5G PPP hands over to SNS

Less than five 5G PPP projects are still ongoing – Very Last latest news!

 

Cogninn’s role in the 5G-IANA project

Cogninn has leveraged the funding from 5G-IANA to develop an AR streaming services running over the 5G mobile networks and provide services for general smart cities, retailing and other services but with focus on infotainment services in automotive industry. To this end, Cogninn has been and still is working on an augmented reality and virtual reality (AR/VR) Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) to support beyond 5G XR services with low latency. The MEC server follows the NFV MANO architecture with several VNFs, which can deploy different AR/VR frameworks from different vendors and 3rd party developers. The MEC server is the best solution for telecom and internet content providers given that can be attached to the 5G network easily through specific interfaces. In addition to the visualization offered using MEC, scalability without the use of custom devices is valuable in the network. The NFV MANO architecture comes to provide a solution to this problem, offering scalability to existing equipment and the creation of network services without the need to purchase a proprietary device for this purpose. MEC provides low latency AR services as follows:

  • Local Processing: MEC allows data to be processed closer to the end user, reducing the time it takes for data to travel between the user’s device and the server. This is crucial for AR applications, which require real-time processing to provide a seamless experience.
  • Fast Response: AR applications can offload computationally intensive tasks, such as image recognition and 3D rendering, to the edge servers, resulting in faster response times and smoother interactions.

Cogninn aims to provide the following infotainment services that can be also used in general AR type of devices such as future glasses:

  • Augmented Navigation: Enhance navigation application service with AR to overlay directions and points of interest on the real-world view.
  • Historical Tours: Use AR to overlay historical images and information over current views of landmarks and historical sites.
  • Virtual Try-Ons: Allow customers to try on clothes, accessories, and even makeup using AR, enhancing the online shopping experience.
  • Narrative Experiences: Create immersive stories where users can interact with characters and environments, making storytelling more engaging.

By integrating AR into these various domains, the infotainment industry can offer more immersive, engaging, and interactive experiences, transforming how users consume and interact with content.

INCITES’ role in the 5G-IANA project
5G-IANA aims at providing an open 5G experimentation platform, on top of which third party experimenters, i.e., Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the Automotive-related vertical have the opportunity to develop, deploy and test their services.
InCites Consulting is leading the tasks related to the development of the most appropriate business models that can be used for the exploitation and sustainability of the 5G-IANA platform. Based on the word performed here are some key aspects that should be considered. The problems that the 5G-IANA AOEP aims to address are associated with the lack of specialized 5G experimental platforms that can be accessible by third party experimenters, where they can run their experiments and validate their solutions. 5G-IANA offers access to resources specific to the automotive vertical, while the VNF repository and the network application toolkit can assist third parties to compose their own services even if their level of expertise is low. Regarding the competition there are some generic emulators that have several limitations with the most important to be the lack of resources needed for the development of services in the automotive vertical. There are other experimental platforms from other 5G projects that are developed under the same call, from 5G-PPP earlier phases or from national funded projects; but to the best of our knowledge no platform is targeting explicitly the automotive vertical. The value of the 5G-IANA platform, the solution that the 5G-IANA platform offers, includes 5G testbeds, HW resources, SW resources and toolkits, along with human capital that are difficult to be offered from other stakeholders, while MNOs that could potentially offer such resources are not for the moment eager to open up their networks to external parties. The value of 5G experimental platforms lies in their ability to accelerate the development, testing, and validation of network applications in the context of 5G networks in the automotive vertical. There are two main target groups that can benefit from their interaction with 5G-IANA.The first target group includes experimenters, researchers, application and service providers, SMEs and startups. The value that 5G-IANA offers to that market segment can be analysed in the following elements: Promote innovation and research, Limiting the risk of innovation, Use case validation, Realistic testing, Fostering collaboration, Education and Training. The second market segment that 5G-IANA can target includes Mobile Network Operators (MNOs). By partnering with 5G-IANA platform, mobile operators can leverage a wide range of benefits, from accelerated innovation and cost efficiency to enhanced customer experience and new revenue opportunities. The value that 5G-IANA can offer to that market segment can be summarized in the following: Rapid Testing and Deployment, Competitive advantage, Enhanced network performance, Improved customer experience, Generation of new revenue streams, Migrate risk, and Increase expertise.

5G-EPICENTRE successfully addressed the problems that a containerised vertical may experience when communicating with its own or third-party services, tackling the containerised inter-cluster issue. Finally, the story sets out accessible K8-based solutions, explaining the rationale and linking to the main sources of information. It therefore offers a quick reference guide to streamline the process of adopting microservices and containerization and anticipates potential problems that future developers will need to face, proposing concrete step-by-step solutions.

 5G-LOGINNOV White Paper “How can 5G reshape port logistics?”

