Project consortium
Project Summary:
The 6G-SHINE project will pioneer the main technology components for in-X wireless subnetworks, short range, low-power radio cells to be installed in a wide set of vertical and consumer entities like robots, vehicles, production modules, and classrooms for the sake of supporting extreme communication requirements in terms of latency, reliability, or data rates. 6G-SHINE will leverage the opportunities offered by the peculiar deployment characteristics of such short-range subnetworks for a highly performant yet cost-efficient radio design that allows to bring wireless connectivity to a level of pervasiveness that which has never been experienced earlier.

Second joint 6G-SHINE/SUPERIOT/TERRAMETA webinar on 6G Sustainable Wireless Design
On March 14, the 6G-SHINE Project once again teamed up with the SUPERIO and TERRAMETA projects for the second webinar on 6G sustainable wireless design. Hosted by Prof. Marcos Katz (University of Oulu), the event featured insightful presentations from three experts in the field. Representing 6G-SHINE, Hamid Reza Hashempour (Aalborg University) presented on power-efficient cooperative communication within IIoT subnetworks, highlighting the role of relay and RIS technologies in optimizing energy consumption while ensuring reliable and efficient wireless connectivity.
Joint 6G-SHINE/SUPERIOT/TERRAMETA webinar on Sustainable Wireless Design
On November 29, we have held a webinar on Sustainable Wireless Design, organized together with SUPERIOT and TERRAMETA projects. The speakers were Luis Pessoa (INESC), Meng Li (6G-SHINE) and Yasser Qaragoez (KU Leuven). Presentations focused on advanced technologies such as reconfigurable intelligent surfaces and transceivers operating over sub-THz bands, and their sustainable design. A novel modulation enabling energy harvesting for low power sensors was also presented.
Presentation on 6G architecture enablers at the Hexa-X-II workshop on Architecture and Standards
On October 17, Baldomero Coll-Perales, University Miguel Hernandez de Elche, presented the 6G-SHINE vision for architecture enablers for 6G subnetworks at the Hexa-X-II workshop on Architecture and Standards.
4th 6G-SHINE consortium meeting at Aalborg University, Copenhagen campus
The fourth 6G-SHINE face-to-face plenary meeting took place on September 9-11 at Aalborg University, Copenhagen campus! This consortium meeting provided an excellent opportunity to steer the research directions for the project's final year and engage in deep, productive discussions. We’re excited for the productive months ahead and ready to shine!
6G-SHINE at EuCNC & 6G Summit 2024
6G-SHINE actively participated in EuCNC 2024, hosting a successful workshop on 6G radio design with the SNS Hexa-X-II and CENTRIC projects. Ramoni Adeogun gave a presentation on AI-based radio resource management for subnetworks and Gilberto Berardinelli introduced the 6G-SHINE vision at the Hexa-X-II workshop. Our booth featured demonstrations, including a low-latency channel emulator by Lassi Hentilä from Keysight Technologies. The conference highlighted our research on power-efficient communication and AI-based sub-band allocation. Additionally, 6G-SHINE was recognized at the 3GPP SA1 workshop for its contributions to 6G use cases. The event was a valuable platform for advancing 6G technologies.
6G-SHINE featured at Hannover Messe 2024: Industry Experts Debate Transition from 5G to 6G
