It was a pleasure to participate in this year‘s Brooklyn 6G Summit and many thanks to Nokia and the New York University for hosting this outstanding industry event! 🗽

The 6G-RIC made a significant contribution to this prestigious 6G event. Our WirelessCommunications researchers Prof. Slawomir Stanczak, Dr. Ramez Askar and Sven Wittig presented a wide range of exhibits from the 6G research hub 6G-RIC Research and Innovation Cluster. 🏆 Our D-Band Sensing Demo won second place for “Technology in End-to-End Systems”. Congratulations!

We especially enjoyed the chance to explore energy efficiency in AI/ML-based wireless networks - one of 6G-RIC’s key research topics. Prof. Slawomir Stanczak gave an insightful presentation on the critical need for next-generation AI techniques that support device-edge co-inference, a key to enabling impactful 6G applications with a minimal energy footprint.

Following the presentation, he had the pleasure of taking part in an extremely interesting panel discussion on the topic of ‘Energy efficiency in AI/ML networks’. Special thanks go to Francesca Sartori for her professional moderation and to the panelists Doru Calin, Kuntal Chowdhury, Andreas Roessler and Philip Pietraski for their valuable contributions.

Kudos to Professor Theodore (Ted) from Rappaport (NYU WIERELESS) and Dr Amitava Ghosh from Nokia for inviting us and organizing such an inspiring summit. We are excited to see how our shared insights will shape the future of sustainable 6G networks!

Thank you to all visitors for their curiosity and interest in our exhibits:

 💡 Proof-of-concept implementation of neuromorphic wireless cognition with application to human-robot interaction. The setup integrates wireless communications with neuromorphic sensing and neuromorphic processing (mimicking the human brain).

💡 Open-source research platform developed at Fraunhofer HHI, including our O-RAN testbed with implemented control interfaces and AI-based control loops, our OAI-based 5G NR setup operating in the FR2 band and employing MIMO, together with the cell-free massive MIMO testbed being developed at our institute.

 💡 Real-time capable research platform for integrated communication and sensing in the sub-THz frequency range. In the demonstration, mobile radio synchronization signals are transmitted and received at 160 GHz with 4 GHz bandwidth to generate a live radar image of the environment.
