Optical 6G Cell Free Networks

OPTI-6 G项目开发了一个光子近红外无蜂窝5G网络，由于电磁波在这部分频谱中的传播特性，该网络不会受到干扰，并通过遍布各处的OWC接入点在建筑物内提供通用宽带覆盖。在建筑物中应用无蜂窝近红外网络的好处是（1）可以用无蜂窝网络配置多连接，从而提高链路质量和可靠性;（2）建筑物所有者不再需要将其非公共移动的建筑物网络细分为蜂窝区域;（3）楼宇业主无须再向流动网络营办商申请许可，以使用其已获发牌的频谱，因为该系统是在光非牌照频带运作;（4）内部和外部访问之间的干扰由基于AI的分布式处理器管理;（5）可以非常准确地测量终端用户设备的位置和方向。它提供了解决这一挑战的两个主要障碍的办法：㈠在一个合作项目中汇集了一个由研究机构和工业界组成的选定的多学科小组，以制定和展示这一愿景，否则他们就不会聚集在一起实现这一目标; ㈡在OLEDCOMM和RUNEL中开发了一个概念验证演示器;（ii）进行实验，以测量UVSQ和UBRU的最终用户设备的位置和方向。起点是（1）由RUNEL开发的最先进的无细胞5G RAN解决方案和非常高精度的亚厘米精度定位测量系统;（2）由OLEDCOMM开发的最先进的VCSEL红外源和高速PIN光电二极管接收器，支持在25°发射场上高达5米的1 Gbps数据速率。该项目将这些技术结合在一起，为室内建筑提供一个易于安装和操作的免许可证宽带网络。其结果将是低成本的商业吸引力的宽带蜂窝接入建筑物内

The OPTI-6G project develops a Photonic near IR Cell Free 5G Network, which does not suffer from interference because of the propagation characteristics of EM waves in this part of the spectrum and provides universal broadband coverage within buildings from pervasively located OWC access points. The benefits of applying cell free near IR networks in buildings are (1) multi-connectivity can be configured with cell free network thereby improving link quality and reliability; (2) there is no longer the need for building owners to subdivide their non-public mobile building network into cellular areas; (3) building owners no longer need to request permission from MNOs to use their licensed spectrum since the system operates at the optical unlicensed bands; (4) interference between inside and outside access is managed by an AI Based Distributed Scheduler; (5) position and orientation of end user equipment can be measured very accurately. It provides solutions to two main barriers to develop this challenge: (i) Brings together a select multi-disciplinary team of research institutions and industries in a collaborative project to develop and demonstrate this vision, who otherwise would not have assembled to achieve this goal; (ii) Develops a proof of concept demonstrator in OLEDCOMM and RUNEL; (ii) Performs experiments to measure position and orientation of end user equipment at UVSQ and UBRU. The starting point is (1) state-of-the-art cell free 5G RAN solution and very high accuracy sub cm accuracy localisation measurement system developed by RUNEL; (2) the state of the art VCSEL infrared source and high-speed PIN photodiodes receivers and that supports 1 Gbps data rates up to 5 m over a field of emission of 25° developed by OLEDCOMM. The project brings together these technologies to produce an easy installation and operation, License Free broadband Network for indoor buildings. The outcome will be low-cost commercially attractive broadband cellular access within buildings
