The focus extends beyond networking and spans the whole value chain from components and devices the General Co-Chairs to the Cloud, AI and Cybersecurity. In the same way, it extends beyond technology into applications and user experience, aiming at economic and societal impact.

In order to achieve this priority, the Commission adopted It is a great pleasure to welcome you to this joint edition a two-pronged approach: launching a 6G flagship whilst of the 30th European Conference on Networks and promoting 5G deployment, towards the goal of 5G Communications (EuCNC2021) and of the 3rd 6G Summit. everywhere. This will be done through a strategic European We are extremely happy to join forces with the 6G Summit partnership on Smart Networks and Services (SNS) supported held in Finland in 2019 and 2020 to boost the 6G dimension by 900 million € from the Horizon Europe programme and of European Research and Innovation. Due to COVID-19 leveraging a similar investment from the private side. SNS pandemic restrictions, this conference, initially planned to will build upon the 700 million € of 5G PPP in Horizon 2020, be held in Porto, Portugal, will now be run totally virtually. including over 60 million € on beyond 5G, in eight projects addressing specific technologies and a 6G flagship project. This edition represents a landmark in the history of the conference. When its predecessor, the “Mobile Summit” Besides implementing 6G research, the SNS partnership conference, was launched 30 years ago, the first European is planned to coordinate over 1 billion € of deployment Pearse O’Donohue GSM network was not even deployed and most optimistic actions under the CEF2-Digital programme, in Director for Future Networks, market studies predicted about 40 million users in Europe. particular on the cross-border 5G Corridors.

WS1: 6G for Connecting the Technical, human, societal and business challenges have to be addressed during 6G development. This is emphasized in rural and remote areas where the digital divide is the most serious. Reasons for this include low population density, low incomes or even poverty, difficult terrain, missing and unreliable Unconnected in Rural and infrastructure and low level of education. In addition, the COVID pandemic has changed society’s priorities on many fronts, including remote education, remote working, and remote healthcare. In other words, Remote Areas to Meet UN SDG’s societal resilience should be increased. The goal of the workshop is to raise awareness about the problem, open discussions, dig deeper in challenges and share information. This is done by offering talks, via an interactive session and by sharing the results of the latter openly at least through the 6Gchannel (https://www.6gchannel.com/) to benefit all the 6G researchers, e.g., in their development projects.

Workshop 1 Tuesday, 8 June 2021, 9:30-11:00/11:30-13:00, The mentioned challenges cry for innovative solutions to provide affordable yet sufficient services to the Zoom Room people. Furthermore, it has been identified that that many United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) require connectivity. In addition, recognition of human as well authorities’ needs (like public safety) and requirements and identifying use cases are extremely important, though it is hard to see to Workshop Chair: Organisers: 2030s and 2040s, where 6G will be used. This workshop offers a forum to hear and discuss these things at this early stage of 6G.

WS9: Spectrum Sharing This workshop is intended to highlight the current status and future strategic challenges of studies, techniques and regulation to enable the shared and efficient access to spectrum and further develop the spectrum sharing paradigm with appreciation of regulatory needs and technological enablers, as well as for the Digital Ecosystem underlying research challenges. The 5G and future 6G ecosystems blur the traditional boundaries between wired and wireless, terrestrial and satellite, as well as between the use of licensed and unlicensed frequency bands, under different Towards 6G authorisation regimes. As a result, the efficient use of spectrum is becoming a major regulatory challenge, which calls for future-proof strategies and rules to allow more rapid access to airwaves and to promote innovation. Spectrum sharing is the key enabler to maximise efficiency of spectrum resources, deliver digital services in the coming decades and provide more flexibility in spectrum management for verticals. Emerging technologies such as cognitive radio, geolocation databases and the use of higher frequencies bring new opportunities for sharing, but pose new technical and regulatory challenges. Balanced access

