5G Technology World spoke with Paul Challoner, VP Network Product Solutions at Ericsson, at the Fall 2022 6G Symposium in Washington, DC. · Paul Challoner Ericsson EE World interview Many of the discussions at the Fall 2022 6G Symposium, and indeed prior conferences, focus less on the technology and more on experiences. To deliver those…

In part 1, we discussed “Creating 5G Massive MIMO.” In part 2, we discuss the antenna options for moving into 6G using variations of Massive MIMO.In part 1, we discussed “Creating 5G Massive MIMO.” In part 2, we discuss the antenna options for moving into 6G using variations of Massive MIMO.

Part 1 explains who originated massive MIMO and how it works IEEE Fellow Thomas Marzetta is well known for originating the 5G massive MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) technology in 2006, which telecom experts consider to be one of the cornerstones of 5G wireless communications. This technology uses many small, individually controlled, low-power antennas to directly beam…
