NANCY

NANCY Demonstrator 3 aims to deliver high-performance services with low latency and several 5G/6G network capabilities as described in the literature. In his respect, this demonstrator has two specific objectives linked directly to the concept of B5G /6G.

To validate and demonstrate the proposed B5G/6G technologies and algorithms that NANCY partners will develop. In this respect, technologies such as task offloading and policies related to smart pricing will be integrated into the NANCY architecture and evaluated for their maturity. Moreover, the demonstrator will utilise the overall NANCY architecture and several of the NFs and policies developed in WP3-WP5, with a focus on orchestration, computational and storage offloading, social-aware caching, as well as security and privacy in order to demonstrate their effectiveness in supporting latency-critical broadband applications.

For this purpose, 5G AR/VR applications will be considered, exploiting the capabilities of the B5G integrated NANCY ecosystem, consisting of NANCY partners’ algorithms and technologies. These applications will be developed by NANCY partners and are expected to have a direct pact on several vertical industries indicating surveillance and /or physical security service.

In the context of this use case, 5G AR/VR services will be considered, exploiting the capabilities of the NANCY architecture aiming to deliver high-performance services along with a number of 5G network capabilities. For this reason, a multi-domain deployment consisting of distinct Edge and Cloud compute domains providing:

• Advanced Security at Edge Cloud deployment, also enhanced by Blockchain algorithms;
• High availability and resilience through mesh architectures;
• High capacity and low latency.

The orchestration layer will be capable of collecting and processing the topology, capabilities and characteristics of the multiple compute domains to higher Network Operation / Digital Service provisioning layers. Specific QoS characteristics for the consideration of the proposed applications will be considered.
