Persistence may pay off for California’s Cohere Technologies as its OTFS modulation technique gains support for 6G, after being rejected for 5G standardization. Prospects of a more advanced modulation scheme, increasing wireless capacity and performance in a future 6G era, are improving. One of the companies working in this area is Californian start-up Cohere Technologies. The company had hoped that its orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation technique would be adopted as part of the 3GPP 5G standards, in addition to orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). Some organizations involved in the 3GPP 5G work felt that some of the newer 5G use cases, such as ultra-low latency IoT, would benefit from a different modulation scheme, even while OFDM-based technologies continued…
