Open6G
Open RANs for revolutionary 6G systems

The project

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.

This subproject seeks the automation of networks controlled by AI for the management of resource control, detection/analysis/action mechanisms against anomalous behavior and federated learning for high mobility scenarios.

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.
This subproject aims to integrate reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) into the network infrastructure for communication tasks, detection, localisation, and computation.


Main results of the research carried out in this sub-project:
– Design principles of an O-RAN compatible testbed.
– Data sets collected from a large set of experiments.
– An AI-based intelligent radio controller (AIRIC) to organise vRAN computing resources.
– Risk-aware decision-making framework for contextual bandit problems, considering constraints and continuous action spaces.
– Optimal design of a virtual reality network assisted by a multi-user intelligent reconfigurable surface.
– Efficiency of cache allocation mechanisms to reduce total energy consumption in O-RANs.
– CloudRIC, a system that addresses the limitations of current vRANs.
– ARES, a system capable of autonomously optimising the configuration of intelligent reconfigurable surfaces.
– RISENSE, a protocol based on transmitting amplitude modulation (AM) signals over 5G orthogonal frequency division modulation (OFDM) signals to control smart reconfigurable surfaces to minimise the load on the 5G network.
