Intelligent Information and Communications Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab is pioneering wireless communications for the 6G era with signal processing and machine learning.
AboutAbout the lab
Wireless communication technology that opens up the future.
The Intelligent Information and Communications Lab studies new communication methods, centered on wireless signal processing.
Around the world, research and development on 6G is under way, aiming for practical use around 2030.
In 6G, wireless networks that embed AI into the network and integrate communication, sensing, and computing are expected.
Using signal processing and machine learning, the lab aims to create communication methods that deliver "the necessary information, to the necessary recipient, in the optimal form."
Key terms
- 6G
- The next generation of mobile communications after 5G. Research and development are under way, aiming for practical use around 2030.
- Sensing
- Measuring the state of surrounding objects and the environment using radio waves and similar means.
- Semantic communication
- A communication approach that extracts and sends only the "meaning" to be conveyed, rather than sending the data as it is.

ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to pioneer wireless communications for the 6G era with signal processing and machine learning. It works on using higher frequency bands, integrating communication and sensing, and communication for machines such as robots.
*Illustrative imageMillimeter-Wave and Terahertz Communications
To greatly increase communication speeds, the lab develops signal processing techniques for using higher frequency bands in wireless communication.
*Illustrative imageISAC (Integrated Sensing and Communication)
The lab develops signal processing techniques for sending data and obtaining information about the surrounding environment at the same time.
*Illustrative imageSemantic Communication
The lab develops a next-generation transmission method that greatly reduces the amount of communication by extracting and sending the "meaning" of data instead of sending the data in its entirety.
*Illustrative imageCommunication for Robots and Industry
Wireless communication has been designed on the premise of communication between people. The lab develops techniques to optimize it for machines such as robots and autonomous vehicles.
