Streamlining 6G to cut redundancy for smarter networks (SAILS-6G)

Research Project, 2025 – 2027

As smart cities and augmented reality applications expand, the demand for precise, low-latency localisation and sensing (L&S) in 6G communications intensifies. Current approaches flood transceivers with data from numerous sources, causing network congestion and redundancy. This inefficiency stems from a focus on accuracy over energy use, posing a challenge for 6G advancement. Addressing this issue is crucial for creating efficient communication networks. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the SAILS-6G project aims to enhance energy efficiency in L&S through semantic communications, which prioritise useful information transmission over raw data. By integrating energy efficiency into L&S optimisation, SAILS-6G seeks to reduce energy consumption while maintaining performance, leading to significant progress in 6G technology.
