Consortium

The EU 6G-MIRAI consortium combines telecom equipment, device and chipset vendors, network operators, and system integrators on one side and leading academic institutions and universities in Europe on the other side. Furthermore, 6G-MIRAI collaborates with the Japanese HARMONY consortium to form a cross EU-Japan initiative, securing the needed know-how and experience input as well as maximizing the expected economic and technological impact. The framework for the economic and technological impact is a global single standard for 6G, enabling interoperability and compatibility, ease of use, and economies of scale.

Consortium: Ericsson France (Project Manager), Fraunhofer HHI (Technical Manager),
Apple (Communication Manager), Telefonica, Sequans, IS-Wireless, CNIT, University of Pisa, KULeuven;
Ericsson Japan

6G-MIRAI is an accepted project of Call 3 of HORIZON-JU-SNS-2024, STREAM-B-01-05:
International Collaboration – EU-JP: AI/ML in RAN evolution (dMIMO, RIS) towards AI-native, integrated AI-enabled RAN/Core Architecture.

Objectives

6G-MIRAI-HARMONY aims at developing reliable and robust AI-native wireless communication systems that enable the practical exploitation of the full potential of the latest physical layer technological advances, especially cell-free massive MIMO, and of next-generation virtualized and potentially disaggregated radio access networks. 6G-MIRAI-HARMONY has four objectives which jointly aim at achieving key 6G RAN KPIs.

6G-MIRAI-HARMONY key objectives
O1: Reliable and robust AI/ML techniques for future wireless communications,
O2: Practical AI-native design of next-generation radio access networks,
O3: Common platform for data, benchmarking, and validation,
O4: Aligned strategy on future standardization efforts.
