Hexa-X-II Work Package 2 has released its third deliverable D2.3, advancing further into the overall 6G system design. The report analyses and recommends the most relevant technical enablers for the 6G end-to-end system. This guides the refinement of the E2E system blueprint. Lastly, updates on the System-level Proof of Concepts (System-PoC) are included.
Analyzing and recommending key enablers for advancing the 6G system
- This report examines key technical enablers for the 6G system, including those developed in the Hexa-X-II project and others proposed by Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS-JU).
- Radio Interface and Protocol Evolution: Building on 5G learnings, unique radio protocol advancements, and leveraging cutting-edge technologies like AI are recommended to meet 6G requirements.
- Architectural Advancements: A data-driven approach, modular design, flexible topology, cloud transformation, and networks that extend beyond mere communication are pivotal enablers for the 6G system.
- Management and Orchestration: The intent-based management and orchestration framework is further enhanced to support advanced operational capabilities.
- Security, Privacy, and Resilience (SPR): enablers for SPR controls are the foundational mechanisms for threat prevention, detection, and mitigation.
Refining the 6G system blueprint and providing updates on E2E system PoC outcomes
The 6G system blueprint has been updated from D2.2, offering a holistic system perspective. A knowledge graph (KG) method is proposed for integrating crucial enablers, considering their importance, maturity level, and alignment with design principles. The report provides new findings from System-PoC A, focusing on a warehouse use case with cobots and drones, and previews System-PoC B which builds upon the foundation of System-PoC A.
