“6G: The Way Forward with Important KPIs and Technologies” is podcast #11 of IEEE’s ComSoc Technology News (IEEE CTN). In this podcast we are happy to have Professor Ana Garcia Armada from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, and CTN’s Senior Editor Professor Aryan Kaushik from Manchester Met, UK sharing their views on what are the critical and important KPIs and technology adjustments that need to take place in order to make 6G the logical evolution in wireless communications. By identifying these key initial elements, R&D efforts can be more focused resulting in a smoother and valuable transition of the 5G era into the 6G era.
