Methodological Approach
An application-centric, iterative design cycle
PIONEERS-6G follows a KPI/KVI-driven methodology where requirements from four real-world IoT scenarios directly shape every design decision — validated through Proofs of Concept in a continuous refinement loop.
REFINEMENT LOOP: PoC results feed back into requirements & platform design
Omni-IoT Platform Architecture
Targeted innovations span three interconnected domains, combining intra-domain depth with cross-domain coordination.
User Equipment: UE Domain
- AI/ML-native UE operation modes
- On-UE efficient AI/ML execution
- On-UE security mechanisms & Trusted Execution Environment
Radio Access Network: RAN Domain
- AI/ML-driven multi-connectivity between Terrestrial & Non-Terrestrial Networks (TN-NTN)
- AI/ML-based multi-technology Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) and high-precision Positioning
Core Network:CN Domain
- AI/ML-driven, multi-domain CN and service orchestration
- Novel CN functions for globally secure interoperability
