Private 5G networks have become a popular choice of various vertical industries to build dedicated and secure wireless in industry environments deploy their services with enhanced service flexibility device connectivity foster digitalization. This article proposes multiple multi-domain solutions private for across local premises interconnecting them the public networks. Such scenarios open up new market segment stakeholders, break current operators' business provisioning models. This, turn,...
Composts are widely used in horticulture as organic amendments to improve the properties of soils. have also been reported enhance disease suppressive potential soils and, therefore, could be a strategy for managing plant diseases. The aim this study was test ability amended with four different agro-industrial waste-based composts (chestnut peels and shells, spent coffee grounds, grape marc, olive leaves) inhibit growth activity Botrytis cinerea several soilborne pathogens. First, capacity...
This paper describes the integration between Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP) and UWS Slice Manager within European project 6G Brains. The proposed solution allows for End-To-End(E2E) Slicing, enabling fine-grain optimal traffic engineering of components. work's findings ensure an E2E connection. external services to create slices attach them easily. detailed monitoring network slice's inner With this information, ONAP can improve by creating optimising on demand. validation presents...
This paper proposes and validates a Interdomain Network Slicing framework for verticals, allowing them to directly participate in the establishment control of end-to-end Communication Services deployment across multiple inter-operator domains. The progresses means made available by different standards research initiatives enhance service requesting provisioning interfaces stakeholders involved, namely operators verticals. is validated under two use cases, showcasing effective instantiation...
The Fifth Generation Mobile Networks has transformed the paradigm of mobile network communications. In Beyond networks, Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are crucial components, optimizing resource management to improve performance as well end-users Quality Service while lowering operating costs. This work makes use an End-to-End 5G architecture validate three demonstrations: 1) Radio Access Network monitoring using a Flexible RIC's xApp; 2) Core Network's metrics...
Intent Based Networking (IBN) is a promising approach for automating and managing large complex networks. Integrating Voice-enabled Virtual Assistants (VVAs) with IBN Software Defined (SDN) has improved network management efficiency flexibility. However, there still room optimization improvement in installing intents industrial scenarios. Network Orchestration Automation plays an important role within the Beyond 5G 6G Networks, considering existing practices orchestrating Functions. This...
Over the past 50 years, global plastic production has surged exponentially. Around 40% of this is used for packaging, most which single-use, while 20% in construction. Despite vast quantities produced, only about 6% discarded plastics are properly recycled, 10% incinerated, and majority disposed without proper management. With low recycling rates some being non-recyclable or with limited cycles, it important to explore new ways reusing waste as secondary raw materials. This study explores...
The Radio Access Network (RAN) is undergoing deep changes in the transition to beyond 5G systems. Open-Radio (O-RAN) alliance aims split RAN architecture and support heterogeneity. At same time, Open-Source Software (OSS) solutions like OpenAirInterface srsRAN initiatives attempt incorporate several stake-holders. This work proposes an End-to-End (E2E) orchestration framework using OSS that are O-RAN compliant. A high-level presented focused on Intelligent Controller (RIC): connection...
5G aims to support ubiquitous connectivity, ultra-Reliable Low Latency (uRLLC), and massive device communication in Next Generation networks. To achieve these objectives, the Open-Radio Access Networks (O-RAN) alliance decouple Radio Network (RAN) architecture allow heterogeneity. ensure services' requirements, it is necessary guarantee solutions that improve management of network. This work proposes an End-to-End (E2E) orchestration framework for a infrastructure with open-source...
5G enables tailoring network services to the needs of different vertical use cases. These Verticals may require deployments across distinct communication service providers' administrative domains. Ensuring secure interaction between domains is fundamental for deploying end‐to‐end in such environments. This paper examines using Moving Target Defense (MTD) mechanisms VXLAN‐based tunneled connections realize inter‐domain deployments. The are evaluated scenarios, mainly targeting throughput and...
Abstract The development of explainable news credibility prediction models is critical both for fighting the viral propagation misinformation and improving media literacy. This work investigates a variety content indicators approaching different semantic discourse dimensions, such as title representativeness, reasoning errors, sentiment intensity. These were inspired by previous study conducted English news, aimed at reaching collective consensus on which could be widely used predicting...
In the mid-term future, vehicles will generate large amounts of data for both standalone usage (e.g., to recognize road features and external elements such as lanes, signs, pedestrians) cooperative lane merging). However, processing captured video image results comes with significant computational requirements GPUs). Computer vision tasks, feature extraction, are unfeasible from a business perspective if performed directly in User Equipment (UE), automotive manufacturers unwilling increase...
