Three Innovative B5G/6G Projects at Karlstad University
Karlstad University continues to solidify its position as a key player in the European research on Beyond 5G (B5G) and 6G mobile technologies. The Distributed Intelligent Systems and Communications (DISCO) group, part of the Computer Science Department, has secured funding for three exciting new projects. These projects, which are part of ongoing European initiatives, aim to explore how future mobile networks can be improved, focusing on satellite integration, time-sensitive services, and immersive remote education.
MAGDALENA (Measuring 5G and Satellite Network Integration) began on June 1 and will last for six months.It uses the 6G-SANDBOX testbed at the University of Malaga (Spain) to explore the integration of satellite components in B5G/6G networks. “We will conduct a measurement campaign to assess network performance, and the results will provide valuable benchmarks for industries, SMEs, and other research institutes”, says Mohammad Rajiullah, Senior Lecturer in Computer Science and part of the DISCO group.
