MWC Barcelona, the largest and most influential event in the connectivity sector, was held on 03-06 March 2025. It brought together more than 109k attendees from 205 countries and territories and over 2,900 exhibitors, among which was PREDICT-6G consortium member, InterDigital. As in previous years, InterDigital had a strong presence at MWC, with a stand that included, among other things, several demos showing how innovation powers connected experiences at work, at play and at rest.
InterDigital’s booth showcased cutting-edge research and industry collaborations, highlighting the potential of 6G to integrate sensor data and AI with wireless communications, pioneering immersive video experiences and solutions to reduce power consumption across devices, and tangible applications of AI to enhance and improve the variety of content and services delivered over wireless. One of these contributions is the PREDICT-6G demonstration called “Novel Data Plane Concept for Deterministic Networking in an ISAC Setting”, which was part of the ‘Integrated Sensing and Communication’ corner of InterDigital’s booth.
Dr. Sebastian Robitzsch from InterDigital, responsible for the standardisation of PREDICT-6G, showed the project demo to the visitors of the MWC. This demo shows how Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC)-enabled 6G networks, supported by AI, can enable an autonomous robot to navigate seamlessly through a smart factory environment, avoiding collisions with objects in its path. ISAC uses sensor data from base stations and user devices to identify a wide range of factors to provide optimal service. The approach also ensures reliable and mission-critical delivery of measurement results to applications by leveraging deterministic networking. It also introduces Protocol Data Unit Set-like support, facilitating end-to-end handling of all IP traffic across multi-domain and multi-technology environments.
