Open6G: SP2: Joint Open 6G Communications and Sensing

Spain

The Open6G coordinated project, Open RANs for Revolutionary 6G Systems, conducts applied research on open RANs currently underway with the goal of designing and developing a 6G-based open test platform for the new network and sensing applications related to smart surfaces.

  • Open RAN
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Network automation
  • Wireless Sensing
  • Intelligent Surfaces

This sub-project is oriented towards designing and evaluating an integrated sensing and communication system (ISAC) focusing on sensing and communication performance trade-offs and channel models.

Main results of the research carried out in this subproject:

  • Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC) in the THz band.
  • Real-time orchestration of robots using 5G.
  • Localisation and positioning by merging 5G-NR and GNSS.
  • 3D cellular search and rescue with drones.
  • Context prediction for fully immersive multi-user virtual reality.
  • Online operation and orchestration of collaborative robots using 5G.
  • Graph neural networks for nanoscale localisation.
  • Dynamic radio/MEC resource allocation in O-RAN.
