REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE DESIGN PRINCIPLES Clause Samples

REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE DESIGN PRINCIPLES. The Reference Architecture of the 6G-SANDBOX facilities has been designed according to the extensive experience of the Consortium partners in previous H2020 research projects, including the EU Wireless [27], 5Genesis [28], and 5G-VINNI [29]. This previous experience has given the Consortium partners knowledge on the requirements and expectations for experimental platforms, as well as insights on solutions for the management of such systems. In addition to this experience, special emphasis has been placed in five key characteristics that improve the long-term support and continuous evolution of the 6G-SANDBOX facilities. These characteristics are Modularity, Openness, Reusability, Innovation, and Sustainability, which are reflected in the approach and architecture of 6G- SANDBOX as described in more detail below.
