Welcome! 👋 This website is all about a new paradigm for future mobile networks, specifically for the so called 6G.

What are we researching? 🔍 #

We’re researching a more flexible way to provide a data plane for mobile networks. It’s what we call 6G-RUPA (6G Recursive User Plane Architecture). That sounds like a lot of jargon, right? Let’s break it down:

  • We’re trying to make mobile networks more flexible 🔄
  • We want them to scale better 📈
  • We’re providing mechanisms to effectively build what is called a network of networks 🌐
  • Our ideas could help create new apps and services that aren’t possible right now ✨

Why This Matters 🌟 #

Mobile networks have been evolving rapidly over the past few decades. However, there are some protocols, specifically the so-called “user plane protocols” 📡 (which handle the actual transfer of user data) that had remained untouched for almost 30 years!

We believe that by rethinking how this part of mobile networks work, we can create more efficient and sustainable mobile networks for the future.

Who’s Behind This? 👥 #

I’m Sergio Gimenez, a PhD student working on ideas for future mobile networks.

I created this website to share my research in a way that’s easy for everyone to understand.

But I’m not alone! My supervisors Edu Grasa and Jordi Perelló support and guide me in this journey.

What We’re Doing 📚 #

We believe in sharing knowledge openly. On this website, you can:
