Risultati finali

Documents, reports (4)

Initial results on cloud continuum framework and resource orchestration framework

The first design of the cloud continuum framework and continuum management and orchestration framework, with basic functionalities in the building blocks, interfaces, and resource partition mechanisms.

Prototype plan and evaluation methodology

Describe the prototype development plan for three PoCs and define the evaluation methods and criteria as a reference for further PoC evaluation and architecture analysis.

Initial results on NS composition, distributed AI/ML model, and NDT

This report includes the first results regarding service-oriented design (including NetApps), interfaces, and mechanisms for UE-RAN-Core NFs integration, the first set of distributed AI/ML models for RAN NFs, and the use of NDT in an AI/ML framework for RAN control.

Dissemination and Communication Strategy and Plan

Provide the dissemination and communication foundation, including the strategic guidance to direct 6G-Cloud community building activities for broad and durable impact.