WS10: 5G for CCAM for The 5th generation of mobile networks, promises significant qualitative and quantitative advances for multiple vertical domains, including the fast evolving automotive sector. However, most studies and investigations contribute to and assess these advances under the implicit assumption of a single network service provider, Cross-Border Corridors with typical national coverage. A series of 5G-PPP Research Projects, notably ICT-18-2018: 5G-MOBIX, 5G-CARMEN and 5G-CroCo, has targeted this limitation, explicitly focusing on a series of challenges emerging for Cooperative Connected and Automated Mobility (CCAM) applications, in the context of the inherent (inter-)national mobility and cross-border and/or multi-operator environments. Running now for more than two years, the projects have established a deep understanding of these challenges, have developed corresponding solutions, and are now starting to produce experimental results from 5G deployments across a series of European cross-border corridors, but also, national multi-operator trial sites. This workshop aims to bring together the experiences gained in these projects, targeting a focused discussion on the technical challenges, considered solutions and most importantly, preliminary results from the ongoing Tuesday, 8 June 2021, 9:30-11:00/11:30-13:00, cross-border trials along 5G cross-border corridors across Europe. The event will offer the opportunity to Workshop 10 Zoom Room consolidate views and promote the understanding of the various barriers and opportunities brought by 5G, for CCAM, exposing the first lessons learned from 5G network deployments and corresponding trials in these projects.

Hands-on introduction tutorial to Fed4FIRE using the Virtual on Fed4FIRE Testbeds and Wall testbed Openwifi Openwifi introduction Openwifi demonstration on a remote testbed (w-iLab.t) and instructions how to reproduce this

(using the account and tools learned in step 2.) Tutorial 5 Tuesday, 8 June 2021, 14:00-17:30, Zoom Room Level/Pre-requisites For the first part, knowing how to log in on a linux server with ssh is a pre-requisite for the hands-on part. The general Fed4FIRE overview requires no pre-requisites. For the second part on openwifi, knowledge about wireless/WiFi protocols is handy. Motivation and context:

The first part of the tutorial will focus on using Fed4FIRE. Fed4FIRE (www.fed4fire.eu) is the largest federation of testbeds in Europe and has also a federation with US GENI (instageni and exogeni testbeds) and US Cloudlab. With a single Fed4FIRE account and the jFed tool (https://jfed.ilabt.imec.be) you can access all those resources for experimentation. The testbeds come in different flavours, such as: • Wired networking/SDN/NFV testbeds • Wireless networking testbeds • 5G testbeds • IoT testbeds • Cloud and bigdata testbeds

This tutorial will show you hands-on how to use these resources. More information can be found at https://doc.fed4fire.eu . The second part of the tutorial will focus on a very specific topic making use of the testbeds: openwifi. In the H2020 Orca project (https://www.orca-project.eu/), imec has developed an open source reference stack for Wi-Fi (802.11a/g/n, 802.11ax is under development) running on software defined radios (FPGA based). This will be demonstrated live using SDRs on a remote testbed, showing the different steps needed to use this openwifi ona Lecturers Fed4FIRE testbeds. More information on openwifi can be found at Brecht Vermeulen, https://github.com/open-sdr/openwifi. In the openwifi roadmap imec/Ghent University, Belgium imec is developing time-sensitive and MIMO features that could offer a low cost prototyping platform for supporting (i) time- sensitive networking and (ii) advanced 6G radio architectures like Xianjun Jiao, cell-free distributed massive MIMO. imec/Ghent University, Belgium

There is an urgent demand for 5GZORRO, TERAFLOW, HEXA-X,ARIADNE, 5G-CLARITY, truly autonomous network management solutions for supporting 5G-COMPLETE, INSPIRE-5Gplus, MONB5G, TERAWAY, efficient and intelligent networks at scale, beyond the current 5G. 5GROWTH, 5G-TOURS, 5G-CARMEN 3/ 4A clear vision on requirements and challenges for Autonomous Moderated brainstorming and discussion among participants Network Management to be addressed towards 6G is missing. It is observed that networks will require a more efficient use of heterogeneous virtualisation technologies from multiple radio, edge and core domains, also from multiple operators; moreover, highly automated management and orchestration solutions will be needed to implement data-driven network management to exploit advanced analytics techniques; zero-touch solutions and intent-based approaches to network slicing will take critical role to manage the huge scale of software-defined network functions; heterogeneous resource trading and sharing (extended to spectrum) will need to be used to implement networks and service pervasiveness, at acceptable CAPEX for Operators and fully integrated with end-to-end trust and security. This session originates from preliminary results on autonomous network management from some5G PPP research projects (namely LOCUS, 5GZORRO, TERAFLOW, HEXA-X, ARIADNE, 5G-CLARITY, 5G-COMPLETE, INSPIRE-5Gplus,MONB5G, TERAWAY, 5GROWTH, 5G-TOURS, 5G-CARMEN). The event aims at generating an opportunity for experts from industry, standard organizations, and the research community to share research findings, to identify gaps and prioritise the challenges of a strategic research agenda on Autonomous Network Management on the path to 6G.
