Samsung collaborated with KT Corporation to jointly research and develop next-generation communication technologies aimed at improving 6G signal quality.
The collaboration aims to advance multi-antenna technologies to expand coverage across potential 6G frequency bands and explore AI integration in wireless communication to improve network stability and performance.
The brands under the collaboration started research on extreme multiple-input multiple-output (X-MIMO) technology, which is used in several antennas to enhance signal coverage and boost data speeds for 6G.
Noticeably, this research is in response to the ITU’s identification of the 7 GHz band as a potential 6G frequency, which encounters difficulties because of the higher signal path that causes more signal loss compared to 5G’s C-band, and now finally, the X-MIMO technology will help to acknowledge this issue by using ultra-high-density antennas.
To deal with all of such issues, both the brands, Samsung and KT, are gearing up to develop beamforming technology, which aims signal in particular directions, and multi-spatial transmission. The under-developed 6G systems will be compelled to handle more antennas as compared to 5G; this also focuses the firms on working on building systems that can manage these higher densities of antennas.
Samsung and KT will range over how AI can help to enhance user experience in areas where they mostly struggled with weak signal coverage. The new collaboration is highly expected to deliver innovative and cost-effective 6G technologies.
