In order to evaluate the merits of the technologies developed in CENTRIC for future 6G networks, it is of crucial importance to define a set of measures that can help quantify their performance under different conditions. In addition to performance characterization, 6G aims to provide other indirect benefits to society at large, e.g., in the context of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Such societal benefits should also be assessed.
In this deliverable, we address the identification of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Key Value Indicators (KVIs) that will be used to assess both types of impacts –performance impact and societal impact, respectively—generated by the techniques proposed in CENTRIC. We first review the state-of-art on KPI and KVI definitions in relevant bodies and projects, then identify and define those that are relevant for CENTRIC activities and, to finalize, we link each of the technologies developed in the project to the KPIs and KVIs that are specifically relevant for them. The resulting set of KPIs and KVIs will be revised in deliverable D5.3, where in addition assessment methodologies for them will be proposed.
