Abstract

Expectations for wireless communication technology are rising as a base technology that promotes innovation in various industries in line with the paradigm of digital transformation in the 21st century beyond the stage of being used only for communication service itself. In this study, in order to compare 6G technological competitiveness between Korea and leading countries, technological competitiveness was confirmed through PFS, CPP, and network analysis based on GaN Integrated Circuit patent data. Korea's 6G technological competitiveness was 0.62 in PFS and 3.93 in CPP, which were 32.8% and 19.9%, respectively, compared to leading countries. In addition, as a result of network analysis, the collaboration rate in the 6G field was 7.2%, and the collaboration ecosystem was very insufficient in most countries. In contrast, it was confirmed that Korea, unlike leading countries, has established a small-scale collaboration ecosystem linked by industry and academia. Thus, it is necessary to establish a strategy for 6G communication technology at the national level so that communication technology can be advanced based on a relatively well-established collaborative ecosystem.

무선통신 기술은 통신서비스 자체에만 활용되는 단계를 넘어 21세기 디지털 전환이라는 패러다임과 맞물려 다양한 산업의 혁신을 촉진하는 기반 기술로써 기대가 높아지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라와 주요 선도국가의 6G 기술경쟁력을 비교하기 위해 GaN(갈륨나이트라이드) 특허 정보를 기반으로 시장확보 지수(PFS), 피인용도 지수(CPP) 그리고 네트워크 분석을 통해 6G 기술경쟁력을 분석하였다. 우리나라의 6G 기술경쟁력은 PFS가 0.62로, CPP가 3.93으로 나타났으며, 각각 선도국가 대비 32.8%, 19.9% 수준인 것으로 확인되었다. 그다음 네트워크 분석 결과, 6G 분야의 특허 협업 비율은 7.2%로 대부분 국가에서 모두 협업 생태계가 미흡한 것으로 분석되었다. 다만, 우리나라는 선도국가와 달리 산업계와 학계가 연계한 소규모 협업 관계가 구축되어 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서, 소규모 협업 생태계를 기반으로 통신 기술 고도화를 할 수 있는 국가 차원의 6G 통합 R&D 전략을 마련할 필요가 있겠다.
