This report analyzes sustainability and key performance metrics of technologies for future 6G networks, indicating their environmental and economic potential.
This deliverable presents an advanced qualitative sustainability assessment (i.e. likely effect on a series of first order effects) and a first quantitative analysis (i.e. through quantitative Key Performance Indicators) of a set of 16 total technologies denoted as technology enablers or Research and Innovation topics. These topics cover all the network functional segments (i.e., user devices, Radio Access Network, Edge, Transport, Core, Cloud) and have the potential to guarantee sustainable 6G future communication networks in terms of environmental, social and economic perspective.
