NANCY SNS JU Project

The aim of NANCY: An Artificial Intelligent Aided Unified Network for Secure Beyond 5G Long Term Evolution is to introduce a secure and intelligent architecture for the beyond the fifth generation (B5G) wireless network. 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 will be designed. These architectures and protocols will make the most by jointly optimizing the mid-haul, and fronthaul. This is expected to enable truly distributed intelligence and transform the network into a low-power computer. Likewise, by following a holistic optimization approach and leveraging the developments in blockchain, NANCY aims at supporting E2E personalized, multitenant and perpetual protection.
