8BELLS in NANCY: Network Information Framework & AI-Powered Smart Pricing

Posted

Discover how 8BELLS drives innovation in the NANCY project—enabling intelligent, secure, and efficient Beyond-5G networks.

In this video, 8BELLS presents two major contributions to NANCY’s architecture:

  • The Network Information Framework (NIF): an integrated platform that evaluates, analyzes, and optimizes the performance of Blockchain-based Radio Access Networks (B-RANs). NIF connects data ingestion, predictive analytics, and visual dashboards, giving researchers and network operators clear insights into coverage, latency, and network behavior.

  • The Smart Pricing Module (SPM): an AI-powered system that determines dynamic, fair, and efficient pricing for B-RAN services in the NANCY Marketplace. By leveraging game theory, auction mechanics, and reinforcement learning, SPM balances user costs and provider revenues for sustainable, data-driven network economics.

8BELLS’ dual innovations combine technical intelligence and economic optimization—making next-generation resource allocation adaptive, fair, and transparent. These advances position NANCY at the forefront of secure, automated, and user-centric 5G/6G connectivity for Europe’s digital society.
