Student’s thesis used in 5G research
In the DRIVE project, a so-called MEC simulator is used, where student Douglas Wilhelmsson had the opportunity to develop the model as part of his thesis.
As 5G, IoT, and AI continue to evolve, there is a growing need for infrastructure that can efficiently and securely manage vast amounts of data. MEC (Multi-access Edge Computing) is a simulator designed to test and develop edge computing solutions within 5G and network infrastructure.

Significant grant awarded to 6G-NTN communication project
The project “Foundational Algorithms, Protocols, and Systems for Multi-Tier 6G-Non-Terrestrial Networks Integrated Communication and Environmental Sensing (6G-NTN-E),” has been awarded a grant of 28 MSEK by the Swedish Research Council.
The grant extends over a four-year period and is part of the Swedish Research Council's call for grants to support research environments focused on sixth generation wireless systems (6G). This call is part of the Government's initiative to develop the next generation of wireless systems (6G) and aims to support build-up of strong research environments, where teams of researchers work towards a joint research goal, both nationally and bi- or multilateral collaborations.

The project DRIVE invited companies to a joint workshop
On November 20–21, the DRIVE project at Computer Science invited partner companies to a joint two-day workshop. DRIVE's overarching goal is to conduct research and education in data-driven and latency-sensitive mobile services for future mobile networks.
This year, participants gathered at Karlstad University to learn about the latest research in the field. The workshop, an annual event within the project, provides opportunities for networking, knowledge sharing, discussions on current topics, highlighting synergies between subprojects, and exploring future research directions. DRIVE is built on close collaboration between Karlstad University and seven partner companies.

6G-PATH PROJECT ON IVA'S 100 LIST
The project 6G-PATH (6G-Pilots and Trials Through Europe), in which the departments of computer science and nursing at Karlstad University participate, has been included on this year’s IVA 100 List. The project aims to develop solutions for the healthcare education sector through advanced communication technology.
"Being on the 100 List shows that our research project has the potential to create tangible societal change and that transdisciplinary research brings together the best of both worlds. It’s wonderful that the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA) is recognizing a project that explores how remote healthcare staff can participate and play vital roles in critical situations through the aid of technology.
