(Press-News.org) Korean researchers are strengthening South Korea’s leadership in the global market through the development of 6G, the next-generation mobile communication technology.
Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) announced that they showcased their latest research results at the “6G Symposium Spring 2024” held in Oulu, Finland, from April 9 to 11, drawing the attention of attendees.
At this symposium, ETRI particularly showcased its “service mesh” technology. This technology is a key 6G technology that addresses complex communication issues among numerous cloud-nativemobile network functions that are dynamically created or terminated in a cloud environment.
6G mobile networks are moving away from the dedicated hardware equipment structure of existing 4G/5G networks. They are evolving into a cloud-native architecture where mobile network functions are virtualized into software services that are developed, deployed, executed, and managed in a cloud environment.
Accordingly, network functions developed in the form of microservices in various languages and environments are deployed and operated on the cloud. To provide smooth mobile services to users, these microservices need to exchange complex control signals rapidly. However, the existing structure posed issues such as communication delays due to inefficient communication methods.
ETRI’s newly developed service mesh architecture has significantly improved communication delay by reducing existing networking procedures by more than 80%. It reduced the number of networking stack that a packet passes, which used to be 24 round trips, to just 4. By completely separating the business logic and communication logic that were mixed within existing network functions, and adopting an agent that can selectively use high-speed communication methods such as gRPC1), an open-source Remote Procedure Call (RPC) framework, ETRI has enhanced the mobile core network signal processing performance.
1) gRPC: An open-source remote procedure call framework initially developed by Google. It uses HTTP/2 for transport and Protocol Buffers as the interface definition language, offering features such as authentication, bidirectional streaming, flow control, blocking and non-blocking bindings, and cancellation and timeouts.
Additionally, it provides a 6G development environment where network function developers can focus solely on developing core mobile service functions. Developers no longer need to worry about the communication logic such as network service registration, discovery, connection, and authentication.
Namseok Ko, the head of ETRI’s Mobile Core Network Research Section, said, “ETRI’s service mesh technology can be adopted as a core technology for cloud-native 6G mobile networks. This technological development is expected to enable faster and more efficient 6G communication services and contribute to the advancement of global communication technology.”
The research team stated that this symposium, held as a part of the EU 6G Flagship project, provided an opportunity to solidify South Korea’s position as a global leader in the field of communication technology.
ETRI also announced plans to further expand and commercialize this technology through the next-generation communication industry technology development project promoted by the Ministry of Science and ICT.

Potential new target for colorectal cancer treatment
2024-06-27
Researchers have identified a protein called PFDN6 that may play a role in the development and spread of colorectal cancer (CRC). The study, published in [journal name], found that PFDN6 levels are increased in CRC patients and contribute to tumor growth. By reducing PFDN6 in lab studies, scientists were able to slow cancer cell spread and increase cell death. These findings suggest that PFDN6 could be a target for future CRC treatments.
CRC is the third most common cancer worldwide and has a poor prognosis, especially ...
Female heart patients less likely to have additional problems fixed during surgery
2024-06-27
When operating on the heart, surgeons may find another issue in the patient. Depending on what they see, the surgical team may address on the secondary condition during the same operation.
These are sometimes called concomitant procedures.
However, two studies led by Michigan Medicine find that female patients who undergo heart surgery are less likely to have secondary ailments corrected during a procedure — despite guidelines that indicate they should.
“Across the spectrum of cardiovascular care, from medical management to transcatheter and surgical procedures, there is growing evidence that women ...
New technique could lead to more organs being available for transplant
2024-06-27
LONDON, ON – A team at Lawson Health Research Institute is the first in Canada to perform a transplant using a technique called abdominal normothermic regional perfusion (A-NRP), which could lead to more organs being available for transplant. The technique was used to optimize organs from two donors in April 2024 at London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC), resulting in the successful transplantation of two kidneys and two livers to four patients.
“Organ donation after circulatory death (when the heart stops beating) has historically been less reliable than organ donation after brain death,” explained Dr. Anton Skaro, Associate Scientist ...
Groundbreaking discovery: Zinc can make crop yields more climate-resilient
2024-06-27
Researchers have discovered that zinc plays a crucial role in the nitrogen fixation process of legumes. This finding, along with the transcriptional regulator Fixation Under Nitrate (FUN), could revolutionize legume-based agriculture by optimizing crop efficiency and reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizers. By understanding how zinc and FUN regulate nitrogen fixation, researchers might be able to enhance nitrogen delivery, improve crop yields, and promote more sustainable agricultural practices.
The new knowledge about zinc can change the way we cultivate crops, as plants can ...
Only 4% of teen football academy prospects make top tier
2024-06-27
Just four per cent of talented teen academy prospects make it to the top tier of professional football, a new study has shown.
A sample of nearly 200 players, aged between 13-18, also revealed only six per cent of the budding ballers even go on to play in lower leagues.
The University of Essex researchers discovered the players who succeeded excelled in self-confidence, ball reception skills, dribbling and coaches’ subjective technical assessments.
The study – published in the International Journal ...
Chinese cities outsourced on others’ efforts to cut carbon emissions
2024-06-27
Experts have identified 240 Chinese cities whose emission reduction are mainly benefiting from the carbon mitigation actions of other cities, whilst putting in less effort themselves.
Researchers studied the phenomenon across 309 Chinese cities using data from 2012 to 2017 – a period when China underwent economic reform and industrial transformation.
Constructing a city-level input-output model to assess carbon footprints, the researchers identified 78% of the cities as ‘outsourced beneficiaries’, ...
Phytochemical diversity and herbivory are higher in tropical forests: Study
2024-06-27
It is widely accepted that biological interactions are stronger or more important in generating and maintaining biodiversity in the tropics than in temperate regions. However, this hypothesis has not been fully tested in ecology and evolutionary biology.
In a study published in Nature Ecology and Evolution, researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have provided strong support for this central prediction by examining phytochemical diversity and herbivory in 60 tree communities ...
Antarctic ice shelves hold twice as much meltwater as previously thought
2024-06-27
Slush – water-soaked snow – makes up more than half of all meltwater on the Antarctic ice shelves during the height of summer, yet is poorly accounted for in regional climate models.
Researchers led by the University of Cambridge used artificial intelligence techniques to map slush on Antarctic ice shelves, and found that 57% of all meltwater is held in the form of slush, with the remaining amount in surface ponds and lakes.
As the climate warms, more meltwater is formed on the surface of ice shelves, the floating ice surrounding Antarctica which acts as ...
First specific PET scan for TB could enable more effective treatment
2024-06-27
A more accurate way to scan for tuberculosis (TB) has been developed by UK and US researchers, using positron emission tomography (PET).
The team, from the Rosalind Franklin Institute, the Universities of Oxford and Pittsburgh and the National Institutes of Health in the USA, have developed a new radiotracer, which is taken up by live TB bacteria in the body. Radiotracers are radioactive compounds which give off radiation that can be detected by scanners and turned into a 3D image.
The new radiotracer, called FDT, enables PET scans to be used for the first time ...
Ammonites’ fate sealed by meteor strike that wiped out dinosaurs
2024-06-27
Ammonites were not in decline before their extinction, scientists have found.
The marine molluscs with coiled shells and one of palaeontology’s great icons flourished in Earth’s oceans for more than 350 million years until they died out during the same chance event that wiped out the dinosaurs 66 million years ago.
Some palaeontologists have argued that their demise was inevitable and that ammonite diversity was decreasing long before they went extinct at the end of the Cretaceous.
However new research, published today in Nature Communications and led by palaeontologists at the ...
