Project description
Towards intelligent communications systems beyond 5G
In today’s wireless communication, the scale and complexity of new radio attributes in the new frequency ranges make traditional network management approaches inadequate. The EU-funded ARIADNE project aims to address this issue by merging a novel high-frequency advanced radio architecture with an artificial intelligence network processing and management approach into a new type of intelligent communications system beyond 5G. It will develop new radio communication technologies using D-Band frequency ranges, exploit new opportunities for advanced connectivity based on metasurfaces, and apply machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques to management. In this way, the project will make reliable high-bandwidth wireless communications possible beyond 5G.
Objective
The ARIADNE project plans to bring together a novel high frequency advanced radio architecture and an Artificial Intelligence (AI) network processing and management approach into a new type of intelligent communications system Beyond 5G. The new intelligent system approach is necessary because the scale and complexity of the new radio attributes in the new frequency ranges cannot be optimally operated using traditional network management approaches.
The ARIADNE project will enable efficient high-bandwidth wireless communications by developing three complementary but critical new technologies for Beyond 5G networks in an integrated and innovative way:
ARIADNE will develop new radio technologies for communications using the above 100Ghz D-Band frequency ranges, (Pillar 1)
ARIDANE will exploit the opportunities emerging for advanced connectivity based on metasurfaces where objects in the environment can become tuneable reflectors for shaping the propagation environment in D-band. (Pillar 2)
ARIDANE will employ Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence techniques to management necessary for the high-frequency communications and dynamic assignment and reconfiguration of the metasurfaces to provide continuous reliable High Bandwidth connections in the Beyond 5G scenario. (Pillar 3)
