wireless networks proposes advanced technologies to serve new applications and drastically improve energy performance. Testbeds are indispensable to validate these new technologies under more realistic conditions. This article clarifies the requirements for 6G radio testbeds, reveals trends, and introduces approaches toward their development.
