The collaborative project "Open6GHub" focuses on various thematically specific missions that address concrete challenges in building future 6G networks. In close collaboration with relevant stakeholders, practical solutions for building 6G infrastructure are being developed. In addition to researching 6G functionalities in radio access networks and private campus networks, a key focus is on developing a novel 6G smart radio modem and investigating electromagnetic exposure. In particular, application-specific scenarios for the resilience of critical infrastructure are being explored, and the realization of complete network coverage using reliable 3D networks is being pursued. The results will be demonstrated in open test labs. In addition to researching 6G functionalities in radio access networks and private campus networks, a focus is placed on the development of a novel 6G smart radio modem and the investigation of electromagnetic exposure. The German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) will focus on the integration of machine learning and artificial intelligence in various areas of 6G. AI will be used in network IT operations, the so-called AI Ops, but also to improve 6G interaction for non-experts using language models and generative AI, as seen in ChatGPT. At the application level of 6G, the DFKI will particularly investigate the AI-supported generation of digital twins of 6G networks, as well as network-hosted twins of entire facilities. At the network function level, intelligent positioning algorithms will be used, which, within the framework of the Integrated Communication and Sensing (ICAS) model, represent a significant innovation in 6G, offering considerable added value for industry, automated driving, and more.
