240-GHz mmWave Wireless Transceiver Key Circuits Development for Next-Generation Communication
Tsung-Hsien Lin, Professor, National Taiwan University
This project aims to develop key circuits for a 240-GHz mmWave transceiver (TRX) using CMOS technology. Our team has completed the design and fabrication of core modules for the Sub-THz TRX, including: (1) a 240-GHz receiver with LNA, (2) a 240-GHz transmitter with PA, (3) an 80-GHz PLL, (4) a frequency tripler with phase shifter, and (5) a 5-Gbps ADC. We have also developed several digital baseband signal processing algorithms and techniques.
Due to the challenges of high-frequency operation, chip testing was conducted in a lab environment, making on-site demonstrations impractical. Instead, we will showcase chip performance through recorded videos. These demonstrations will include: transmission from the 240-GHz TX, with the down-converted signal shown on a spectrum analyzer; reception by the 240-GHz RX, verified via analog baseband waveforms on an oscilloscope; and performance of the 80-GHz PLL, displayed through measurement recordings. Additionally, simulation-based methods will be used to validate the digital baseband algorithms.

TDM-MIMO-Beamforming Sub-THz/THz System for Real-time 4D Sensing
Tzyy-Sheng Horng, Professor, National Sun Yat-sen University
This project aims to demonstrate scalable MIMO sensing systems operating in potential 6G bands, including FR1–FR3 and sub-THz frequencies. It leverages two key innovative technologies. The first is the heterogeneous integration of advanced semiconductor components to implement an RF front end that operates up to sub-THz frequencies. This integration includes elements such as an antenna-in-package (AiP) on a glass substrate, broadband CMOS switches, amplifiers, mixers, miniature GaAs IPD filters, and a high-power GaN MMIC oscillator—together forming an 8T8R unit cell that enables massive MIMO scalability. The second technology involves the use of self-injection locking (SIL) to enhance sensing sensitivity, allowing the system to detect subtle movements, such as human vital signs, making it highly suitable for health monitoring applications. By combining these technologies, the project aims to build a high-resolution 4D sensing system capable of delivering range, azimuth, elevation, and velocity information of targets. Notably, the proposed MIMO sensing system holds significant potential for integration with MIMO communication systems in future 6G integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) applications.

Development of Next-Generation Reconfigurable Electromagnetic Intelligence Surface Technology
Sheng-Fuh Chang, Professor, National Chung Cheng University
The CCU team applied millimeter-wave Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) technology to multi-user communication scenarios, enabling the transmission of two distinct data streams using 256-QAM modulation. The team will showcase a video demonstrating the deployment strategy of millimeter-wave RIS in outdoor environments and the subcarrier allocation mechanism.
Experimental results show that in an OFDM system with a total bandwidth of 400 MHz, the subcarrier indices are evenly divided: the left 200 MHz is allocated to UE 1 (256-QAM), and the right 200 MHz to UE 2 (256-QAM). By combining RIS-based beamforming with channel estimation techniques, the system effectively enhances multi-user communication performance.
Under this configuration, both UE 1 and UE 2 achieve a theoretical throughput of 400 Mbps, clearly validating the strong potential of RIS in multi-user spectrum division and performance optimization.

Development of Open-source B5G/6G Core Networks
Jyh-Cheng Chen, Professor, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University
5G Real-time AI Badminton Coaching System
Our demo showcases a 5G-enabled, real-time AI badminton coaching system. To enable AI-driven shuttlecock trajectory analysis, multiple cameras are deployed around the badminton court, streaming video in real time over a private 5G network. Accurate 3D reconstruction requires precise time synchronization across all camera feeds. Rather than relying on external Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) switches, our system leverages free5GC's built-in Time-Sensitive Communication and Time Synchronization Function (TSCTSF). This allows free5GC to serve as the master clock, delivering nanosecond-level synchronization to all slave cameras, ensuring high-precision temporal alignment for robust tactical analysis of the games.
In additional, we demo three key contributions to 5G network architecture: integration of a standard-compliant edge platform, development of a trusted non-3GPP access network, and a novel 5G anomaly detection module. Using an XR application on a Quest headset, we demonstrate real-time detection results delivered via the edge server over a trusted non-3GPP connection. A simulated control-plane DoS attack is launched to disrupt the application, triggering the anomaly detection module, which promptly identifies the issue and enables recovery--showcasing the reliability and effectiveness of the developed 5G network architecture.

"6G Upper Mid-band 8 x 4 MIMO with Less System Complexity and Higher Energy Efficiency than 8 x 8 MIMO for Increased Data Rates” and “Deploying Multi-Active RIS for Enhanced Throughput in Commercial 5G MIMO Networks”
In the first demonstration, we show that 8 x 4 device MIMO (ERA-aided MIMO) with 4 streams can outperform the 8 x 8 device MIMO with 8 streams. By applying the four-antenna module in the smartphone, the 8 x 4 MIMO in the NSYSU campus outdoor field test shows a much larger spectral efficiency (31 vs. 22 bps/Hz) and a higher energy efficiency than the 8 x 8 MIMO.
In the second demonstration, we experimentally evaluate multiple active RISs deployed in a commercial 5G MIMO network, highlighting significant enhancements in channel rank and throughput on a standard 5G smartphone, contrasting with conventional studies that focused primarily on coverage extension. The results demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of multi-RIS deployments for boosting current 5G performance and reveal promising potential for future 6G applications.

