Inhalt:
The research on potential candidates for protocols, algorithms, applications and usable frequency bands for the next mobile communication generation 6G has recently started. Coming along with the new developments also their testing and verification comes more and more into the focus. Due to higher carrier frequencies and bandwidths as well as increasing numbers of channels, e.g., for massive or distributed MIMO applications, testing and the required testbeds become complexer and more expensive. One of the large research projects in Germany working on 6G, the Open6GHub, will therefore provide a unique broadband and scalable MIMO testbed with a maximum instantaneous bandwidth of about 2GHz and up to 256 Tx and Rx channels. It will provide the participating researchers a millimeter-wave platform for rapidly testing their algorithms and concepts, e.g., for joint-communication and sensing applications.
