🕒 3 mins

Date: 26 June 2024
Time: at 14:00 CEST Geneva | 08:00-09:00 EDT, New York | 20:00-21:00 CST, Beijing

Programme stream: Discovery – AI/ML in 5G
Topics: 6G

Radio resource management (RRM) involves selecting key transmission parameters—such as transmit power, frequency resources, precoder, and modulation. The complexity of this process is expected to increase significantly with the tenfold densification anticipated in 6G networks compared to 5G. The concept of in-X subnetworks has been introduced as a further leap of heterogeneous network, with the aim of providing highly localized wireless coverage for use cases such as in-robot, in-production module, in-vehicle, in-room communication. These subnetworks are expected to support diverse services, possibly extreme requirements in terms of ultra-short control cycle time, reliability, and service availability, surpassing the capabilities of 5G and its evolution.
While the specific characteristics of in-X subnetworks can offer opportunities for efficient radio design, interference can be a major limiting factor in dense deployments. Subnetworks may be then characterized by such high density (e.g., vehicles in a congested road, robots in matrix production), and they can also be mobile, leading to rapid interference fluctuations. These aspects may result in wide and rapidly fluctuating interference patterns, which make the RRM problem more challenging than in traditional wireless setups, characterized by static base stations/access points and lower cell densities.
The radio resource management problem is usually non-convex with NP-hardness, while traditional optimization methods and heuristics have shown efficacy in certain scenarios, these algorithms have exponential computational complexity and typically require many iterations. The dynamic and complex environment of In-X subnetworks, coupled with stringent low latency requirements, calls for more adaptive solutions with lower computational complexity. This necessity is driving the adoption of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) solutions. This challenge, supported by two EU SNS JU projects, 6G-SHINE and CENTRIC, focuses on developing machine learning-based solutions for optimizing sub-band allocation and power control within dense in-factory subnetworks.
This live event includes a 20-minute networking event hosted on the AI for Good Neural Network. This is your opportunity to ask questions, interact with the panelists and participants and build connections with the AI for Good community.

Conference Scope

Sustainability targets and climate change objectives cannot be met without addressing buildings and the built environment at the building, district and urban scale including our transport and energy infrastructures. Renowned for showcasing results coming out of the EU Horizon 2020 and EU Horizon Europe Framework Programme via the participation of cutting-edge research and innovation projects, the scope of Sustainable Places is captured directly in its name. It involves designing, building and retrofitting the places we live and work more sustainably.

Conference Concept

Sustainable Places prides itself on being an ideal platform for the dissemination of research, the conduct of workshops, EU project clustering and networking between stakeholders of all types. SP2024 will be held over three days in a hybrid (digital + in-person) event format.

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.
