Descrizione del progetto
Semplificare la comunicazione trasmettendo solo i dati rilevanti
I moderni sistemi di comunicazione sono legati alla necessità di aumentare la velocità di trasmissione dei dati, dovuta ai servizi di telecomunicazione emergenti. Ma lo scambio di grandi volumi di dati di scarsa rilevanza spreca risorse già scarse e critiche dal punto di vista ambientale, comportando costi e complessità anziché vantaggi nel processo decisionale. Il progetto 6G-GOALS, finanziato dall’UE, affronta il problema sfruttando le comunicazioni semantiche e orientate agli obiettivi, integrando nuovi quadri teorici con architetture e protocolli abilitati dall’intelligenza artificiale, essenziali per distinguere i dati strettamente rilevanti per trasmettere il significato semantico o per raggiungere un obiettivo. Il progetto sviluppa anche protocolli efficienti dal punto di vista dei dati e adattabili alle dinamiche della rete e agli obiettivi di comunicazione. Con i progressi nella rappresentazione semantica dei dati, nel ragionamento distribuito e nelle tecnologie wireless ecologiche, 6G-GOALS si propone di realizzare una netta trasformazione delle comunicazioni mobili.
Obiettivo
Wireless mobile communication has continually evolved towards higher data rates, with 5G expanding its scope to include massive and ultra-reliable low-latency links. The underlying quest in the wireless evolution has been to solve the technical problem of reliable data exchange between two end-points. 6G-GOALS will take the wireless system design to its next stage by considering the significance, relevance, and value of the transmitted data, transforming the potential of the emerging AI/ML-based architectures into a semantic and goal-oriented communication paradigm. Two trends corroborate the timeliness of 6G-GOALS: (1) the burden on wireless networks by data flows with low semantic content or relevance for the end goal; (2) the increased AI capability of network nodes and devices to extract ‘meaning’ and intention from unreliable data flows. These trends underpin the two main objectives of 6G-GOALS: (1) to reduce data traffic by conveying only the most relevant information; (2) to design data-efficient, robust, and resilient protocols that can adapt to network conditions and communication objectives using modern AI/ML techniques. The research breakthroughs and innovation of 6G-GOALS are three-fold: First, 6G-GOALS will develop AI/ML-empowered semantic data representation, sensing, and compression algorithms combining data-and-model-driven approaches, and work towards exploiting untapped gains from AI-based joint source-channel coding. Second, 6G-GOALS will introduce semantic-oriented solutions for supporting distributed reasoning and time-sensitive communication, generalizing low- latency of 5G by tailoring communication to the actual goal. Finally, 6G-GOALS will introduce wireless technologies for sustainability in energy efficiency, EMF exposure, and spectrum management, by defining the concept of semantic cognitive radio.
