A coordinated vision
The project is organised around three complementary B6G domains and two cross-cutting lines that connect both teams.
Large-scale non-cellular IoT connectivity
Link-layer protocols and routing strategies for massive, reliable and sustainable networks.
Dynamic LEO networks
Routing and transport adapted to constellations with continuously changing topology.
3D networks and distributed computing
Joint optimisation of access, backhaul, virtual resources and task distribution.
Cross-cutting cybersecurity
Secure and cooperative management for distributed and challenging networking environments.
Cross-cutting artificial intelligence
Adaptive network configuration and intelligent execution of distributed services.
Two subprojects, one shared agenda
Each subproject maintains its publications, team and resources within a coordinated research strategy.
Subproject 1 · UPCT
BoND1: B6G Non-Cellular Technologies for Enhanced IoT Connectivity
Led by UPCT, it addresses non-cellular IoT, LoRa/LoRaWAN, LEO constellations, simulation, security and sustainability.
Subproject 2 · UVigo
BoND2: B6G Non-Cellular Technologies for Extremely Dynamic 3D networks
Led by the Universidade de Vigo, it studies highly mobile 3D aerial networks, adaptive connectivity and distributed computing.
