Insights into 6G Spectrum - Nizar Messaoudi (Keysight Technologies) 

Abstract: Current 6G research is intensively focused on both legacy and emerging frequency spectra to meet unprecedented performance demands. 

In addition to ongoing investigations below 7 GHz, critical emphasis is placed on the following bands:
* Frequency Range 3 (FR3): 7–24 GHz
* Sub-terahertz spectrum: 90–300 GHz
* Frequency Range 2 (FR2): 24–52 GHz

This presentation, offers insight into of these spectrum candidates, with particular attention to FR3, which has gained considerable traction post-2024 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-23).

Key topics include:

  • A comprehensive overview of spectrum utilization trends and regulatory evolution
  • Detailed evaluation of 6G spectrum allocation candidates and their propagation characteristics
  • In-depth analysis of FR3’s growing appeal due to its favorable balance between coverage and capacity, alongside its technical challenges such as hardware constraints and interference management
  • Critical assessment of millimeter wave (mmWave) viability within FR2, considering recent advancements and deployment scena
