项目摘要

ETHER aims to provide a holistic approach for integrated terrestrial-non-terrestrial networks targeting at 100% network coverage, 99.99999% service continuity and 99.99999% reliability, with 3 times higher energy efficiency and 95% Total Cost of Ownership reduction compared to current terrestrial only deployments. To achieve these goals, ETHER develops solutions for a Unified Radio Access Network (RAN) and for the energy-efficient, AI-enabled resource management across the terrestrial, aerial and space domains, while creating the business plans driving future investments in the area. To that end, ETHER introduces and combines a series of key technologies under a unique 3D multi-layered architectural proposition that brings together: i) a UE antenna design and implementation for direct handheld access in the integrated network, ii) a robust unified waveform, iii) energy-efficient seamless horizontal and vertical handover policies, iv) a zero-touch management and network orchestrator to self-adapt to rapidly evolving traffic conditions without human intervention, v) a flexible payload system to enable programmability in the aerial and space layers, vi) joint communication, compute and storage resource allocation solutions targeting at End-to-End network performance optimization leveraging efficient and novel predictive analytics schemes, and vii) energy-efficient semantics-aware information handling techniques combined with edge computing and caching for reduced latency across the distributed 3D compute and storage continuum.

Ether的目的是为目标网络覆盖率，99.99999％的服务连续性和99.99999％的可靠性提供一种整体方法，以靶向100％网络覆盖率，可靠性为99.9999％，能源效率提高了3倍，总拥有率降低了3倍，而总体所有权的总成本则与当前的陆地部署相比。为了实现这些目标，Ether为统一的无线电访问网络（RAN）以及在陆地，空中和太空领域的能源有效的资源管理开发解决方案，同时制定了推动该地区未来投资的业务计划。为此，Ether在独特的3D多层建筑命题下介绍并结合了一系列关键技术，该命题汇集在一起：i）UE天线设计和实施，用于在集成网络中直接访问的直接手持式访问，ii）强大的统一波形，一个强大的统一波形，iii）无效的启动式和垂直的派系，并驱动了Zerotal and serotal and serod and zerot and zerod serod serod a zerod zerod zerod zerod zerod zerod zere zere zere zere zere zere zere zere zere zere zere zere iv）iv） evolving traffic conditions without human intervention, v) a flexible payload system to enable programmability in the aerial and space layers, vi) joint communication, compute and storage resource allocation solutions targeting at End-to-End network performance optimization leveraging efficient and novel predictive analytics schemes, and vii) energy-efficient semantics-aware information handling techniques combined with edge computing and caching for reduced latency across the distributed 3D计算和存储连续性。
