NANCY

A secure and intelligent architecture for the beyond the fifth generation (B5G) wireless network

Abstract

The Horizon Europe NANCY Project co-funded by the European Union and the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU), aims to enable secure and intelligent resource management, flexible networking, and orchestration, designing novel architectures that will revolutionize how next-generation networks are implemented.

NANCY aims to introduce a secure and intelligent architecture for beyond the fifth generation (B5G) wireless networks. By leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain, NANCY aims to enable secure and intelligent resource management, flexible networking, and orchestration. In this direction, novel mechanisms and techniques will be integrated, including:

  • device-to-device connectivity
  • mesh networking
  • relay-based communications
  • medium access protocols
  • mobility management schemes
  • resource allocation methods
