PREDICT-6G: Exploring the Future of Deterministic Networking in SNS JU Phase 1

The Programmable AI-Enabled Deterministic Networking for 6G (PREDICT-6G) project is part of the European Union’s Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) Phase 1 initiatives. These initiatives aim to enhance 5G technology and explore 6G concepts. Coordinated by the University Carlos III of Madrid, the project runs from January 2023 to December 2025.

PREDICT-6G’s goal is to develop a fully integrated 6G network solution that ensures seamless service for industries requiring extremely precise timing and high reliability. To achieve this, the project will design deterministic network systems, combining wired and wireless technologies, and employ AI-driven solutions to monitor and optimise performance.

Central to this effort is the development of a Multi-technology Multi-domain Data-Plane (MDP), which will upgrade the reliability and timing features of current standards to deliver inherently deterministic behaviour. Complementing this, the project will create an AI-driven Multi-stakeholder Interdomain Control-Plane (AICP) to ensure time-sensitive services by predicting network performance, identifying potential issues, and efficiently routing traffic.

These capabilities will be supported by an AI-powered Digital Twin (DT) framework, enabling real-time prediction of network behaviour and proactive adjustments to meet service requirements for reliability and timing.

PREDICT-6G is part of a broader initiative under SNS JU Phase 1, with sister projects DESIRE6G and DETERMINISTIC6G also exploring advanced 6G solutions.

SNS Journal earlier this year covered many of SNS JU Phase 1 & 2 projects and is available here.

PREDICT-6G talked about their progress in a recent Hexa-X II Workshop on Architecture and Standards. Their talk is embedded below:

The slides are available here.
