NTT DOCOMO announced on 17 November 2025 that it had successfully conducted an outdoor demonstration using real-time transceiver systems with AI-powered wireless technology for 6G. The demonstration was carried out in collaboration with NTT, Nokia Bell Labs, and SK Telecom.
Field trials took place at three locations in Yokosuka City and confirmed that the use of AI significantly improved throughput compared with conventional non-AI-based methods under the same environmental conditions, effectively doubling the communication speed.
To address the unstable connection quality due to radio propagation fluctuations, the parties have been developing and testing “AI–AI technology,” which applies AI to both the transmitting and receiving sides of the wireless interface to optimize modulation and demodulation schemes according to radio conditions, enabling stable communication across diverse use cases.
The latest field trials aimed to verify whether this new technology can maintain stable performance in outdoor environments, where radio conditions vary greatly due to temperature, weather, and obstacles.
