AI-based Optimization for 5G Base Stations
SK Telecom and Samsung have recently developed technology that automatically suggests optimal parameters for each base station according to the environment to boost network
Among South Korean mobile providers, both LG U+ and SK Telecom use a 5G non-standalone (NSA) network configuration, where voice is delivered via VoLTE (using the 4G network), while KT employs a 5G standalone (5G SA) network, where voice is carried over the 5G new radio (VoNR).
LG U+ led the market in 2H 2024 overall performance, with the carrier's consistently strong showings across speed, reliability, and latency, allowing it to capture the award for the Best 5G Network in Seoul.
MSIT allocated wide bands to each of the three mobile operators, KT, SK Telecom and LG U+, with the former two receiving 100 MHz, and the latter initially receiving 80 MHz. Despite its spectrum disadvantage, our previous South Korean benchmark placed LG U+ in pole position in terms of median download performance.
Given its level of network densification, and deployment in wide spectrum bands in the prized C-band, it's no surprise that South Korea consistently ranks in the top-10 of Ookla's Speedtest Global Index for mobile performance, (which ranks countries based on median download speeds), currently placing 6th as of October 2024.
