Project description
Technological breakthroughs for the future of 6G
Cutting-edge 6G wireless technologies promise revolutionary advancements in broadband connectivity and beyond, towards network architectures that are able not only to connect but also to ‘sense the world’, offering substantial benefits to corporations and end users. The EU-funded INSTINCT project aims to chart a pioneering path for 6G development by spearheading critical innovative technological breakthroughs, laying the groundwork for further progress. The project endeavours to develop sensing-assisted communications, communications-assisted sensing and multi-functional AI-aided joint communications and sensing intelligence for mapping, tracking, imaging, incident detection and other situational awareness applications. Additionally, INSTINCT aims to leverage intelligent surfaces for improved multi-functional tuneability. Ultimately, the project brings together European academia and industry stakeholders to pursue its objectives and impact 6G technology adoption and standards.
Objective
The INSTINCT project is going to enable globally sustainable, interactive, immersive, and intelligent ‘beyond communications’ 6G connectivity by developing three complementary but critical breakthrough technology pillars:
·sensing-assisted communication technologies, thus allowing localization, tracking, mapping, monitoring, imaging, incident detection and semantics become integral parts of connectivity services (Pillar 1),
·intelligent surfaces, holographic radios and cell free systems, which offer wavefront engineering functionalities and tuneability of the wireless environment and can act as reconfigurable and intelligent sensors (Pillar 2), and
·Machine Learning (ML) techniques-based co-design of Sensing and Communications
INSTINCT proposes a revolutionary path to 6G and has the ambition to specify the relevant KPIs/KVIs, formulate suitable models, devise the theoretical framework, invent new technologies, evaluate via simulations and validate by means of 2 HW and 1 SW demonstrators, a networked intelligence concept able to meet the unprecedented 6G requirements. To realise this vision, INSTINCT consortium brings together all relevant stakeholders from across Europe, with an impressive record of interdisciplinary research excellence, technology innovation, standardisation and transfer, and implementation expertise.
