EU Celtic-Next project, Robust and AI Native 6G for Green Networks. KTH serves as the technical coordinator of the project. Tele2 is the managing coordinator.
The roll-out of 5G is ramping up in many countries. Although 5G technology is more energy-efficient than legacy networks, increased data volumes lead to higher energy consumption. This rise in industrial and sensitive applications increases resilience requirements, posing a trade-off between resiliency and energy efficiency. Legacy cellular network architecture lacks elasticity, hindering network optimization.
Recent advances in virtualization and cloudification enable cloud-based cell-less networks, allowing dynamic resource reconfiguration. Resilient and energy-efficient networks are possible with adaptive network technologies controlled by a cloud and AI native architecture. The rise of renewable energy resources offers opportunities for energy-efficient data processing.
