Intelligence and Automation for the Operation of Distributed Edge Systems on 5G Advanced Infrastructures

5G-Advanced will improve network performance and will bring support for new use cases, offering unique capabilities for the deployment of distributed edge environments that guarantee mobility and optimum service levels to execute critical applications which demand very low latency. ONEedge5G is an industrial research project whose aim is to research on Artificial Intelligence techniques and Zero-Touch resource management methods for the efficient deployment and operation of distributed edge environments.

The end goal is to make it easier for new industrial actors in Spain to take advantage of the new 5G-Advanced infrastructure, implementing energy-optimization criteria and low latency for the deployment at scale of advanced data processing applications.

Open Source Innovation

The results of this research will be validated and incorporated in an initial prototype software that will be distributed under an open source license for its rapid adoption in this emerging market. This new module will constitute a significantly improved OpenNebula product, providing advanced capabilities for 5G edge environments and offering innovation with a great disruptive potential that is aligned with various current strategic priorities of the EU:

Satisfying the demand for open European technologies for 5G Telco Cloud

Integrating the functionality of 5G-Advanced to improve the edge

Making use of open solutions to manage the deployment of private 5G

Expanding the cloud-edge continuum through new 5G-Advanced infrastructures

Facilitating the distributed management of the cloud-edge continuum for businesses and users

Creating an ecosystem of research and innovation in advanced 5G for next generation cloud-edge
