Descripción del proyecto
Una solución innovadora para redes 6G más adaptables, inteligentes y eficientes energéticamente
Los sistemas inalámbricos avanzados posteriores al 5G serán clave para satisfacer las necesidades de la sociedad. La necesidad de crear nuevos indicadores de rendimiento para las redes 6G, sostenibles y ecológicas, así como de integrar la IA y las tecnologías de detección pone de manifiesto la demanda de nuevas tecnologías y soluciones. Financiado por el programa Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, en el proyecto DIRACFEC se pretende diseñar redes inteligentes y energéticamente eficientes para la evolución de la banda ancha móvil mejorada (eMBB+) y la comunicación masiva de tipo máquina (mMTC+) en la próxima era 6G. El equipo de DIRACFEC tiene previsto desarrollar esquemas de acceso múltiple, técnicas de inteligencia de borde y estrategias de transmisión que optimicen la eficiencia energética en un entorno de servicios heterogéneo. Los investigadores también crearán marcos matemáticos para modelar redes densas en las que superficies inteligentes reconfigurables estén controladas por múltiples puntos de acceso de antena.
Objetivo
In our modernized era, beyond-5G and 6G wireless systems will be key to satisfying crucial society demands. The new challenging 6G KPI, the renewed need for sustainable and green networks, and the introduction of AI and sensing, evinces the necessity of incorporating new technologies and of designing novel solutions. In that sense, cell-free massive MIMO, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs), and edge intelligence are anticipated to be key technologies in the 6G era.
DIRACFEC is a 24-months research project that thus concentrates on the Design of Intelligent RIS-Aided Cell-Free networks for Energy-efficient Coexistence between evolved eMBB (eMBB+) and evolved mMTC (mMTC+). More specifically, considering user-centric architectures and distributed multiple antenna deployments, we will present a set of multiple access schemes, edge intelligence techniques, and transmission strategies that optimize the energy efficiency in a heterogeneous service environment, aiming at the coexistence of eMBB+ and mMTC+ services. We will conceive mathematical frameworks to model dense networks where several RISs are controlled by multiple antenna access points. Then, to boost the ultimate performance, we will design the aforementioned approaches for different types of data traffic under the assumption of imperfect channel knowledge. These solutions will be evaluated using numerical and industry level system-level simulations in practical setups.
The project will be carried out by the researcher at the University of Cassino and Lazio Meridionale (Italy), under the supervision of
Prof. Stefano Buzzi. Furthermore, Nokia Bell Labs (France) will host the researcher for a six-months secondment
aimed at validation of the developed solutions on industry level system simulators. The applying researcher is Dr.
Sergi Liesegang, a fresh PhD graduate from the Politechnic University of Barcelona (Spain).
