DEDICAT6G - Dynamic coverage Extension and Distributed Intelligence for human Centric Applications with assured security, privacy, and Trust: from 5G to 6G
DEDICAT 6G aims to develop a smart connectivity platform using artificial intelligence and blockchain techniques that will enable 6G networks to combine the existing communication infrastructure with novel distribution of intelligence at the edge to allow not only flexible, but also energy efficient realisation of the envisaged real-time experience. DEDICAT 6G focuses on four use cases: Smart warehousing, Enhanced experiences, Public Safety and Smart Highway. The use cases pilot the developed solutions via simulations and demonstrations in laboratory environments, and larger field evaluations exploiting various assets and testing facilities. DEDICAT 6G project consists of a total of 8 work packages (WP1 to WP8) and TU-Chemnitz is contributing to 6 work packages (WP1, WP2, WP3, WP4, WP6, WP7). And we are also involved in implementing two (Public Safety and Smart Highway) of the four use cases. The vision of DEDICAT 6G is to transform Beyond 5G networks into a smart connectivity platform that is highly adaptive, ultra-fast, and dependable/resilient for supporting securely innovative, human-centric applications.
