Towards Resilient 6G Networks - A Swedish-Finnish Joint Undertaking − FiSRE

Purpose and goal

The project aims to establish resilience as a fundamental design paradigm for future 6G mobile networks and to demonstrate practical solutions that enable 6G networks to resist, absorb, recover, adapt, and learn from adverse events. The project will explore the critical interplay among resilience, efficiency, and sustainability, ensuring that 6G systems remain robust and trustworthy under stress while remaining economically viable.

Expected effects and result

6G-FISRE delivers resilient-by-design mobile networking from 5G-Advanced to 6G and beyond: a Nordic threat/requirements landscape and resilience roadmap; AI-driven end-to-end architectures that predict disruption and adapt core/edge/RAN; a set of concrete resilience enablers (assurance, self-healing, graceful degradation); and a testbed-validated proof-of-concept demonstrating measurable continuity gains and informing standardisation.

Planned approach and implementation

6G-FiSRE leverages theoretical analysis, modeling, optimization but also experimental prototyping as approach. A particular challenge is the distributed set-up with partners in Sweden and Finland, requiring frequent synchronization points for the projects as a whole, but also on a work package level. Many work items are actually collaborative work between at least one Swedish and one Finnish partner.
