6G-SANDBOX

The main result of the project is the successful integration of Qosium into the 6G-SANDBOX experimentation platform as a new TN Component. Qosium extends the range of measurement capabilities available for experimenters, bringing unique aspects to measure the QoS passively for real applications in real-time without synthetic test traffic. A study for different means regarding results federation and multi-site measurements for a comparative performance analysis of measurements carried out over different platforms was also carried out. The study result introduces multiple different alternatives to integrate results federation into the 6G-SANDBOX architecture. A part of the project outcome was demonstrated at the 2025 EuCNC & 6G Summit, being the final, public showcase of OVQOS. The demonstration was carried out in close cooperation with the University of Oulu and two other Open Call projects, 6G-VIZ and OAIBOX+RIS.

Real-time monitoring of network quality for applications is a game-changer in critical network infrastructures and R&D, enabling immediate identification and resolution of performance bottlenecks, service disruptions, and resource allocation issues. This not only leads to an improved user experience and minimized downtimes in operative networks but also provides researchers with valuable data and information for technology validation.

The experiment provides the scientific community and industry with additional capabilities on utilizing passive QoS measurement results.
