Finland's Nokia announced on November 3, 2025, that it has developed an AI-powered receiver for 6G and successfully field-tested it in collaboration with German instrumentation giant Rohde & Schwarz. The two companies demonstrated the results at the Brooklyn 6G Summit held November 5-7.
The receiver developed by Nokia Bell Labs uses machine learning to identify and correct distortions in the radio signal, resulting in a 10-25% improvement in uplink distance compared to conventional receivers. Verification was conducted using Rohde & Schwarz 6G test equipment, which also confirmed improved throughput and power savings.
While 6G is expected to realize ultra-high-speed communications by utilizing higher frequency bands, it has been pointed out that the coverage will be narrowed due to high radio wave attenuation. This new technology aims to expand communication coverage while reducing the need for additional base stations, and may help network operators reduce installation costs and speed up time-to-market.
Peter Vetter of Bell Labs commented, "Expanding 6G receiver coverage with AI technology will help build on the existing 5G infrastructure to create a 6G infrastructure.
