Ericsson and KAUST partner to develop 5G and 6G technologies in Saudi Arabia communication networks will have more emphasis on high data rates , low latency , and high security , Ericsson and KAUST will investigate transparent and flexible intelligent surfaces for 5G and beyond enhanced communication .
Ericsson and King Abdullah University of
Science and Technology ( KAUST ) have announced an initial three-year research and development ( R & D ) partnership focused on three research projects aimed at advancing telecommunication networks with cutting edge technologies . The partnership aims to understand the key features and requirements of next-generation communication systems .
With current optimisation algorithms often entailing considerable computational complexity and processing overhead , Ericsson and KAUST will utilise Machine Learning ( ML ) for frequency-selective wireless channels , with the aim of using deep learning to solve channel estimation and resource allocation problems for massive multiple-input multiple-output ( MIMO ) systems . Moreover , as future
According to the two organisations , the partnership will also focus on 6G capabilities moving to higher frequencies such as Terahertz ( THz ) for higher data rates . In particular , Ericsson and KAUST researchers will study backup solutions for THz communications to guarantee uninterrupted high rate backhaul in 6G dense networks .
Professor Bradley , Vice President for Research , King Abdullah University of Science and Technology , said : “ We are excited to collaborate with Ericsson to develop novel architectures for future communication networks .”
