OPTIMUS-6G

Optimized 6G-enabled IoT networks for unlicensed operations in the computing continuum

About OPTIMUS-6G

OPTIMUS-6G is a European research project advancing 6G-enabled IoT networks for fast, reliable, low-latency operations in unlicensed spectrum. The project develops multi-band and multi-RAT communication technologies, AI-driven orchestration, and network digital twin capabilities to support data processing across the computing continuum. Its framework will be validated in industrial, healthcare, and campus network environments.

Multi-band Communication and Sensing

Radio and optical technologies are combined to enable reliable, high-capacity 6G-IoT communication and sensing in unlicensed spectrum.

Intelligent Optimization

AI-driven orchestration and cross-layer protocols optimize communication, energy efficiency, resource allocation and data processing across the computing continuum.

Network Digital Twins

Digital twin technologies support planning, simulation, monitoring and optimization of 6G-IoT systems across realistic deployment scenarios.

Our Objectives

01

Multi-band 6G-IoT Architecture

Design an IoT network architecture based on multi-band and multi-RAT 6G communication technologies for fast, reliable, low-latency unlicensed operations.

02

AI-driven Cross-layer Orchestration

Implement AI-driven multi-RAT orchestration to optimize communications, energy efficiency, resource allocation, and data processing across the computing continuum.

03

Network Digital Twin Framework

Develop a 6G-enabled, IoT-oriented network digital twin framework for planning, simulation, and optimization of the proposed architecture and protocols.

04

Multi-domain Use Case Validation

Evaluate the OPTIMUS-6G framework across multiple domains and service requirements, including industrial, healthcare, and campus network environments.

05

Impact, Exploitation and Standardization

Provide a business value chain of impact and accelerate adoption through dissemination, exploitation, and standardization activities.

Our Aim

OPTIMUS-6G aims to develop an open, intelligent framework for 6G-enabled IoT operations in unlicensed spectrum. By combining multi-band radio and optical communications, AI-driven orchestration, and network digital twin technologies, the project targets reliable, low-latency, energy-efficient connectivity across the computing continuum.

The framework will be validated through real-world use cases in industrial automation, precision healthcare, and immersive campus networks.
