Ericsson Partners with Nokia and Fraunhofer HHI

Ericsson has announced a collaboration with Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute (HHI) and Nokia to enhance immersive media and mobile video user experiences.

The partners are combining video codec research for the first time to shape coding standardisation for the 6G era, aiming to boost European 6G video coding standards.

Researchers have jointly demonstrated a new video codec with considerably higher compression efficiency than current standards (H.264/AVC, H.265/HEVC, and H.266/VVC) with no significant increase in complexity.

Energy efficiency and scalability were also improved, providing early evidence that the technology meets the requirements of the next phase in video coding standardisation.

Ericsson, Nokia, and Fraunhofer HHI have combined research to drive the next generation of standards for the 6G era.
