Descripción del proyecto
Mejora de la localización de las infraestructuras 5G
En muchas aplicaciones, los sistemas deben ser capaces de recopilar información sobre su entorno y adaptar su comportamiento en consecuencia. Con todo, las tecnologías de localización actuales tienen varios inconvenientes relacionados con la imposibilidad de funcionar en interiores, proporcionar una localización de alta precisión o mantener bajos los costes. El objetivo del proyecto LOCUS, financiado con fondos europeos, es mejorar la funcionalidad de las infraestructuras 5G para proporcionar una información de localización precisa y ubicua, y derivar características más complejas y patrones de comportamiento a partir de la localización en bruto y de los eventos físicos. El proyecto ayudará a aumentar el valor global del ecosistema 5G haciendo posibles nuevas aplicaciones, impulsando las industrias verticales y creando nuevas oportunidades de negocio para las empresas de telecomunicaciones.
Objetivo
Context-awareness is essential for many existing and emerging applications. Context information greatly relies on location information of people and things. But, navigation satellite systems are denied in indoor environments, current cellular systems fail to provide high-accuracy localization, other local localization technologies (e.g. WI-FI or BT) imply high deployment/maintenance/integration costs. Raw spatiotemporal data are not sufficient by themselves and need to be integrated with tools for the analysis of the behaviour of physical targets, to extract relevant feature of interests.
LOCUS will improve the functionality of 5G infrastructures to: i) provide accurate and ubiquitous location information as a network-native service and ii) derive more complex features and behavioural patterns out of raw location and physical events, and expose them to applications via simple interfaces. Localization, together with analytics, and their combined provision “as a service”, will greatly increase the overall value of the 5G ecosystem, allowing network operators to better manage their networks and to dramatically expand the range of offered applications and services. The current freedom to act on 5G system design and availability of software network paradigms and AI techniques uniquely combine in this historical moment to make it possible to radically improve the future network by endowing it with accurate on-demand localization and analytics.
LOCUS will showcase its solutions in three scenarios: Smart Network Management based on Location Information of 5G equipment; Network-assisted Self-driving Objects; People Mobility & Flow Monitoring.
The LOCUS consortium gathers a diverse blend of high-profile partners including Operators, Vendors, IT industries and SMEs that can make its vision a reality. LOCUS will be an enabler of a myriad of applications for the 5G ecosystem and beyond, boosting vertical industries and creating new business opportunities also for telcos.
