Description du projet
Former une nouvelle génération de chercheurs aux technologies 5G
Conçue pour répondre à la croissance massive des données et de la connectivité, la 5G (la cinquième génération de réseaux mobiles) implique une évolution significative des réseaux LTE 4G actuels. Toutefois, l’exploitation de cette nouvelle architecture de réseau mobile et l’optimisation de son potentiel exigent des innovations appropriées en matière d’algorithmes et une automatisation des réseaux axée sur les données. Le projet SEMANTIC, financé par l’UE, mettra en place une structure avancée de recherche et de formation portant sur les communications dans le spectre multi-GHz, de fourniture de services répondant à la norme MEC et de découpage du réseau de bout en bout. Le projet vise à former des chercheurs en début de carrière (CDC) sous la férule de professionnels de l’industrie, afin de tirer un parti maximal de l’énorme potentiel que présente la technologie 5G.
Objectif
-The 5G mobile network architecture, which is currently consolidated (in terms of network components, technologies and interfaces), reveals a great network performance potential, appealing to different vertical market players. However, this potential cannot be fully harnessed without the appropriate algorithmic innovations and data-driven network automation that will permit full exploitation, global management and end-to-end integration of all the heterogeneous network components and resources. However, despite the rapidly increasing efforts devoted to the consolidation of the core 5G technologies(e.g. 5GPPP phase 2/3 projects), substantial work is still required to meet the IMT-2020 objectives set for the 5G network performance and fully harness the multitude of technological capabilities offered by 5G with minimum human intervention (e.g. through intelligent network automation and control). SEMANTIC aims to answer the aforementioned performance and technological gaps by forming an innovative research and training network for multi-GHz spectrum communications, MEC-empowered service provisioning and end-to-end network slicing, all integrated and jointly orchestrated by forward-looking data-driven network control and automation exploiting the enormous amounts of mobile big data spurred into the mobile data network. In this context, SEMANTIC will form an integrated, multi-disciplinary training network of Early Stage Researchers (ESRs), guided by experienced supervisors, aiming at the creation of highly-trained academic researchers and industrial professionals with a future-proof background on PHY design for multi-GHz communications, end-to-end MEC/RAN integration, slice-enabled connectivity and data-driven network orchestration in the 5G continuum.
