Open6G: SP2: Joint Open 6G Communications and Sensing

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.
