Two major Korean corporations join hands to develop 6G network technology

According to a VNA reporter in Seoul, on November 26, two leading Korean technology companies, SK Telecom and Samsung Electronics, announced that they had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to jointly develop an open radio access network (RAN) using artificial intelligence (AI) with the goal of leading next-generation 6G network technologies.

Under the agreement, the two companies plan to research and apply core 6G technologies, including AI-based channel estimation technology, distributed multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission and reception technology, and AI-RAN-based core network and scheduling technology.

SK Telecom will leverage its nationwide network operation experience to provide data and build testing infrastructure, while Samsung Electronics will develop AI channel estimation models and distributed MIMO algorithms.

This joint research will be undertaken by the research and development (R&D) institutes of the two technology companies.

AI-based channel estimation uses AI to predict and correct signal distortion, improving data transmission accuracy. Distributed MIMO technology provides stable, ultra-high-speed signal transmission even in high-density areas.

AI-RAN-based core network technology and scheduler enable the network to automatically decide when and where to send data, increasing resource efficiency.

SK Telecom and Samsung Electronics, both members of the AI-RAN Alliance, have expanded their cooperation since 2025 to develop next-generation communications technologies.

The AI-RAN Alliance was established to promote 6G research by combining AI with wireless communication technology./.
