Optimized 6G-enabled IoT networks for unlicensed operations in the computing continuum

Objective

OPTIMUS-6G will develop a multi-domain network architectural framework that enhances multi-functional communication for IoT devices and applications in 6G unlicensed bands, addressing future use cases and optimising their performance. This will be achieved through the design of novel multi-band and multi-RAT models that optimize the operation of heterogeneous IoT devices across unlicensed 6G bands (6G-U), spanning multiple communication technologies (radio, optical) and domains (IoT, edge, cloud), as well as the development of an advanced digital twin (DT)-enabled framework to calibrate these models and test them on tangible use cases. To enable seamless integration of the OPTIMUS-6G architecture into the 6G-IoT ecosystem, the project will leverage multi-band communication by implementing cutting-edge technologies in both radio and optical bands to ensure reliable, high-bandwidth, and low-latency connectivity. It will also introduce hardware-agnostic, cross-layer protocols to optimize communications and data processing across heterogeneous IoT devices along the computing continuum. Furthermore, OPTIMUS-6G will enhance resource and data orchestration for network and application optimization by applying advanced AI-enabled mechanisms. The DT-enabled framework will be central to testing and evaluation, ensuring its seamless integration into the 6G-IoT framework. Finally, the deployed architecture will be validated and assessed across three use cases, focusing on unlicensed IoT operations to support long-term unattended deployments in manufacturing, healthcare, and campus networks.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
