Flexibly Scalable Energy Efficient Networking

Project description

Greater photonics integration will unleash the power of 6G x-haul networks

The EU-funded FLEX-SCALE project performs disruptive research on optical x-haul network approaches related to optical switching nodes and their transceiver interfaces that enable flexible capacity scaling (>10 Tb/s rate per interface, >10 Pb/s capacity per link and >100 Pb/s throughput per optical node), based on utilisation of ultra-high bandwidth photonic/plasmonic technologies and the efficient exploitation of optical spatial and spectral switching (UWB/SDM). The network elements will be controlled by an ML-enabled SDN control plane that incorporates new resource allocation algorithms, enabling autonomous programmable disaggregated networks. It will achieve record energy efficiency (sub-pJ per switched/transmitted bit) and low cost, enabled by photonic integration and optical transparency and the optimised traffic routing across network layers and segments, thus improving network QoS as per 6G requirements.
