Project description
A blueprint for the data 'highway' of tomorrow’s mobile traffic
The fifth generation of mobile networks (5G) is a new wireless standard that is spreading its wings around the globe to connect virtually any person and object in an Internet of Things. Increasing bandwidth or accessible frequencies on which information is carried will be necessary to keep all that traffic flowing smoothly and reliably. Making use of so-called millimetre wave bands from 30 to 300 gigahertz is an important area of policy discussion. However, envisioning an exponential increase in data traffic, many heads are already preparing for even higher and broader terahertz frequencies. The EU-funded 5G-ACE project is developing new network models for mobile connectivity beyond 5G, leveraging engineering tools and practical experimentation.
Objective
5G-ACE is engineered to be a two year Standard European Fellowship (EF) that aims to strengthen the ER (Experience Researcher)’s repository of scientific and transferable skills to place him in a strong position towards professional maturity, either at the host (University of South Wales) by targeting an “Academic Position by Research”, or as an independent researcher at leading international research centres and universities in Europe. The personalized training will identify key use cases and frequency bands for THz-based mobile communications, develop new 3D network models that take into account spatial coupling by re-examining legacy engineering tools such as stochastic geometry through interdisciplinary design, and involve practical experimentation that will be implemented as scheduled secondments at Nokia Bell Labs (Belgium), and Sigint Solutions Ltd (Cyprus). To complement the scientific training, the ER’s skill set will be enriched through a tailor-made Personal Career Development Plan (PCDP) that not only includes the core transferable skills (e.g academic teaching, IPR management, research commercialization), but will identify other relevant complementary skills to provide a well-rounded research personality ready to embark on his 5G legacy and beyond.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
