Hannover Messe 2025 - 2 Projects of the "Integrated Communication Systems" Group

The “Integrated Communication Systems” Group will be presenting the results of two research projects at Hannover Messe 2025.

One is a system for “Intent-based orchestration and optimization for 6G campus networks”. Additional information on this project can be found under the following link to the Hannover Messe.

The second is an Energy Saving (ES)-xApp/rApp, which was developed in close cooperation with partners such as AiVader, Keysight Technologies, the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS and exceeding-solutions. Further information can be found under this link.

More information about these and the other exhibits of the TU Ilmenau at the Hannover Messe can be found here.

 

New project: IntelliGn - Intelligent orchestration and management system for private 5G networks

The Integrated Communication Systems group at TU Ilmenau is working on the new project IntelliGn. Goal is to develop an intelligent orchestration and management system for private 5G networks that allows users, operators and application developers of these networks to install, configure, analyze and optimize them.

Research Areas and Infrastructure

 

Our research is focusing on the following areas:

  • Network management of 5G systems, esp. the coordination of SON use cases using machine learning
  • Radio resoure management, esp. for D2D communication in 5G
  • Prototyping of OpenRAN solutions based on SDRs
  • Copter-based UAVs, esp. for communication and localization purposes
  • Development of autonomous multi-UAV systems using digital twins
 

We operate the following labs to validate our research:
