Workshop on 6G device ecosystem
Moderated by Rob van Kranenburg
The fee pays for the nice room.
By 2030, 6G will be in all our mobile devices. The successor to 5G, embedded in everything. The architecture decisions being made right now will shape how we live, think, and govern ourselves for decades. Almost nobody outside the telecom industry is paying attention.
Project Kenner is an initiative to change that. We want to bend the linear trajectory of the mobile phone ecosystem toward something more humane, within planetary boundaries.
The project
brings together in a balance of social, psychological and technical expertise,
is rethinking data gathering, storage and analysis for intelligent decision making for the short and long term both for the individual as well as for society at large and
brings in the latest terminology that is conceived in a hybrid situation, not translated from analogue settings.
We are working on a White paper (WP) that is structured like a project. The White paper is 20 pages. Each WP will describe briefly what the main challenges are, what is needed to make the best recommendations for the WP in relation to the overall goal (WP1-3) and what funding is needed to set up workshops, find a business owner or require expertise that is not yet on board.
WP1: Terminology, method and entities, dataspaces and system components. To streamline a coherent approach.
WP2: Components of the 6G device. Open RAN's software-based architecture. Modem, OS, Applications. Native AI, 3GPP common API framework (CAPIF), Data framework (data minimization), Integration of Sensing and Communication (ISAC) with Open Ran. Energy efficiency
WP3: The digital wallet as the core of the device. Identity and Security. Data Extraction Levels (DEL), standards like IEEE P7012 (MyTerms)
WP4: Application area: Body Area Network: (mental) health
WP5: Application area: Local Area Network (smart home)
WP6: Application area: Wide Area Network (car, train…mobility)
WP7: Application area: Very Wide Area Network ( smart city)
WP8: Governance layer: Steward owned/Foundation
WP9: Funding & Communication
