Architectural innovation

Christos Verikoukis of the Industrial Systems Institute, and coordinator of the 6G-BRICKS project, elaborates on the technical solutions:

“The architecture of 6G-BRICKS introduces a pioneering design centered around Intent Driven Autonomous Networks (IDAN), disaggregated management planes, and groundbreaking 6G technologies like Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) and Cell-Free networking. This architecture promises an agile, evolvable platform supporting a wide range of applications, from digital twinning to ultra-reliable low-latency communications. Moreover, our architecture underscores our commitment to innovation and excellence, incorporating advanced technologies such as blockchain for secure transactions, AI for dynamic content generation, and cloud computing for scalability.”

Highlights of provided architecture include:

– Scalable infrastructure: engineered to accommodate millions of concurrent users.

– Security and privacy: implementing cutting-edge measures to safeguard user data and transactions within the Metaverse.

– Interoperability: enabling seamless integration with existing digital platforms and services, fostering a unified digital ecosystem.

With the launch of this project, the consortium is not merely envisioning the future of digital interaction – they’re actively shaping it. As they embark on this thrilling journey, they invite partners, creators, and users alike to join them in exploring the boundless possibilities of the Metaverse. Together, they will forge new worlds, nurture communities, and redefine connectivity in the digital era.

The 6G-BRICKS project has received funding from the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) under the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under Grand Agreement No 101096954.
