Talk about DESIRE6G Architecthure given by Technical Coordinator during Workshop 5 at EuCNC2024

This workshop focuses on EU collaborative research and innovation focal points toward 6G Smart Networks and Services (SNS) and provides a good overview of the SNS public and private Joint Undertaking (JU) initiative. The main SNS JU missions, i.e., to foster Europe’s technological sovereignty in 6G through world class research and innovation (R&I) as well as to coordinate strategic guidance of programmes to enable boosting 5G deployment in Europe, are reflected upon while describing how the SNS JU is more than its separate projects.
The SNS JU is about enabling collaborative research and creating a positive inter-working environment where vision, approaches and outcomes are discussed resulting in broadly accepted insights. Instrumental SNS JU entities are in place to enable and encourage such work environment. The Steering Board (SB) and Technology Board (TB) act as the main governance bodies for coordination of activities between projects and drive project alignment on roadmap and technological levels. The SNS JU Project Working Groups (SNS JU WGs) are coordinating bodies of activities relating to specific technical scopes of interest. Currently, there is SNS JU WGs on Architecture, on TMV (Test, Measurement and KPI Validation), on Software Networks, and on Hardware.
In this workshop, the approach towards EU collaborative R&I work will be presented from the SNS JU office, while the overview of the SNS projects’ vision, roadmap, technological enablers, and domain coverage also will be discussed from the SB and TB perspective. Moreover, a deep dive into the technical challenges and scope of the SNS JU Project WGs will be performed by SNS experts, resulting in a panel discussion on the current technical focus of the SNS JU and its way forward.
