Advancing-5G-Immersive aims to create a cutting-edge immersive laboratory which will serve as one of the main Spanish testbeds for stakeholders and companies willing to validate their emerging 6G applications. The project is formed by three innovative types of communications: Haptic/Tactile, Holographic, and Telepresence. For each one of them, a subproject has been assigned, since the requirements, capabilities, technology enablers and use cases are different These credible research proposals are completely aligned to the strategic research agenda of Smart Network and Services (SNS)The reliability of the research proposal can be ensured thanks to the following facts. The management team, led by Prof. David Gomez-Barquero, has successfully coordinated three 5G-PPP projects (four H2020 projects). The projects have a strong industrial participation of large, medium and small companies with proven experience in 5G-PPP/H2020 and other excellence projects, and with previous and on-going collaborations with Prof. Gomez-Barquero. The three subprojects will foster the creation of a highly-competitive beyond 5G ecosystem in Spain, which will strength the position and participation of Spain in the upcoming SNS work program in Horizon Europe, and therefore increase the reimbursement funding of Spain in this program.

This project will be carried out through the three subprojects: Advancing-5G-Immersive-Holographic (ADV5G-IMM-HOLOGR), Advancing-5G-Immersive-Telepresence (ADV5G-IMM-TELEP), Advancing-5G-Immersive-Haptic (ADV5G-IMM-HAPTICS). The overall objective of Advancing-5G-Immersive project is twofold. On one side, the project aims to create a flagship 6G application laboratory for three emerging type of communications that impose new requirements on the telecommunication network infrastructure that cannot be met with existing 5G networks: Emerging human-centric immersive applications (i.e. holographic, telepresence and haptics communications), that are expected to revolutionize the work and everyday life of citizens. The three subprojects will pioneer the design and development of advanced 6G applications in Spain, increasing the Spanish competitiveness and sovereignty in future 6G “killer apps”. The laboratory will be also fundamental to define the Key Performance Indicators (KPI) and requirements for 5G-Advanced and 6G. On the other side, the three Advancing-5G-Immersive subprojects will research new promising technologies to optimize the delivery and implementation of the considered 6G applications, including: The combination of enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) with the low-latency features of Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC), 5G-Advanced broadcast with Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), and softwarized core and radio components for holographic, telepresence and haptic communications. Call for applications for grants PROGRAMME FOR UNIVERSALIZATION OF DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURES FOR UNICO-5G COHESION R&D 2021 published in BOE, on November 24, 2021 belonging to the Plan/Programme Plan for Recovery, Transformation and Resilience of the Government of Spain. From 29/11/2021 to 31/12/2024.     The overall objective of the project is to create a flagship 6G application laboratory for real-time digital twins for industrial environments, which impose new requirements on the telecommunication network infrastructure in these vertical industries, and to progress beyond the current state of the art on new promising technological trends to enable the implementation of real-time digital twins, such as 5G-Advanced Internet-of-Things (IoT), edge and cloud computing, and real-time AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning) analytics.  This project is divided in three subprojects: Advancing-5G-Digital Twins. 5G-IoT platform with edge and cloud computing (ADV5G-TWINS-CLOUD), Advancing-5G-Digital Twins for Industry 4.0 (ADV5G-TWINS-INDUSTRY), Advancing-5G-Digital Twins for Industry 4.0 (ADV5G-TWINS-INDUSTRY).
