Techtile – Open 6G R D Testbed for Communication, Positioning, Sensing, WPT and Federated Learning
arxiv(2022)
Abstract
New concepts for next-generation wireless systems are being developed. It is
expected that these 6G and beyond systems will incorporate more than only
communication, but also sensing, positioning, (deep) edge computing, and other
services. The discussed measurement facility and approach, named Techtile, is
an open, both in design and operation, and unique testbed to evaluate these
newly envisioned systems. Techtile is a multi-functional and versatile testbed,
providing fine-grained distributed resources for new communication, positioning
and sensing technologies. The facility enables experimental research on
hyper-connected interactive environments and validation of new algorithms and
topologies. The backbone connects 140 resource units equipped with edge
computing devices, software-defined radios, sensors, and LED sources. By doing
so, different network topologies and local-versus-central computing can be
assessed. The introduced diversity of i) the technologies (e.g., RF, acoustics
and light), ii) the distributed resources and iii) the interconnectivity allows
exploring more degrees and new types of diversity, which can be investigated in
this testbed.
