Resumen
The evolution of mobile telecoms networks Beyond-5G creates a tremendous opportunity for Europe to
establish leadership in innovation by addressing the requirements of use case from PPDR, smart
agriculture, media, eHealth, education, transportation, logistics, Industry 4.0, and energy
sectors. IMAGINE-B5G project aims to create an advanced and accessible end-to-end (E2E) 5G platform
for Large-Scale Trials and Pilots, providing a set of B5G applications, enabled by the integration
of advanced 5G disrupting technologies. The project will support 3GPP Rel-17 and beyond features
which are crucial for implementation of private networks under real-life operational conditions to
enable advanced 5G services which are driven by the industrial needs and requirements of a wide
variety of verticals. The functionalities built into the B5G platform will enable these advanced 5G
vertical applications to be demonstrated at scale and will allow the project to identify and
validate new 5G KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) and KVIs (Key Value Indicators) across three
different but equally fundamental domains - societal, application and management. All KPIS and KVIs
will be verified as relevant to the use cases supported, through demonstration of their importance
to end-to-end large-scale trials and pilots. IMAGINE-B5G brings together four advanced 5G
experimental facilities, in Norway, Spain, Portugal and France. These facilities will capitalise on
previous 5G- PPP infrastructure (ICT-17) and vertical trial projects (ICT-19) reusing the platform
components and extending the existing capabilities of these facilities. This will ensure a
successful implementation of SNS-D-01-01 goals and expected outcomes. The IMAGINE-B5G strategy to
achieve this is built up implementation of the latest 5G Rel-16 technology enablers. The project is
envisioned to become an incubator, facilitating technology innovations and a diverse set of
advanced 5G applications, services and ecosystem developments.
