Flexible Open Architecture and AI-driven Enabling Technologies for a Novel 6G Connectivity Platform
FLECON-6G is a EU Horizon JU Research and Innovation Actions funded project from the call System Architecture – Standardisation and Follow-up/PoCs (https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/topic-details/HORIZON-JU-SNS-2024-STREAM-B-01-01).
The FLECON-6G project aims to develop an innovative blueprint for 6G architecture, characterised by its distributed, modular, open, and collaborative frameworks. This architecture is built on trustworthy principles and incorporates multi-layer Network Digital Twins (NDTs), which integrate seamlessly across various domains—from resource management to control and management planes, extending all the way to the business layer.
FLECON-6G envisions an “Intelligent 6G Network of Networks” that seamlessly integrates Native and Trustworthy AI. This vision empowers the automated and scalable orchestration of services and capabilities across diverse networks, subsystems, and technological domains, fostering collaboration among multiple stakeholders.
FLECON-6g involves 19 partners: Athena Research Center, Eurecom, CNIT, Tu Delft, UCLan Cyprus, Ebos Technologies, Iquadrat Informatica, Nextworks, Brainstorm Multimedia, E-Lighthouse Network Solutions, Realworld Eastern Europe, Airbus, Ericsson, Lenovo, Nvidia, Siemens, Orange Romania, OTE Group and Telefonica.
ANTlab participates under the CNIT umbrella with Gianni Antichi involved wihin the project.
