Descrizione del progetto
Passi verso il 6G
Le reti 5G forniscono velocità di dati e caratteristiche senza precedenti. Eppure queste capacità sono ancora lontane da ciò di cui una società e un’industria iperconnesse hanno bisogno. La futura connettività wireless oltre il 5G avrà bisogno di una piattaforma intelligente e verde che sia altamente adattabile, ultra-veloce e affidabile per supportare in modo sicuro applicazioni innovative e antropocentriche. È questo il fulcro del progetto DEDICAT 6G, finanziato dall’UE, che studia soluzioni per la distribuzione dinamica dell’intelligenza per migliorare il tempo di esecuzione dei processi, l’efficienza energetica e, infine, ridurre la latenza end-to-end. Il progetto indaga anche sugli abilitatori per le estensioni di copertura dinamica che sfruttano robot, droni e veicoli connessi. L’ambito include tecniche per la sicurezza, la privacy e la garanzia della fiducia, compresi i facilitatori per una nuova interazione tra esseri umani e sistemi digitali utilizzando interfacce e dispositivi innovativi, come gli occhiali intelligenti.
Obiettivo
In future 6G wireless networks, it is imperative to support more dynamic resourcing and connectivity to improve adaptability, performance, and trustworthiness in the presence of emerging human-centric services with heterogeneous computation needs. DEDICAT 6G aims to develop a smart connectivity platform using artificial intelligence and blockchain techniques that will enable 6G networks to combine the existing communication infrastructure with novel distribution of intelligence (data, computation and storage) at the edge to allow not only flexible, but also energy efficient realisation of the envisaged real-time experience. DEDICAT 6G takes the next vital step beyond 5G by addressing techniques for achieving and maintaining an efficient dynamic connectivity and intelligent placement of computation in the mobile network. In addition, the proposal targets the design and development of mechanisms for dynamic coverage extension through the exploitation of novel terminals and mobile client nodes, e.g. smart connected cars, robots and drones. DEDICAT also addresses security, privacy and trust assurance especially for mobile edge services and enablers for novel interaction between humans and digital systems. The aim is to achieve (i) more efficient use of resources; (ii) reduction of latency, response time, and energy consumption; (iii) reduction of operational and capital expenditures; and (iv) reinforcement of security, privacy and trust. DEDICAT 6G will focus on four use cases: Smart warehousing, Enhanced experiences, Public Safety and Smart Highway. The use cases will pilot the developed solutions via simulations and demonstrations in laboratory environments, and larger field evaluations exploiting various assets and testing facilities. The results are expected to show significant improvements in terms of intelligent network load balancing and resource allocation, extended connectivity, enhanced security, privacy and trust and human-machine interactions.
