SUSTAINET - Sustainable Technologies for Advanced Resilient and Energy-Efficient Networks
LKN's role in SUSTAINET is dedicated to maximizing network sovereignty and availability. Network sovereignty is the ability to operate a network while minimizing the impact of manufacturer failures to reduce the dependency on network component manufacturers. Network availability is the probability that the network offers connectivity to the traffic in the network at a given time instant.
This project focuses on creating new metrics and implementing simulation and measurement techniques that will offer network operators guidelines for designing sovereign networks and minimizing reliance on component manufacturers. A common approach to managing increasing network traffic is the addition of new network links. This task will also explore strategies for selecting the optimal links to enhance network sovereignty and availability, while taking the electric power grid into account.To facilitate a comprehensive understanding and comparison of networks, a unified dependability framework will be developed to analyze the relationship between cost, availability, and sovereignty. In-depth modeling of the network, its components, and subcomponents will provide insights into the complexities of sovereignty modeling. This will empower network operators to optimize all requirements in alignment with 6G standards.
