Funded by the European Union NextGeneration Funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation

    This national project (TSI-063000-2021-28) is titled "AI-assisted beyond 5G-6G arCHitectuRe with deterministic netwOrking for iNdustrial communicatiOnS (6G-CHRONOS)". It started in January 2022 and its duration is 3 years.

Description

    The fourth industrial revolution will apply digital transformation to industrial production via enterprise-wide networks to capture data from and to exchange data between machines, devices and people. By using the Internet of Things (IoT) and cyber physical systems, conventional production will be transformed into a network of smart and interconnected devices.
    Fifth-generation wireless communications (5G) and time sensitive networking (TSN) technologies can play a key role in future industrial communications. TSN and 5G are wired and wireless technologies with strong potential for the large real-time network needed for Industry 4.0 applications. However, to achieve this vision two main challenges lie ahead. First, the 5G network should provide deterministic, reliable, high-bandwidth, low-latency communication. Second, a smooth integration between TSN and 5G is required.
    For this purpose, the 6G-CHRONOS project will design a B5G/6G network service framework that will incorporate the paradigm of Deterministic Networking as a design principle on the 5G network slicing concept to enable the low and deterministic latency required for scenarios of connected robotics and autonomous systems in Industry 4.0. Additionally, the 6G-CHRONOS project will design state-of-the art solutions to carry out the interoperation of the B5G/6G network service framework and TSN. Moreover, the 6G-CHRONOS project will implement an experimental testbed as a proof-of-concept, which will deploy a 5G network and a synchronous Time Sensitive Network in order to evaluate the performance of some relevant solutions proposed in the project.
    The results of the 6G-CHRONOS project are expected to contribute to the applicability of 5G and 6G networks to the industrial domain by providing solutions that enable industry-grade QoS with very low and deterministic end-to-end latencies (<1 ms), high data rates, and seamless integration of 5G with TSN networks for industrial applications.
    This project started on 2022 and its duration is 3 years.

    Fifth-generation mobile networks (5G) are designed to support enhanced Mobile Broadband, Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications, and massive Machine-Type Communications. To meet these diverse needs, 5G uses technologies like network softwarization, network slicing, and artificial intelligence. Multi-connectivity is crucial for boosting mobile device performance by using different Wireless Access Technologies (WATs) simultaneously, enhancing throughput, reducing latency, and improving reliability. This paper presents a multi-connectivity testbed from the 5G-CLARITY project for performance evaluation. MultiPath TCP (MPTCP) was employed to enable mobile devices to send data through various WATs simultaneously. A new MPTCP scheduler was developed, allowing operators to better control traffic distribution across different technologies and maximize aggregated throughput. Our proposal mitigates the impact of limitations on one path affecting others, avoiding the Head-of-Line blocking problem. Performance was tested with real equipment using 5GNR, Wi-Fi, and LiFi —complementary WATs in the 5G-CLARITY project—in both static and dynamic scenarios. The results demonstrate that the proposed scheduler can manage the traffic distribution across different WATs and achieve the combined capacities of these technologies, approximately 1.4 Gbps in our tests, outperforming the other MPTCP schedulers. Recovery times after interruptions, such as coverage loss in one technology, were also measured, with values ranging from 400 to 500 ms.

    This article proposes a system based on a long-distance communications system with low economic and energy costs that allows connectivity to be carried out independently from the existing cellular coverage in the area. In addition, it describes the design, development, implementation and analysis of an Internet of Things (IoT) architecture based on Long-Range Wide-Area Network (LoRaWAN). Moreover, the system has been deployed as a prototype, and the behavior and scope of the system have been analyzed in various real environments: urban, rural and natural. The results obtained from the analysis show that the system is suitable for working in areas without coverage such as mountains.

    In this work, an architecture for IoT networks oriented towards environmental sustainability is presented. Due to the suitability of its characteristics in terms of coverage, power and support of a large number of devices, an enhanced LoRaWAN network has been chosen as the basis for this proposal. The architecture is completed with the virtualization of the different LoRaWAN network entities and the usage of a software-defined network for their interconnection. The publication and subscription to environmental data is carried out by using the MQTT protocol. MQTT has been optimized thanks to the use of the SDN network and the use of edge computing resources, which allows multicasting of published data. Thanks to our developed MQTT2MULTICAST protocol, latency is improved by approx. 90% and the traffic load within the SDN network is reduced by 55%. An scalability analysis shows that this solution is able to support tens of thousands of LoRaWAN gateways. The proposed architecture has been implemented using commercial equipment as a proof of concept.
