SNS Working Groups

The SNS JU Working Groups (WGs) facilitate cross-project collaboration among representatives of ongoing SNS JU projects, aiming to create synergies and consolidate efforts. These groups regularly publish their findings in white papers and other forums. Projects can join an SNS JU WG by contacting the respective WG Chairperson. The WGs include the 6G Architecture WG, Reliable Software Network WG, Test, Measurement, and KPIs Validation WG, and Hardware Technologies WG. They serve as platforms for exchanging ideas, addressing technological challenges, and shaping a unified European perspective on 6G development.

Each WG focuses on specific domains. The Architecture WG consolidates architectural concepts for 6G, promoting discussions and dissemination of results. The Reliable Software Network WG addresses software networking trends, cloud-native designs, and AI/ML integration. The Test, Measurement, and Validation WG standardizes methodologies for KPI/KVI testing and lifecycle management, supporting 6G trials. Lastly, the Hardware Technologies WG explores advanced components, materials, and chipsets critical for 6G adoption, fostering collaboration across SNS and global initiatives to build a robust 6G hardware roadmap.

White Paper “EUROPEAN VISION FOR THE 6G NETWORK ECOSYSTEM” 

This white paper explores global efforts to develop and standardize 6G networks, targeting a commercial launch by 2030. It emphasizes the importance of a unified global vision, with Europe playing a key role through the 6G Smart Networks and Services Industry Association (6G-IA) and initiatives like the Hexa-X-II project. Technological advancements such as integrated sensing and communications (ISAC), native AI support, and enhanced cybersecurity are highlighted, alongside a strong focus on sustainability. This includes making 6G systems eco-friendly and leveraging them to enhance sustainability across industries like healthcare, media, and transportation. The paper also underscores socio-economic considerations, calling for sustainability metrics in R&D to align technical and societal goals. Six key use case families—immersive experiences, collaborative robots, digital twins, trusted environments, physical awareness, and a fully connected world—are presented, each with tailored KPIs such as latency, reliability, and data rates.

The document details innovations in 6G architecture, addressing limitations in 5G and introducing concepts like deterministic networking, AI-driven communications, and seamless terrestrial-non-terrestrial integration. It discusses non-technical factors essential for 6G realization, such as standardization, regulation, spectrum allocation, and sustainable business strategies, aligning with frameworks like IMT-2030. Europe’s strong position in industrial applications is noted, along with challenges posed by global competitors. Sustainability remains a guiding principle, with the vision integrating environmental, social, and economic aspects to ensure 6G benefits are equitably realized. This updated version builds on prior insights, offering a more mature perspective on 6G’s transformative potential for society and industry.
