NANCY

A secure and intelligent architecture for the beyond the fifth generation (B5G) wireless network

As we stand on the brink of a new era in wireless communications, the journey towards 6G has already begun. NANCY aims to shed light on the role of Semantic Communications (SemCom) in the beyond 5G era, and the challenges that may arise as we strive to meet the semantically enriched communication needs of the 2030s.

Leveraging AI and blockchain, NANCY enables secure and intelligent resource management, flexible networking, and orchestration. In this direction, novel architectures, namely point-to-point (P2P) connectivity for device-to-device connectivity, mesh networking, and relay-based communications, as well as protocols for medium access, mobility management, and resource allocation are being designed.

At the heart of the project’s vision for 6G is SemCom, a paradigm that goes beyond traditional point-to-point systems, focusing on extracting and filtering goal-specific semantic information at the source before transmitting signals, and decoding and post-processing semantics at the destination. This approach transforms the networking architecture into a multi-user distributed, edge-to-cloud network.

DRAXIS has created an automation for creating digital contracts and agreements that will act as SLA among parties.
