6GEM - 6G Research Hub for Open, Efficient and Secure Mobile Radio Systems

6GEM is a BMBF joint project, which we are conducting together with partners from RWTH Aachen University, Ruhr University Bochum, University Duisburg-Essen, Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg, Ilmenau University of Technology, Fraunhofer Institute for High Frequency Physics and Radar Techniques, Fraunhofer Institute for Microelectronic Circuits and Systems, Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics and Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy. The goal of this project is to drive interdisciplinary research on communication technologies in 6G mobile communications, as well as their implementation in the test fields.

6G networks must enable control of various aspects of mobile communications, such as dynamically directing beams to a specific area
of interest. They must also support smart cities, which are characterized by highly variable environments with multiple mobile actors, including
Pedestrians, autonomous cars, and smart homes. Real-world multi-X systems, such as multi-radio access technologies and multi-frequency bands, require reliable and secure communication between highly dynamic and mobile agents. Our research focuses on security
to ensure connectivity to all end users, reliability to guarantee Quality of Service (QoS), and efficiency through reduced resource
consumption. To meet these requirements and enable dynamic control between multi-X scenarios, our research focuses on both the application of (secure) reinforcement learning (RL) for dynamic control of beam management, and the application of machine learning (ML) techniques to perform spatial imputation.
