6G AI/ML for Physical-Layer: Part I - General Views
The physical layer of wireless communication has provided stable performance by relying on linear techniques based on statistical models, such as LS, LMMSE, and Zero-Forcing from 3G to early 5G systems. However, in the upcoming 6G landscape, existing methods face challenges due to a wider range of frequency bands, massive MIMO, complexity in high-density networks, and increasing feedback overhead.
Samsung Research proposes an AI/ML-based physical layer design that learns directly from data without predefined models. The characteristics of wireless communication systems allow AI/ML to demonstrate real-time adaptability and high flexibility. AI/ML also provides enhanced performance and reduced complexity when statistical models are valid, and data-driven sub-optimal solutions when their accuracy is insufficient. Explore the possibilities of context-aware/real-time responsive physical layer design optimized for 6G environments on the Samsung Research blog.

6G MIMO: Toward Intelligent and Energy-Efficient Radio
Massive MIMO, a key technology of the 5G era, has significantly improved network capacity and coverage through spatial multiplexing and beamforming. However, as commercialization has accelerated, the energy consumption of base station equipment has emerged as a critical issue. Against this backdrop, the development of intelligent and energy-efficient MIMO technologies has become increasingly imperative for the 6G era
Samsung Research is advancing 6G MIMO with energy-efficient operation and AI-based optimization. By enhancing existing MIMO technology, it leverages AI and machine learning to analyze network environments in real time and determine the transmission method. Additionally, it aims to minimize energy consumption to build eco-friendly and sustainable networks. It is expected that MIMO will contribute to creating smarter and more efficient communication environments in 6G. For a glimpse into the intelligent and sustainable design directions of MIMO for the 6G, visit the Samsung Research blog.
