Deliverables

Documents, reports (13)

6G x-haul network architecture

This deliverable will describe the network architecture including models and expected performance.

Simulation/Algorithms for dispersion compensation

Designs of algorithms for polarization tracking and CD/DGD compensation and supporting AIC methodology for stabilization of the ROSA photonic circuits.

Initial plan

Initial report on communication, exploitation and dissemination – Year 1.

Preliminary design of the PROTEUS-6G service management, orchestration and control enablers

This report will identify and provide a preliminary design of the key technologies enabling technologies required for the PROTEUS-6G service management, orchestration and control enablers for the target 6G packet-optical x-haul network, based on use-cases and network architecture defined in WP2, and preliminary node and TXR designs defined in WP3/WP4.

Data Management Plan

Report on the overall plan about the data collection and processing, and about what methodologies and standards will be followed for the curation and preservation of data.

Design of phase-diversity RFIC

Simulation and design report for the phase-diversity RFIC towards its tape-out.

6G x-haul network requirements

This deliverable will describe the 6G x-haul network requirements and will define the KPIs adopted to measure the performance of the developed sub-systems and the entire PROTEUS-6G network.

Project Management and Quality Handbook

Report on technical management; initial (a), interim update (b) and final (c).

Demonstration plan & test scenarios

This deliverable will outline the plan for the demonstrations in WP6 and the test bed preparation activities.

Report on the website and social media activities.

Final design and preliminary implementation of the PROTEUS-6G service management, orchestration and control enablers

This report will present the final design of the PROTEUS-6G service management, orchestration and control framework and early implementation of the enablers for the target 6G packet-optical x-haul network.

Hardware implementations for the Spatially-Diverse Point to Multi-Point distribution unit

This report will present the various implementation studies for the SDPtMP distribution unit based on the constituent filtering/switching components, outlining their pros/cons in terms of functionality vs. implementation complexity as well as specify preferred choice, detailing the pertinent trade-offs analysis (in synchrony with WP2 activity).

Preliminary Network optimization strategies

This deliverable will report on models and preliminary simulations for PROTEUS-6G fronthaul and midhaul fulfilling E2E requirements as defined in T2.1.
