02 Outubro 2023 - 5:00AM
InterDigital, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDCC), a mobile and video technology
research and development company, and the Indian Institute of
Technology at Kanpur (IIT-K) have announced a bilateral research
partnership to develop enabling technologies that impact future
wireless standards. Specifically, InterDigital will sponsor
research and innovation at IIT-K that advances MIMO
(Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) systems to achieve the improved
spectrum efficiency and network coverage required for 5G Advanced
and 6G network deployments. The research will support critical
advancements enabling networks to scale and meet growing bandwidth
and coverage demands of advanced applications like metaverse
experiences, holographic communications, and digital twins.
The InterDigital and IIT-K partnership is
aligned with the growing collaboration between India and the United
States around 6G research and standardization. The partnership
follows a joint statement from the two countries at the recent G20
Summit highlighting the importance of joint research and
development in 6G technologies while acknowledging IIT-K as a key
collaborator.
“The 6G capabilities we imagine today will be
realized through cutting-edge research and strong collaboration,
and we are happy to have a partner like IIT-K to dive deeper into
critical technologies like MIMO that will enable our networks to
support ever more connected experiences,” said Rajesh Pankaj, EVP
and Chief Technology Officer, InterDigital. “We’re excited to
support and work alongside the researchers at IIT-K.”
Professor Rohit Budhiraja, who will be leading
the research effort at IIT-K added, "The partnership comes at an
opportune moment when India has released the Bharat 6G Vision
Document and has laid the foundation to becoming a world leader in
6G technology. The academia has a major role to play both in terms
of advanced research leading to 6G standardization as well as
developing technology components of the 6G."
“We are proud to formalize our partnership with
IIT-K to explore and expand our expertise in the advanced
technologies that will shape future networks,” said Milind
Kulkarni, VP and Head of Wireless Labs, InterDigital. “This
engagement adds fuel to our innovation and InterDigital’s
commitment to collaborate with leading universities and
institutions around the world.”
With a history of partnership in India spanning
a decade, InterDigital recognizes India’s importance in the global
6G wireless research and standards ecosystem, citing the recent
publication of the Bharat 6G Vision document and launch of India’s
6G research and development test bed. In 2021, InterDigital became
a member of the Telecommunications Standards Development Society,
India (TSDSI) to support the development of India’s wireless and
video markets, the region’s upgrades to 5G and beyond, and
migration to high-definition mobile video.