Open Integrated Optical and Wireless Prototype System
Jenq-Shiou Leu, Professor, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology
Our team integrates technologies including O-RAN, AI-based object tracking, and Digital Twin (DT), in combination with Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), to enable intelligent indoor agricultural inspection applications. In this use case, we have developed a real-time object tracking system based on Meta SAM2 to accurately localize UAVs within the farm. Additionally, we utilize our lab's proprietary model training and deployment platform—Mobilizing Information Technology Laboratory (MITLab)—to perform UAV path prediction. When the system detects that a UAV is about to enter a signal dead zone, it aggregates the UAV’s location and user equipment (UE) data into the SMO and transmits it in real time to the digital twin platform built on NVIDIA Omniverse. This enables computation and signal optimization simulations to determine the optimal signal reflection direction, providing RIS with precise guidance for signal enhancement.

A 6G network supporting 3D intelligent communications
Jyh-Cheng Chen, Professor, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University
In Open RAN part, a 6G emulation testbed is built for the verification of AI-assisted RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) functions. The testbed features a real indoor B5G network with active Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) to assist in networking in challenging indoor environments. The RIS is designed for 5G FR1 band and can support ±60° beam coverage. Empowered by reinforcement learning, advanced AI applications are demonstrated for various RIS-assisted RIC functions, including indoor position and QoS-aware network energy saving in the EE building of NYCU. Together with a simulated Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN), NTN RIC functions are designed to demonstrate multi-LEO handover and multi-beam switching.
In Open Core part, we present approaches to enhance the security of 5G/6G core networks by focusing on two key areas: reliability and user privacy. To improve reliability, we introduce a systematic core-network protocol fuzzer that enables developers to identify flaws, generate test cases, and validate potential fixes. For user privacy, we propose and integrate a user authorization service within the cellular network infrastructure, which regulates whether an edge application can access user data from O-RAN. Our demonstration is built on the free5GC core network, showcasing the process of detecting implementation flaws via a simulator. Additionally, an emulated edge application attempts to access user data from an O-RAN platform, but this is only allowed when the application is authorized.

6G Upper-midband Higher-order MIMO Mobile Communication System
Kin-Lu Wong, Professor, National Sun Yat-sen University
"6G Upper Mid-band 8 x 4 Device MIMO with Enhanced Data Rates for Outdoor-to-Indoor Scenario” and “End-User-Centric Collaborative MIMO”
In the first demonstration, we report results from an outdoor-to-indoor field test on the NSYSU campus (outdoors to the library hall). Using an 8 × 4 device MIMO configuration in the 7.025-7.125 GHz band (100 MHz bandwidth), the smartphone achieves up to 3.2 Gbps of downlink throughput. The results indicate that the glass window and its metal frames have small effects on the wave propagation in the 7.1 GHz band. Furthermore, the metal frames function like wave scatters to enhance the multipath propagation. This behavior leads to increased MIMO channel capacity to support higher signal modulation and thus high throughput for the user.
In the second demonstration, we introduce UE-CoMIMO, a user-centric collaborative MIMO approach. By coordinating several fixed or portable devices within a personal area, UE-CoMIMO forms a virtually expanded antenna array around the primary user equipment. Leveraging both upper mid-band and mmWave antennas, the system supports >1024-QAM (e.g., 1024-QAM or 4096-QAM) modulation. This joint operation of disparate antenna resources significantly boosts spectral efficiency and overall system throughput.

In this year’s 6G communication demonstration experiment, the team from National Chung Cheng University (CCU) focused on the application of Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) in dynamic dual-user communication scenarios. The system integrates blind beamforming and tracking algorithms to enhance signal stability.
The experiment was conducted in an indoor environment using a RIS operating at the 4.7 GHz band, consisting of 400 reflective elements. Two user equipment (UE) receivers were deployed. By leveraging the beamforming algorithm developed by the CCU team, along with a dynamic power feedback and phase adjustment mechanism, the system maintained stable and high-speed communication even under non-line-of-sight (NLoS) conditions or user mobility.
The transmitted signal employed 256-QAM modulation with a bandwidth of 100 MHz. Even when both users moved at a speed of 1 m/s, the RIS system could dynamically reconfigure the phase settings in real time, continuously delivering a communication throughput of nearly 500 Mbps. The results effectively demonstrate the feasibility and practicality of the proposed algorithm in multi-user, high-frequency scenarios.

6G Core Platform Technologies Enabling Ultra-High-Speed Global Connectivity
Hsi-Tseng Chou, Professor, National Taiwan University
This demo presents the capabilities of the SDR (Software Defined Radio) system in performing advanced RF testing across multiple frequency bands. The SDR serves as a flexible and efficient platform that integrates with various antennas for both transmission (TX) and reception (RX) analyses. In the Ku-band setup, the system works with a UDC (Up/Down Converter) to manage frequency conversion, while also enabling control over critical components such as the Power Amplifier (PA), Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), and Phase Shifter (PS) for performance tuning and validation.
For the S-band antenna, the SDR enables full-duplex testing by pairing with signal generators (SG) and spectrum analyzers (SA), allowing accurate monitoring of TX and RX paths. This setup ensures real-time evaluation of signal integrity and system behavior under operational conditions.
The LEO hybrid antenna is used in a TX-only configuration, where the SA is employed in a direct signal loopback test to quickly verify transmission strength and consistency.
Overall, this demo highlights how the SDR system supports diverse test scenarios and contributes to efficient multi-band antenna development, making it an essential tool for modern RF and antenna testing environments.
Our demo video showcases the real-time performance of a 2×2 MIMO-OTFS hardware receiver under realistic conditions using MATLAB-based NTN-TDL-D channel models. It includes an OTA test with strong dual-path IAI, a cable-connected baseline without wireless effects, and an OTA setup using two separate SISO channels to reduce interference. Across all three scenarios, the receiver maintained correct decoding, showing stable performance under moderate IAI and low degradation under stronger interference and increased distance. The results confirm our receiver's robustness and practicality for deployment in challenging wireless environments, such as LEO satellite or high-mobility communication systems.