 

In April 2024, 5G-LOGINNOV published a White Paper on “How can 5G reshape port logistics?”.

Key insights from this White Paper include:

5G technology presented a transformative opportunity for the logistics industry, particularly in the realm of port and dry port operations. By leveraging the advanced capabilities of 5G, stakeholders can unlock new avenues for improved efficiency, cost reduction, and operational optimization.

The main insights from 5G-LOGINNOV can be categorised into three main key areas: technical, operational, and business:

  • From a technical standpoint, 5G’s high-speed data transfer, low latency, and massive connectivity enabled the creation of new and improved services and products that foster enhanced operations. This is particularly essential for ports situated in urban areas, where seamless integration with the surrounding environment is essential. The ability to transmit large amounts of data in real time allowed for precise tracking and monitoring of cargo, containers, and assets, optimising movements and minimising bottlenecks.
  • Operationally, the synergy between 5G, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and artificial intelligence (AI) opened new paradigms in port operations. The vast array of data gathered from these interconnected systems paved the way for exploring concepts such as synchromodality and the physical internet. Synchromodality involves the intelligent and dynamic selection of transportation modes and routes based on real-time data, while the physical internet envisions a seamless, open, and interconnected logistics system akin to the physical internet.
  • From a business perspective, 5G’s characteristics, included low latency, high bandwidth, and the ability to integrate public and private networks, enhanced existing business models. Port managers and logistics operators can leverage these capabilities to improve their performance and introduce a holistic view of sustainability encompassing operational, economic, environmental, and social aspects. Moreover, 5G enabled the integration of complementary technologies beyond those currently in use, as identified through stakeholder surveys. Notably, 5G’s disruptive potential extends beyond enhancing existing business models. It paves the way for the emergence of new business models aligned with the “Many-1-Many” (M1M) paradigm. This paradigm envisions a dynamic ecosystem where multiple stakeholders can collaborate seamlessly, enabling the creation of innovative services and solutions that transcend traditional boundaries.

1.    Objectives of the workshop

Since the early generations, mobile and wireless communications systems have played a crucial role in establishing essential connectivity. They have facilitated easy access to information anytime and anywhere, leading to accelerated knowledge build-up and value-added actions across various sectors of society. The significance of wireless communication infrastructure has been further highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic, as it has supported global stability and faster recovery by maintaining a stable technological environment and seamless societal connections despite quarantine regulations.

Recognizing the critical role and importance of mobile and wireless communications, advancements in the telecommunications ecosystem are captured through non-backward compatible features specified in a new generation of mobile and wireless communications systems. Transitioning from one generation to the next requires significant efforts, and the justification for a new generation must consider technical, societal, and economic factors. These factors are interconnected, meaning that advancements in any of these areas can accelerate the overall process. For example, the need to explore new business areas also entails supporting a diverse set of requirements.

In this context, 3GPP standardization has progressed rapidly, and more 5G system enhancements are reaching maturity with the completion of Release 17, while Release 18 is marking the start of 5G-Advanced. Release 19 is underway to provide a guidance on what future the 6G system needs to be capable of, and Release 20 is in preparation. At the same time, the Smart Networks and Services (SNS JU) in Europe, under the Horizon Europe program for Research and Innovation, has started to date more than 60 project in Phases 1 and 2, and more projects are underway. The European SNS JU program is a joint initiative between the private and the public side and focuses on 5G-Advanced and 6G.

To address the architectural evolution towards 6G, the SNS 6G Architecture Working Group (WG) has evolved from the 5G PPP Architecture WG, which has issued several white papers and an open-access book, with the latest one specifically focusing on this workshop’s topics. The workshop aims to discuss novel key architectural innovations required for future 6G mobile telecommunications networks. It also provides a platform for projects working on long-term innovations and formulating research items under the 6G theme to share their visions, requirements, and architectural considerations for future mobile systems.

The thematic topics of the workshop revolve around technology enablers and design recommendations, facilitating the transition from 5G-Advanced towards a fully-fledged 6G architecture. These topics will encompass areas such as network infrastructure, spectrum utilization, connectivity, scalability, sustainability, security, as well as joint/integrated communication and sensing, among others. The workshop will source from the very vibrant SNS JU research community that is already working on the topics, providing reference architectural solutions.

In summary, the rapid progress in mobile telecommunications has demonstrated their crucial role in establishing connectivity and fostering knowledge sharing. The ongoing efforts in 5G standardization, the SNS JU projects (and previously the 5G PPP projects), and the upcoming focus on 5G-Advanced and 6G research indicate the industry’s dedication to advancing mobile telecommunications systems. The workshop aims to explore architectural innovations and provide a collaborative platform to shape the future of mobile telecommunications systems.
