Samsung has partnered with Japanese telecommunications firm NTT DOCOMO to research using AI to improve 6G mobile networks. As the use of AI is being expanded to various industries and 6G hasn't been standardized yet, the two companies are trying to see how AI can improve mobile networks.
Samsung and NTT DOCOMO finding ways to use AI to improve 6G networks
Currently, network optimization happens at the cell site level in mobile telecommunication networks. However, Samsung and NTT DOCOMO are trying to find ways to use AI algorithms to improve and optimize mobile networks on a larger scale. They want to use AI to improve the quality and efficiency of the network.
For example, mobile phone users entering and exiting a cell site area can experience no interruptions while streaming videos or a loss of signal, as the overall network will use AI to know users traveling from one cell site to another.
Samsung and NTT DOCOMO have long collaborated on standardizing mobile networks in the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) space. They want to continue their collaboration and advance telecommunication technologies together in the future.

Paul (Kyungwhoon) Cheun, President, Chief Technology Officer at Samsung Electronics and Head of Samsung Research, said, “The joint research with NTT DOCOMO will play an integral role in developing AI technology for communication systems. By merging the technical capabilities and expertise of both companies, we will create synergy for next-generation communication technologies.“
