In the constantly evolving world of 5G and Beyond-Radio Access Networks (B-RAN), dynamic pricing techniques are crucial for ensuring competitive fairness and network profitability. The Smart Pricing Module (SPM) is an innovative AI-driven NANCY subsystem that calculates the best pricing policy for network providers. The SPM, based on auction theory and reinforcement learning, allows suppliers to dynamically modify pricing while maximizing efficiency and profit.

As 6G looms on the horizon, the complexity of resource management has grown exponentially. In Open Radio Access Networks (O-RAN), virtualized Radio Access Networks (vRANs) must efficiently allocate both radio and computational resources to meet diverse performance requirements.

In the near future, 6G networks are expected to function as a single, shared system among various stakeholders. The role of the customers will shift to that of providers as physical and virtualized infrastructures will be ready to host any type of application or service.

Cryptography is crucial in our daily lives, enabling us to trust telecommunication channels and conduct essential transactions like online shopping, finances, and healthcare. However, the internet’s short history has seen some widely used cryptographic schemas proven to be vulnerable, jeopardizing the confidentiality of information transmitted over the net.

Hyperledger Fabric is a permissioned blockchain platform designed for enterprise use, and its smart contracts are known as “chaincode.” The execution of chaincode is partitioned from transaction ordering to improve scalability and performance, making Hyperledger Fabric a suitable choice for complex business applications.

CI/CD stands for Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery or Continuous Deployment. It’s a set of best practices and methodologies in software development, aiming to deliver code changes more frequently and reliably and shorten the development cycles, using automation extensively.

The heterogeneous nature of 5G and B5G networks comprises multiple access networks, frequency bands, and cells, sometimes with overlapping coverage areas. This presents operators with network planning and deployment challenges.

In the rise of next-generation 5G and B5G networks, the integration of advanced technologies is transforming the landscape of mobile communications and beyond. Central to this transformation is the edge domain, which plays a crucial role in enhancing network performance, reducing latency, and enabling real-time data processing.

As we stand on the brink of a new era in wireless communications, the journey towards 6G has already begun. NANCY aims to shed light on the role of Semantic Communications (SemCom) in the beyond 5G era, and the challenges that may arise as we strive to meet the semantically enriched communication needs of the 2030s.
