Abstract

The 6G-EWOC project seeks to create an AI-enhanced fiber-wireless optical 6G network to support advanced use cases for Fully Autonomous Vehicles (FAVs) by establishing a new access network incorporating the integration of both fixed/wireless optical and wireless/RF technologies. The access network will be supported by a fast, reconfigurable, highly dynamic and customizable optical fiber-based fronthaul infrastructure which will minimize optoelectronic transitions through tunable and programmable devices, as well as low energy photonic switching of (packet/optical) spectrum and spatial resources, managed by AI-enabled SDN. End-to-end connectivity between AI-based edge computation units will enable advanced Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM) services over a rapid, adaptable network architecture.
