6G-BRICKS
Project Overview
Building Reusable testbed Infrastructures for validating Cloud-to-device breaKthrough technologieS.
6G-BRICKS is a Research and Innovation project in the 6G Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking of Horizon Europe. Its aims to deliver a new 6G facility, which builds on the baseline of mature "Smart Connectivity Beyond 5G" projects such as to bring to life breakthrough technologies, i.e., cell-free and RIS technologies, that will play a key role in beyond 5G networks. Moreover, novel unified control paradigms based on Explainable AI and Machine Reasoning will be explored. All enablers will be delivered in the form of reusable components with open APIs, termed "bricks". Finally, initial integrations with O-RAN will be performed, aiming for the future-proofing and interoperability of 6G-BRICKS outcomes.
Intracom Telecom Participation
In 6G-BRICKs Intracom Telecom will lead the implementation of a resource management and abstraction framework to offer intelligent management of edge cloud resources and services, extended seamlessly to Far Edge and IoT devices. In addition, Intracom Telecom will contribute to the demonstrator with a disaggregated X-Haul solution based on its UltraLink™ XR, which, leveraging its hardware capabilities, will serve as an additional MEC hosting platform for the optimized deployment of 6G-BRICKS cloud native applications.
