Descrizione del progetto
Integrazione perfetta di bande a doppia frequenza per servizi di nuova generazione abilitati ai sub-THz
Le reti 6G faranno progredire le reti di comunicazione per trasformare la società, valorizzare le imprese, creare nuove tecnologie e far progredire i sistemi di comunicazione. Si prevede che questi sistemi funzioneranno a frequenze molto elevate, fino ai sub-THz, per ottenere una maggiore capacità complessiva e offrire una precisione di posizionamento superiore. Il progetto 6GTandem, finanziato dall’UE, prevede la co-progettazione di un nuovo funzionamento a doppia frequenza, a frequenze inferiori a 10 GHz e inferiori ai THz, e di una nuova architettura di ricetrasmettitori radio e strisce radio altamente integrata e distribuita per fornire servizi ad alte prestazioni ed efficienza energetica per le future applicazioni 6G.
Obiettivo
TThe 6GTandem project will demonstrate ultra-high-capacity coverage, off-load of lower frequency bands and new services such as sub-cm resolution sensing and positioning in high traffic areas by adding sub-THz carriers to lower frequency bands in a seamless, tightly coordinated fashion. The two frequency bands will form a network collaborating and supporting each other in a “tandem” configuration enabling an introduction of high capacity, energy efficient, sub-THz enabled services, while mitigating known drawbacks of the sub-THz frequency bands such as susceptibility to line-of-sight blockage, coverage, and cost. Deployment will be addressed through the introduction of a thin and light dielectric waveguide to distribute a sub-THz RF signal through a daisy chain of integrated low-power antenna units, referred to as a “radio stripe”. We will demonstrate the use of lower, sub-10 GHz frequency bands to support the sub-THz band with resilience and coverage and the implementation of a distributed MIMO system to extend the coverage of the sub-THz band as well as offering capacities in the order of Tbps system throughput. We will demonstrate the possibility to implement local fronthaul solutions for added sub-10GHz access points using the high bandwidth of sub-THz radio stripes.
Key elements for 6GTandem:
- A system defining an ‘aligned tandem’ dual-frequency distributed MIMO architecture
- Medium-aware waveforms, transmission schemes and communication strategies for energy-efficient operation and development of cross-layer solutions to offer required service levels on the novel dual-frequency infrastructure
- Novel, “radio stripe” hardware including transceivers at 130GHz-175GHz, packaging, integration, and plastic waveguide for a low-cost, easy-deployable sub-THz infrastructure
- Conception of a combined low-frequency and sub-THz distributed MIMO system supporting joint high-resolution sensing, high-accuracy positioning, and high-resilience and reliability communication.
