This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) is for a research project titled "NETS: SMALL: FUNGIBILITY IN MOBILE NETWORKS FOR RESILIENT 6G". The award, valued at $552,893, will be conducted by Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027. The project aims to enable natively resilient 6G mobile networks by leveraging the equivalence or "fungibility" between different network resources, components, and functions. The research will focus on characterizing mobile network resilience, exploring fungibility between spectral and spatial resources, quantifying the impact of novel attacks on radio access technologies, and examining the fungibility between disaggregated radio access network functions. The project will develop new metrics, resource management strategies, and optimization algorithms to enhance the resilience of mobile networks against disruptions. The research findings and developed knowledge will be disseminated to relevant international stakeholders to inform the roadmap for 6G system development and adoption.
