5G cam­pus net­works are one of the big­gest in­no­va­tions and dis­rup­ti­ve achie­ve­ments of the last five ye­ars in terms of rea­li­zing re­li­able wire­less com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on sy­stems for in­du­stry and go­vernment faci­li­ties. Buil­ding on this de­ve­lo­p­ment, 6G cam­pus net­works will im­pro­ve all aspects of 5G cam­pus net­works by up to a hund­red­fold. In ad­di­ti­on, 6G cam­pus net­works also ex­pand the func­tio­n­al pro­fi­le of 5G cam­pus net­works with a va­rie­ty of key tech­no­lo­gies, such as real-time ca­pa­bi­li­ty, in­te­gra­ted ra­dar, AI/ML and the abi­li­ty to form sub­net­works. So, as fu­ture ge­nera­ti­on cam­pus net­works ex­pand their pro­fi­le of key func­tio­n­a­li­ties, the­se cam­pus net­works should also have a high le­vel of se­cu­ri­ty to pro­tect this ex­pan­si­on of func­tio­n­a­li­ties and as­su­re the per­for­mance of cam­pus net­works.  

The aim of 6G-Cam­pu­Sens is the se­cu­re in­te­gra­ti­on of 6G cam­pus net­works, which in­clu­de the key func­tion of Joint-Com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on-and-Sen­sing (JCAS), into in­du­stri­al pro­ces­ses. AIN is the­re­fo­re not only in­vol­ved in the de­ve­lo­p­ment, eva­lua­ti­on and te­sting of the tech­no­lo­gi­cal im­ple­men­ta­ti­on of the pro­ject, but abo­ve all in the de­ve­lo­p­ment of the over­all se­cu­ri­ty ar­chi­tec­tu­re of 6G cam­pus net­works. This in­clu­des not only the 6G cam­pus net­work its­elf, but also users, ap­p­li­ca­ti­ons and pos­si­ble ad­di­tio­nal se­cu­ri­ty func­tions, such as mo­ni­to­ring and phy­si­cal lay­er se­cu­ri­ty (PLS). AIN can draw on the know­ledge of stu­dies and pu­bli­ca­ti­ons, such as the “Open-RAN Risk Ana­ly­sis” for the BSI.  

 AIN is also si­gni­fi­cant­ly in­vol­ved in the crea­ti­on and im­ple­men­ta­ti­on of test spe­ci­fi­ca­ti­ons in or­der to eva­lua­te the pro­of-of-con­cepts re­se­ar­ched in 6G-Cam­pu­Sens. For this pur­po­se, ac­ti­ve and pas­si­ve mea­su­re­ments of the de­ve­lo­ped con­cepts are car­ri­ed out in va­rious 5G cam­pus net­works using pro­cess ma­nu­als crea­ted by the know­ledge base AIN has built up. In this sen­se AIN has al­rea­dy plan­ned the set­up for many 5G cam­pus net­works, for ex­amp­le at BASF and en­su­red func­tio­n­a­li­ty and re­lia­bi­li­ty through mea­su­re­ments and ad­just­ments.
