The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) has developed a hybrid signal processing method that integrates an annealing-based quantum computer with classical computing for next-generation mobile communication systems. By implementing this method into a base station, simultaneous communications with 10 devices were successfully demonstrated through outdoor experiments, addressing...

The fifth-generation mobile communication system, also known as 5G, is expected to evolve as a critical infrastructure supporting individual users, industrial applications, and social systems. This requires access to broader frequency resources, but concerns have emerged regarding future congestion even in the existing frequency bands, creating a strong need to...

As researchers around the world race toward the realization of 6G wireless communication systems, the need for antennas that can dynamically adapt to ever-changing signal environments has never been greater. A key requirement of 6G is intelligent beam control, which enables signals to be steered, shaped, and optimized in real...

Researchers at Monash University and the University of Melbourne have developed a quantum-inspired approach to optical wireless communication that promises to make 6G networks faster, more reliable and energy-efficient. As the world moves toward 6G, devices and networks will need to handle more data, faster, and in smaller spaces than...

It has long been considered common sense that a single device performs only one function. Just as tuning a radio to a different frequency changes the channel, systems that manipulate waves have traditionally been designed to operate at only one specific frequency, requiring different devices for different frequencies. Now, however,...

As manufacturers race toward smarter, faster and more automated production, the networks holding those systems together are coming under growing strain. Robots, sensors and autonomous machines all demand split-second responses and iron-clad security—yet traditional 5G alone is not always built for the scale, cost and complexity of modern industrial environments....

Korea's research community has reached an important milestone on the path toward next-generation mobile communications with the development of a technology platform that brings the 6G era closer. Researchers expect that AI-Native mobile networks, in which artificial intelligence autonomously controls and optimizes the communication system, could achieve transmission efficiencies up...
