The EWOC project (Enabling Virtualized Wireless and Optical Coexistence for 5G and Beyond) focuses on the convergence of optical and wireless communications through virtualization, aiming to enable the coexistence of both technologies in 5G networks and beyond. The project’s main goal is to enhance the efficiency and capacity of telecommunications infrastructures by providing innovative solutions to optimally integrate optical and wireless networks, which is crucial for meeting the increasing demand for bandwidth and connectivity in the future communication environment.
Through research and the development of new algorithms, protocols, and network architectures, EWOC aims to advance the integration of optical transmission technologies and wireless networks in a virtualized environment, allowing for flexible, scalable, and efficient use of network resources. This approach will enable telecom operators and tech companies to make the most of both existing and future infrastructures.
The project addresses not only the technical aspects but also the practical applications and feasibility of these solutions in real-world operational environments, improving the performance and reliability of communication networks to meet the needs of the next decades.
