Slides and presentation recordings: Radio Access Network Techniques for 6G
This University of Surrey led workshop, supported by DCMS and UK SPF, focused on energy efficiency, spectrum efficiency and coverage.
This was the second in a series of three University-led 6G focused workshops supported by UK SPF and DCMS.
The slides from the first event is this series. led by University of Bristol, can be found here:
The third event in this series will be led by University of Strathclyde on 16 September:
