UC San Diego and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Develop Scalable Technology for Faster and More Reliable 5G and 6G Wireless Communication

A team from the University of California San Diego and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has invented a scalable technology that enables faster and more reliable 5G and 6G wireless communication. "With our approach, we can support maybe 10 times more devices than before using the same bandwidth," said Ish Kumar Jain, an assistant professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and alumnus of the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering. "It also helps reduce latency (the delay in accessing the network) and maintains an extremely high data rate with all connected devices." The technique, dubbed FlexLink (patent pending), was co-developed by Dinesh Bharadia, associate professor with the Jacobs School of Engineering and affiliate of the Qualcomm Institute at UC San Diego, along with UC San Diego Ph.D. student Rohith Reddy Vennam. The paper ispublishedas part of theProceedings of the Twenty-sixth International Symposium on Theory, Algorithmic Foundations, and Protocol Design for Mobile Networks and Mobile Computing.
