5G-DRIVE 5G DRIVEn Resource Efficient Mobile Aggregation Networks

Coordinator: RIGAS TEHNISKA UNIVERSITATE (LV)

The fifth generation (5G) cellular networks set ambitious goals that require technological advances in both wireless and transport network infrastructures, especially regarding cost and carbon footprint. In this context, a promising architecture for 5G aggregation networks is the recently proposed Claud-Radio Access Network (C-RAN). However, it will face the serious challenges related to (1) efficient use of network resources, (2) low-latency requirements, and (3) scalability. Seems that optical aggregation networks based on wavelength division multiplexing are the outstanding candidates to m…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

The project runs over approximately 2 years from 2018-11-01 to 2020-10-31.
