The Steering Committee for the growth of science, expertise, innovation, and digital transformation of HCMC has issued a plan to implement the Politburo’s Resolution 57 on breakthrough growth of science, expertise, innovation, and nationwide digital transformation for 2026.
The division is assigned to preside over the analysis, growth, and testing of sixth technology cell expertise (6G community) in HCMC; whereas proposing the Ministry of Science and Technology (MST) to put it into testing in an space inside the metropolis.
However, there are lots of present difficulties: 6G expertise remains to be in the analysis stage, with no official technical requirements issued but; there is no such thing as a 6G gear on the market; enterprises are at present specializing in growing and increasing 5G networks, and 6G analysis is a long-term technique.
ITU analysis
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is actively main the preparation course of for 6G (often known as IMT-2030) with a transparent roadmap, from the imaginative and prescient analysis stage to detailed technical necessities and analysis of proposed applied sciences. The purpose is to transfer towards a unified international customary, anticipated to be finalized round 2030.
First, the ITU accomplished the first and most essential stage of constructing the imaginative and prescient for 6G, having adopted Recommendation ITU-R M.2160 permitted in November 2023.
According to this suggestion, the ITU outlined six principal utility situations for 6G together with: Immersive Communication; Hyper Reliable and Low-Latency Communication; huge communication; Ubiquitous Connectivity; Artificial Intelligence and Communication; and Integrated Sensing and Communication.
Recommendation ITU-R M.2160 additionally states: To develop IMT-2030, flexibility is critical to adapt to new and unexpected utilization situations that will come up with varied necessities.
IMT-2030 is envisioned to embody a lot of completely different options. Depending on the completely different circumstances and wants in several international locations, IMT-2030 is anticipated to be designed and operated in a modular vogue in order that options could be added regularly as wanted.
ITU performs the position of chief architect, offering total necessities and schedules.
The work of constructing detailed technical requirements will probably be undertaken by The third Generation Partnership Project – a world cooperation group growing technical specs for cell data applied sciences.
Under 3GPP roadmap, throughout 2024-2025, the focus is on unifying necessities for 6G. From the starting of 2027, 3GPP organizations will submit Radio Interface Technology (RIT) proposals to the ITU.
Early 2029 is the deadline to submit these proposals. From late 2030 to early 2031, the ITU is anticipated to formally approve the remaining IMT-2030 customary suggestion.
Currently, the ITU and 3GPP are researching to decide detailed technical necessities for 6G. This is a pivotal and notably essential stage.
In February 2026, the ITU achieved a significant step ahead by finishing the report on minimal efficiency indicators for 6G. This report units particular and bold targets: peak hastens to 50-200 Gbps, person expertise speeds reaching 300-500 Mbps; radio interface latency of solely 0.1-1 ms and reliability up to 99.99999 %; elementary applied sciences recognized embody THz band communication, AI built-in from the begin (AI-native), Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC), and different superior networking applied sciences.
Three new situations
Among the six utility situations of 6G in accordance to Recommendation ITU-R 2160, three are developed from 5G utility situations: immersive communication, huge communication, and hyper-reliable and low-latency communication.
The different three are new situations distinctive to 6G: Integrated AI and Communication, Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC), and Ubiquitous Connectivity.
These three new situations will create the revolution of 6G, elevating cell networks from pure “connectivity” to an “intelligent world”.
Integrated AI and Communication is taken into account the coronary heart of the 6G community, the place AI is now not an exterior layer as in 5G however turns into an inherent a part of the total system (AI Native). In 5G, AI acts like a “smart manager” put in to monitor and optimize the community, whereas in 6G, AI turns into the community’s “DNA”.
The Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) situation is giving cell networks a “sixth sense”, enabling them to understand the surrounding bodily world.
The core idea is that 6G radio waves can concurrently carry out two features: transmit information and act as a high-precision radar.
Ubiquitous Connectivity: This bold purpose of 6G goals to eradicate all protection gaps and deliver high-bandwidth Internet connectivity in every single place on Earth. The core idea of this situation is constructing a seamless built-in Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN).
