TrialsNet: Trials supported by Smart Networks beyond 5G

TrialsNet将部署全面的大规模试验，以实施基于各种技术（如cobots，metaverse，massive twinning，Internet of Senses）的异构和全面的创新6 G应用，并覆盖欧洲城市生态系统的三个相关领域：i）基础设施，交通，安全与安全，ii）电子健康与紧急情况，iii）文化，旅游与娱乐。将在广泛覆盖的地区开发13个代表性用例，涉及意大利、西班牙、希腊和罗马尼亚4个地理集群的大量真实的用户。用例将是横向的，每个用例都可能在不同的集群上实现，从而允许对网络KPI进行整体评估。TrialsNet的目标是提高不同领域城市环境的“宜居性”，它还将追求以下目标：i）了解当前网络不足以确保用例所需性能的地方，以及ii）得出下一代移动的网络的新要求。为了实现这一目标，TrialsNet将设计和部署具有先进功能的平台和网络解决方案，这些功能基于动态切片管理、E2 E编排、NFV、MEC和AI/ML方法，并将在3GPP和O-RAN网络架构上进行试验。所部署系统的可持续性和可负担性的设计目标也将得到最高优先考虑。最后，TrialsNet还将制定适当的技术评估框架，映射定量和定性措施，并将社会接受的用例动态可视化。适当的KVI将被监测、证明和完善，以提供社会技术愿景，早日采用6 G解决方案。

TrialsNet will deploy full large-scale trials to implement a heterogenous and comprehensive set of innovative 6G applications based on various technologies such as cobots, metaverse, massive twinning, Internet of Senses, and covering three relevant domains of the urban ecosystems in Europe identified by i) Infrastructure, Transportation, Security & Safety, ii) eHealth & Emergency, and iii) Culture, Tourism & Entertainment. There will be 13 representative use cases developed over wide coverage areas with the involvement of extended sets of real users in 4 geographical clusters, in Italy, Spain, Greece and Romania. The use cases will be transversal, each single use case will be potentially implementable over different clusters, thus allowing for a holistic evaluation of the network KPIs. Targeting to improve the “liveability” of the urban environment in the different domains, TrialsNet will also pursue the objective to i) understand where current networks are not sufficient to assure the performance needed by the use cases, and to ii) derive the new requirements for next generation mobile networks. To achieve this, TrialsNet will design and deploy platforms and network solutions with advanced functionalities based on dynamic slicing management, E2E orchestration, NFV, MEC and AI/ML methods to be trialled on 3GPP and O-RAN network architectures. Design objectives of sustainability and affordability of the deployed systems will be also treated with the highest priority. Finally, TrialsNet will also develop appropriate technical assessment frameworks mapping quantitative and qualitative measures and visualizing the dynamics of the use cases for society acceptance. Proper KVIs will be monitored, proved and refined to provide a socio-technical vision towards early adoption of 6G solutions.
