Tutorials

The 6G-Cloud Tutorial Series presents the project’s Proofs of Concept through online learning resources that combine video demonstrations, written explanations, diagrams and step-by-step walkthroughs.

Each tutorial is designed to help researchers, industry stakeholders, technical communities and the wider 6G ecosystem understand how the 6G-Cloud architecture is being implemented and validated in realistic testbed environments.

Through these tutorials, you can explore how 6G-Cloud brings together cloud-native network services, AI/ML-driven intelligence, orchestration mechanisms and cloud continuum resource management to support future 6G networks.

PoC-1: Overall Framework Creation and Validation

The first tutorial focuses on the integration and validation of the core 6G-Cloud architectural frameworks: the Cloud Continuum Framework, the Management and Orchestration Framework and the AI/ML Framework.

It introduces the PoC-1 implementation across two complementary testbeds: the Gaia Laboratory at the University of Murcia and the PL-5G Lab Platform at Warsaw University of Technology. The tutorial explains how the frameworks interact, how network services are deployed and managed, and how AI/ML functions support intelligent and adaptive orchestration.

PoC-2: Service-oriented RAN Composition with Flexible Control Fabric

The second tutorial focuses on service-oriented RAN composition and flexible control-fabric validation within the 6G-Cloud architecture.

It introduces the PoC-2 implementation across the BubbleRAN, VTT and BULL/AVANTIX testbed environments, explaining how SBA-RAN functions, RAN Message Bus communication, service discovery, AIMLF-supported workflows and intelligent NwApps contribute to adaptive RAN control and service composition.

Through this tutorial, you can explore how 6G-Cloud supports modular RAN Network Functions, AI/ML-assisted data processing, interference detection and classification, and event-driven service composition workflows.

PoC-3: Towards Network of Networks

The third tutorial focuses on the validation of the Network of Networks concept within the 6G-Cloud architecture.

It introduces the PoC-3 implementation across the NCS, OPL and UBI testbed environments, explaining how multiple Network Services can coexist, remain isolated or be dynamically interconnected across heterogeneous network domains.

Through this tutorial, you can explore how 6G-Cloud supports multi-domain orchestration, Network Digital Twin integration, AI/ML-assisted optimisation, SDN-based traffic engineering, energy-aware routing and PPDR-priority connectivity.
