Project description
AI and blockchain to play big role in Beyond 5G networks
So much has changed since the first generation of wireless cellular technology that was introduced back in the 1980s. Today, 5G is here and promising superfast capabilities for thousands of machines to ‘talk’ to each other at the same time. Beyond 5G is the next step. However, the transition to Beyond 5G poses a security risk with few solutions. The EU-funded NANCY project aims to change this by developing a revolutionary, safe and intelligent architecture for improved security and efficiency in Beyond 5G wireless networks. The architecture will use AI and blockchain technologies to boost safety, improve data management technologies, and develop new solutions for increased efficiency, communication, and resource allocation and management.
Objective
The overall aim of NANCY is to introduce a secure and intelligent architecture for the beyond the fifth generation (B5G) wireless network. Leveraging AI and blockchain, NANCY enables secure and intelligent resource management, flexible networking, and orchestration. In this direction, novel architectures, namely point-to-point (P2P) connectivity for device-to-device connectivity, mesh networking, and relay-based communications, as well as protocols for medium access, mobility management, and resource allocation will be designed. These architectures and protocols will make the most by jointly optimizing the midhaul, and fronthaul. This is expected to enable truly distributed intelligence and transform the network to a low-power computer. Likewise, by following a holistic optimization approach and leveraging the developments in blockchain, NANCY aims at supporting E2E personalized, multi-tenant and perpetual protection.
