IoT-NGIN introduces novel research and innovation concepts, acting as the “IoT Engine” which will fuel the Next Generation of IoT as a part of the European Next Generation Internet. IoT-NGIN uncovers a pattern-based meta-architecture that encompasses evolving, legacy, and future IoT architectures. The project also optimizes IoT/M2M and 5G/MCM communications, including using secure-by-design micro-services to extend the edge cloud paradigm. Moreover, it enables user and self-aware, autonomous IoT systems through privacy-preserving federated ML and ambient intelligence, with AR support for humans. Distributed IoT cybersecurity and privacy, for example, using Self-Sovereign Identities and interconnected DLTs to implement Meta-Level Digital Twins, are also among the main priorities of IoT-NGIN. The developed 5G Resource Management API in IoT-NGIN utilizes ETSI OSM as the NFV MANO for the orchestration of container-based network services to be deployed in the edge. The developed API will also enable the service migration for IoT devices so that they can run their processes as container-based network services in the 5G edge cloud. |

ONOFRE-3
|
|
The ONOFRE-3 project deals with a 5G/6G ecosystem featured by the heterogeneity of the edge, fog, and cloud processing layers for proper management of dynamic QoS application requirements running on mobile nodes. To overcome this complexity, AI and Machine Learning techniques for contextual information prediction and network management are proposed. AI/ML can also support both offline planning methods and multiaccess coordination and control and be deployed at end devices. In this scenario, security is also mandatory from the start, hence, advanced cloud data privacy and security techniques are proposed to be smoothly managed and controlled across different cloud computing domains. Finally, practical evaluation of these mechanisms needs a realistic application scenario with clear requirements. In this line, CCAM and C-ITS verticals are taken for reference evaluation, which provide clearly defined and demanding QoS requirements and serve as reference area to analyse and develop concrete and meaningful benchmarks in a massive latency-bounded slice. ONOFRE-3 studies and tests novel mechanisms at all the involved stages: offline network planning, online provisioning and management, multiple radio access and end devices. We propose to use intelligent orchestration of cloud, fog, and edge computing for CCAM and C-ITS, over a secured framework and supported by AI/ML techniques. The project outcomes are expected to have a significant economic and social impact. Cloud and edge computing advances brought by the project will contribute to the fields that will also drive the future ICT economy. Project results will also directly contribute to improve the Key Enabling Technologies identified for CCAM and should help accelerate its adoption.
ONOFRE-3 makes use of ETSI OSM to orchestrate Network Services (NS) in Edge, C-ITS and CCAM scenarios. |

5Genesis
|
|
The Genesis of 5G has entered the crucial phase of experimentation, and currently faces the challenge to validate the 5G network KPIs and verify the 5G technologies with an end-to-end approach. Towards this objective, a key challenge is to integrate all the highly diverse results and technologies from EU, global as well as internal (corporate) R&D projects, to “glue together” the 5G picture and unveil the potential of a truly full-stack, end-to-end 5G platform, able to meet the defined KPI targets. In this context, the main goal of 5GENESIS will be to validate 5G KPIs for various 5G use cases, in both controlled set-ups and large-scale events. This will be achieved by bringing together results from a considerable number of EU projects as well as the partners’ internal R&D activities in order to realise an integrated End-to-end 5G Facility. 5GENESIS has chosen ETSI OSM as MANO solution in four out of its five local platforms.

5G-TRANSFORMER is a 5G PPP Phase2 project that addresses the transformation of today’s rigid mobile transport networks into an SDN/NFV-based 5G Mobile Transport and Computing Platform (MTP) supporting the specific needs of vertical industries. Current considered verticals in 5G-TRANSFORMER are: automotive, eHealth, media & entertainment, cloud robotics and mobile virtual network operators (MVNO). In order to do so, 5G-TRANSFORMER proposes a novel architecture aligned with ETSI NFV Interface and Information Model Specifications (IFA) that defines four main building blocks: the Vertical Slicer (5GT-VS) as the vertical front-end and the common entry point for all verticals, the Service Orchestrator (5GT-SO) as the E2E service orchestration platform, the Mobile Transport and Computing Platform (5GT-MTP) as the underlying unified transport stratum for integrated fronthaul and backhaul networks, and the Monitoring platform (5GT-MON) in charge of service and performance monitoring. Our key technical solutions are (1) Network Slicing to enable the provisioning and managing slices tailored to the needs of different verticals; and (2) the aggregation and federation of transport networking and computing fabric, from the edge all the way to the core and cloud using efficient contextual Virtual Network Function placement algorithms for dynamic deployment of multi-site network services while satisfying the specific demanding requirements of vertical industries.

