Title:

6G-BRICKS: Building Reusable testbed Infrastructures for validating Cloud-to-device breaKthrough technologieS

Program:

HORIZON Europe - SNS experimental Infrastructure

Duration:

36 months

Summary:

Sixth generation (6G) wireless technology, which currently only exists as a concept, will create seamless connectivity between the physical and cyber worlds. The technology will use higher frequencies than 5G networks and provide substantially higher capacity and lower latency. Academia and industry are investigating a new generation of smart networks with enhanced capacity (by at least one order of magnitude) and new infrastructures to deploy these very dense networks. The EU-funded 6G-BRICKS aims to establish an experimental research facility to evaluate two key 6G candidate technologies: reconfigurable intelligent surfaces and cell-free massive multiple input multiple output. Novel unified control paradigms based on explainable AI and machine reasoning will also be explored.
