Imagine if your phone could connect directly to other devices or local hubs without needing a giant central tower to manage everything. This project builds a smart system that uses a digital ledger to let different network owners share their gear and space securely. It's like a ride-sharing app, but for internet signals and computing power, making the connection faster and more reliable.
Current mobile networks struggle with inefficient spectrum use and high latency at the edge. There is also a lack of secure, automated ways for different network owners to share infrastructure without risking data privacy.
A secure B5G architecture featuring a Blockchain-Radio Access Network (B-RAN) and AI-driven resource management. It includes protocols for device-to-device connectivity and an experimentally verified information-theoretic framework.
If you are a network operator dealing with inefficient spectrum use — this project developed a Blockchain-Radio Access Network (B-RAN) that allows cross-network sharing and offloading to improve throughput.
If you are a security provider dealing with data breaches in wireless links — this project developed Quantum Key Distribution and trustworthy access mechanisms to ensure perpetual protection.
If you are a factory operator dealing with lag in robot communications — this project developed edge computing capabilities that provide almost-zero latency for high-speed industrial tasks.
Based on available project data, no specific pricing or cost structures are mentioned as this is a research-funded initiative.
The project aims for dynamic scalability and uses a consortium of 24 partners to ensure the architecture can handle large-scale B5G wireless networks.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not listed, but the project involves 15 industry partners who likely share in the developed IP.
The system is designed based on O-RAN standards to ensure it can be integrated into the evolving Beyond 5G ecosystem.
The project period runs from 2023-01-01 to 2025-12-31, suggesting that finalized results will be available by the end of 2025.
The project is heavily industry-driven, with 15 out of 24 partners coming from the commercial sector (62% industry ratio). This high concentration of SMEs (9) and large companies across 8 countries suggests a strong focus on commercial viability and market integration rather than purely academic research.