5GZORRO
|
|
Despite the progress of last years, 5G today is not yet at a stage of complete achievement of the promised performances and functions: different application profiles (eMBB, URLLC, mMTC) do not easily coexist in network slices; slicing is casted in various different forms; network analytics are not at end-to-end scope; services do not span multiple operator domains yet. 5GZORRO consortium envisions the evolution of 5G to achieve truly production-level support of diverse Vertical applications, which coexist on a highly pervasive shared network infrastructure, through automated end-to-end network slicing, across multiple operators and infrastructure/resource providers, who can share heterogeneous types of resources (spectrum, virtualized radio access, virtualized edge/core). 5GZORRO uses distributed Artificial Intelligence (AI) to implement cognitive network orchestration and management with minimal manual intervention (Zero-Touch Automation).
Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) are adopted to implement flexible and efficient distributed security and trust across the various parties involved in a 5G end-to-end service chain. With these, we can implement an evolved 5G Service Layer for Smart Contracts among multiple non-trusted parties, to allow SLA monitoring, spectrum sharing, intelligent and automated data-driven resource discovery and management. Our cross domain security & trust orchestration coupled with service lifecycle automation can enforce security policies in multi-tenant and multi-stakeholder environments. Three use cases validate our research in 5GBarcelona and 5TONIC/Madrid test facilities: Smart Contracts for Ubiquitous Computing/Connectivity, Dynamic Spectrum Allocation, and Pervasive virtual CDNs over 3rd-party edge resources. 5GZORRO target stakeholders are telecom operators, vertical slice owners/operators, spectrum owners, regulators, passive/ active facility owners, many of which are in our consortium of 13 top 5G players from 7 different EU countries. 5GZORRO integrates with an enhanced zero-touch management and orchestration solution capable to provide intra- and cross-domain network services and network slice, strictly coupled with 5G infrastructure management and monitoring functions. The 5GZORRO zero-touch orchestration sub-system executes business and workflow orchestration strictly integrated with the 5GZORRO Telecom Marketplace, and specifically manages lifecycles of network slices and network services spanning multiple administrative domains (cross-domain). At the single domain level, ETSI OSM is used to implement the domain specific NFVO functionality, and implement the related lifecycle management actions for the service chunks in scope. In 5GZORRO, OSM integrates with capabilities for resource discovery and product offering, multi-domain monitoring, deployment in secure and trusted VIM zones (TEE), deployment in cloud-native VIMs. |

(1) by leveraging/extending existing assets such as Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), Remote Attestation/Path Proof/RCA (Root Cause Analysis), and end-to-end liability management between parties, and (2) by introducing novel solutions/paradigms exploiting the potential of new trends including AI/ML and Blockchains. The project outcomes will serve the crucial objectives of intelligent security and pervasive trust for future connected systems where Security will not be software-defined only, but will also be governed by Algorithms (AI, ML, Modelling, Optimization) to realize new concepts such as pro-active security while being trustworthy. INSPIRE-5Gplus integrates security for 5G domains based on NFV infrastructure. Security management is delegated to security and service VNFs deployed and orchestrated by the ETSI OSM functionality, interconnecting different OSM’s through an integration fabric inspired on ETSI ZSM.

PALANTIR
|
|
PALANTIR aims to provide multi-layered, infrastructure-wide threat monitoring, risk assessment, cyber-resiliency (both at security and integrity levels) and knowledge sharing in a heterogeneous ecosystem. To this end, different Machine Learning (ML) models are applied to detect threats based on different sources from the infrastructure; and adequate Security-as-a-Service (SecaaS) are orchestrated based in the Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) architecture whenever a threat is detected or whenever there is an integrity breach of the systems, reported by the Trusted Computing (TC) techniques. ETSI OSM Release TEN is used in PALANTIR by interacting with its NBI to handle the packages onboarded, manage the lifecycle management of Cloud-Native Functions (CNFs) deployed in bare-metal multi-k8s cluster and configured by day2-actions, as well as reusing some of the data collected by OSM from the internal constructs on the infrastructure (at VNF and VIM level) and data parsed from the packages.

PLEDGER
|
|
The PLEDGER project aims at delivering a new architectural paradigm and a toolset that will pave the way for next generation edge computing infrastructures, tackling the modern challenges faced today and coupling the benefits of low latencies on the edge, with the robustness and resilience of cloud infrastructures. The project will deliver a set of tools and processes that will enable a) edge computing providers to enhance the stability and performance effectiveness of their edge infrastructures, through modelling the overheads and optimal groupings of concurrently running services, runtime analysis and adaptation, thus gaining a competitive advantage b) edge computing adopters to understand the computational nature of their applications, investigate abstracted and understandable QoS metrics, facilitate trust and smart contracting over their infrastructures and identify how they can balance their cost and performance to optimize their competitiveness and monitor their SLAs. By providing this toolset, the project will allow also third parties to act as independent validators of QoS features in IoT applications, enabling new decentralized applications and business models, thus filling a large gap in the emerging edge/IoT computing market landscape.
PLEDGER selected ETSI OSM as the NFV orchestrator for service creation and instantiation in scenarios with network slicing requirements. OSM instantiate NS on top of network slices previously provisioned by the PLEDGER platform.

SliceNet
|
|
SliceNet defines a vertical-oriented, Quality of Experience (QoE)-driven network slicing framework that focuses on cognitive network management and control of end-to-end network slicing operation and slice-based (and slice-enabled) services in 5G networks. SliceNet provides efficient orchestration, management and control of 5G network slices for delivering a wide plethora of services customized for heterogeneous vertical businesses with diverging requirements for Quality of Service (QoS), QoE and Service Level Agreement (SLA). As a further challenge, SliceNet also tackle network slicing in multi-domain and cross-provider environments, therefore requiring additional and dedicated composition logics (at orchestration, management and control levels) for slice providers to offer and deliver to verticals end-to-end slices while abstracting the details of different providers involved.

SUPERFLUIDITY
|
|
In Physics, superfluidity is a state in which matter behaves like a fluid with zero viscosity. The SUPERFLUIDITY project was a 5GPPP Phase 1 research project aimed at achieving superfluidity in networks: the ability to instantiate services on-the-fly, run them anywhere in the network (core, aggregation, edge) and shift them transparently to different locations.
The project demonstrated a converged cloud-based 5G concept addressing three forms of heterogeneity: heterogeneous traffic and sources; heterogeneous services and needs; and heterogeneous access technologies, with multi-vendor network components. SUPERFLUIDITY contributed a new GUI to ETSI OSM Rel FOUR leveraging the new NBI based on ETSI NFV SOL005. |
