Last plenary meeting of the 6G-CHRONOS project

After nearly three years of collaboration, we held the final plenary meeting of the 6G-CHRONOS project with our colleagues from Telefonica, Safran, and Neutroon. During the meeting, we presented the key achievements, including a prototype of a TSN network integrated with a 5G system, which successfully meets the QoS requirements for Industry 4.0 applications. Additionally, the prototype features network exposure capabilities, enabling third parties (e.g., industry stakeholders) to configure their private networks using high-level policies. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all parties involved in the project for making it a success!

Our colleague Pablo Ameigeiras has become a full professor!

After an intense and meritorious career, our colleague Pablo Ameigeiras yesterday (July 16, 2024) became a full professor in the area of Telematics Engineering, Department of Signal Theory, Telematics, and Communications at the University of Granada. Congratulations!!!

Follow-up meeting of the TelecoRenta project

Our colleagues Juan Jose Ramos and Pablo Munoz have participated in the follow-up meeting of the TelecoRenta project, aimed at promoting the telecommunications studies. Together with the colleagues from UPV/EHU, we are responsible for realizing and coordinating different activities to promote female vocations and improving the percentages of women who study telecommunications, where the gender gap is very high. The meeting took place in the Menendez Pelayo International University (UIMP), Cuenca (July 2024).

Our predoctoral students, Julia Caleya, Felix Delgado and Pablo Rodriguez have participated in the Summer School on advanced topics in 5G/6G Communication that was held in the Menendez Pelayo International University (UIMP), Cuenca. The main objective of this summer school is to offer Master's Degree students the possibility of learning the latest advances in 5G/6G communications from prestigious professionals who are experts in these topics from both the industry and the academic field.

The 6G-LoRaGRAN platform is up and running!

The 6G-LoRaGRAN platform, developed within the 6G-LoRaGRAN project (part of the 6G-SANDBOX European project) is up and running! This platform will enable external researchers to perform experiments with a real LoRaWAN testbed integrated with the 5G cores from the 6G-SANDBOX pilot sites. You can check the platform here or contact the 6G-LoRaGRAN administrator.

Our past TRUE-5G project has been evaluated as very satisfactory!

Infrastructure and testbeds

    We have developed demonstrators and proof-of-concepts (PoC) for many of our research works, especially for mobile networks (4G/5G/6G), multi-connectivity (5G and Wi-Fi 6) and LoRaWAN.
    As an example, the picture below shows one of our demonstrators for multi-connectivity. This testbed, which includes a 5G system and a Wi-Fi 6 network, allows us to make experiments with a CPE simultaneously connected to both technologies, achieving end-user throughput around 2 Gbps.
