    Karlstads University is now part of the one6G Association

    One6G is a non-profit association with over 100 academic and industry members. Karlstad University can use one6Gs network for establishing strategic collaborations and partnerships with other one6G members.

    – As one6G member, we can propose new or participate to existing joint research topics as part of one6G working groups. This gives the opportunity to collaborate internationally on different research topics in a flexible and research-driven manner, for instance towards joint publications, participate to one6G plenary meetings where research activities are discussed and gain strategic visibility in the 6G research ecosystem.

    Enhancing health education with the help of 6G

    6G-PATH (6G-pilots and Trials Through Europe) is a new Horizon Europe project where Computer Science and Nursing Science at Karlstad University are participating. The project is going to develop solutions that can be applied in health education.

    6G is expected to introduce new technologies that will enable innovative applications. One such application is Extended Reality (XR), which is a general term used to describe experiences that span from the physical to the digital world.

    Joint workshop with DRIVE and partner companies in Kista

    The project group DRIVE, together with Ericsson AB, invited partner companies to a two-day joint workshop with the aim of showcasing and discussing how to work with mobile services. Karlstad University also had the opportunity to describe their research in the field when it was time to meet at Ericsson's premises in Stockholm, Kista.

    DRIVE has the overall goal of conducting world-leading research and education in the area of data-driven, latency-sensitive mobile services for future mobile networks, as well as contributing to a sustainable digitization of society. In the project, one of the objectives is to explore how mobile services can be used in the most optimized and energy-efficient way possible.

    Successful collaboration between Karlstad University and Rohde & Schwarz

    On Thursday 14 September, the subject of Computer Science held an open colloquium where Marco Neri from the telecommunication company Rohde & Schwarz talked about solutions and measurements related to 5G.

    Marco Neri has been involved in a joint research collaboration with Karlstad University since 2018. The research activity is one of the first collaborations in Europe to measure and analyse 5G mobile network performance. This gives Karlstad University a key role in the research context related to 5G empirical analyses and data-driven improvements.

    Achieving Low Latency and High Throughput over Cellular Internet Connections

    Mobile networks are constantly evolving to enable improved throughput and low latency for applications. However, it has been shown that current standard congestion control algorithms can cause long delays in mobile networks due to over-allocation of buffers. In his thesis, Habtegebreil Kassaye Haile has investigated the performance of two possible solutions to this problem.

    The Internet is constantly evolving. This evolution is driven by the need to support new application requirements and improve the performance of existing applications. The layered architecture of the Internet enables this evolution to take place at a specific layer without having to make changes to components at other layers. However, upgrades limited to a specific layer or component are often not sufficient to achieve the desired performance of the application. When upgrading mobile networks, performance and latency issues can simply be moved to another layer.
