The 6G-TWIN consortium includes partners such as Ericsson, Proximus, and Viavi
The Luxembourg University of Science and Technology (LIST) has confirmed that it will coordinate a project called 6G-TWIN for future 6G mobile networks. The project will be funded by the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) under the Horizon Europe program.
Established by the European Commission in 2021, SNS JU serves as a foundation for promoting the growth of intelligent communication components, systems and networks.
“Each generation of mobile technology takes approximately 10 years to evolve from concept to commercial deployment,” said 6G-TWIN project coordinator Sebastian Fay. “Starting with the first generation, which brought basic cellular connectivity, to 5G, which powers innovative applications such as connected and automated mobility, each iteration introduces new features to meet ever-growing demands. Networks are becoming increasingly complex and distributed, requiring a wide variety of technologies to operate. 6G is currently scheduled to arrive around 2030 and will require the design of new network architectures with more intelligence and automation. It is essential to experiment, standardize, and that is what we propose with this project.”
Fay also said that the 6G-TWIN consortium will “explore the concept of network digital twin (NDT) and its integration into future 6G systems.”
“6G will enable real-time interaction between physical networks and their digital copies to optimize various parameters, predict failures, improve energy efficiency, etc., paving the way to highly efficient and intelligent networks. “We will open up the door,” he added.
The 6G-TWIN consortium is comprised of multiple organizations, from universities and research centers (IMEC, Polytechnic University of Bari, Dresden University of Technology, University of Burgundy) to small and medium-sized enterprises (Accelleran, Research to Market Solutions France, Ubiware) and large industrial associations. Consists of partners. (Ericsson, Araştırma Geliştirme ve Bilisim Hizmetleri A.Ş., Proximus Luxembourg, Viavi Solutions). Proximus Luxembourg and Telindus are local companies participating in this initiative.
The 6G Smart Networks and Services Industry Association (6G-IA) and the 5G Media Action Group (5G-MAG) recently entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the primary objective of collaborating on topics of mutual interest in the following areas: I signed it. -Generations of communications networks, systems, and applications.
The companies said in a joint release that the memorandum will enable the exchange of information on joint activities, workshops, participation in conferences and webinars, and insights on research projects and trials.
6G-IA focuses on Beyond 5G (B5G) and 6G research, pre-standard activities, policy and regulatory issues, 5G and 6G frequency concepts, international cooperation, and vertical enterprise engagement to shape next-generation industries. We carry out a wide range of activities such as: Example of use.
The main objective of 6G-IA is to contribute to European leadership in 5G, 5G evolution and SNS/6G research, the group said. 6G-IA represents the private side of both the 5G Public Private Partnership (5G-PPP) and the Smart Network and Services Joint Venture (SNS JU). In 5G-PPP and SNS JU, the European Commission represents the public side.
