Joint proposition by NTT, KDDI, Fujitsu, NEC, and Rakuten Mobile embraced as Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications/NICT’s “Innovative ICT Fund Projects for Beyond 5G/6G” for social execution and abroad growth oriented tactical program (typical facilities innovation facility)
TOKYO, Oct 25, 2024 – (JCN Newswire) – NTT Corporation, KDDI Corporation, KDDI Research, Inc. taking part in research study and advancement as a research study partner, Fujitsu Limited, NEC Corporation, and Rakuten Mobile, Inc. were chosen by the Japan-based National Institute of Information and Communications Technology to perform freshly commissioned research study in FY 2024 referring to a tactical program oriented towards social application and abroad growth (typical facilities innovation facility) for the Innovative ICT Fund Projects for Beyond 5G/6G.
Through this research study and advancement, the above celebrations will establish an innovation that makes it possible for users to concurrently utilize numerous cloud information centers and to change connection locations flexibly, in addition to guaranteeing fault tolerance and service quality control through cooperation amongst All-Photonics Networks (hereinafter “APN”) of several suppliers. We will likewise establish a little APN node that will make it possible for APN release at rural information centers and little and medium-sized websites.
In the Beyond 5G/6G age, society’s informatization will speed up even more, and huge details processing will be needed. The requirement for APNs is growing as need is anticipated to increase for the more growth of bandwidth and greater processing speed for existing details and interactions systems, in addition to for innovations that supply the lower power intake needed for carbon neutrality. Under such situations, conversations on supplying APNs commonly to society were held by Japan’s Technology Strategy Committee of the Information and Communications Technology Subcommittee of the Information and Communications Council and the All-Optical Network Common Infrastructure Technology Working Group developed under this committee. As an outcome, the concept that it is required to link several websites concurrently and to have functions to team up amongst service providers was revealed in the reports “Information and Communications Technology Strategy Toward Beyond 5G” (June 2024)1 and “Development Direction and Dissemination Measures for All-Photonics Network Common Infrastructure Technology” (May 2024)2. In order to establish this innovation, NICT has actually obtained propositions for the Beyond 5G (6G) Fund Project, to which NTT, KDDI, Fujitsu, NEC, and Rakuten Mobile collectively sent propositions.
On October 22, 2024, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and NICT revealed the outcomes of their choice for the “Beyond 5G (6G) Fund Project” as a social application and abroad growth oriented tactical program (typical facilities innovation facility), and the above 5 business were picked to carry out the program.
This research study and advancement will make it possible for APNs from numerous suppliers to comply to make sure fault tolerance and service quality control, in addition to allow users to concurrently utilize several cloud information centers and change connection locations flexibly. The above celebrations are likewise preparing to establish a little APN node, which will make it possible for the release of APNs in local information centers and little and medium-sized websites.
The following products will be dealt with in this research study and advancement:
R&D Item 1: Develop total APN architecture
R&D Item 2: Research and establish typical APN facilities innovation
(a) Photonic network federation innovation
API functions for accepting interaction user’s demands and function for trustworthy and steady affiliation in between APNs of different providers according to interaction user’s demands (e.g. location, interaction quality).
(b) Subchannel circuit exchange innovation
Makes it possible for the synchronised usage of several clouds and information centers in addition to versatile changing, when accommodating numerous interaction users, making sure interaction quality (needed bandwidth, hold-up, and jitter) by E2E according to the requirements of each interaction user.
(c)Distributed ROADM technology3
A user interface function that allows the easy operation of network nodes geared up with just a part of the primary functions (wavelength insertion/branching and multiplexing functions) of the existing ROADM, which allows the downsizing of APN nodes and the release of APN in rural information centers and little and medium-sized websites. It likewise offers a cooperation function in between the ROADM node with the primary functions and the scaled down APN node being thought about for setup.
Figure 1: Summary of R&D Activities for Common Infrastructure Technology
When the results of this research study and advancement are executed in society, APNs of different service providers, consisting of various interaction providers, can be utilized effortlessly. It will allow high-speed, low-latency synchronised connection to several suppliers that offer AI, cloud, and other services, as well as versatile choice and changing of connection locations. The 5 business will team up to understand such a society.
