Book ‘Shaping Future 6G Networks’ is published (Wiley, IEEE Press)
E. Bertin, N. Crespi, T. Magedanz, ‘Shaping Future 6G Networks: Needs, Impacts, and Technologies‘, Wiley, IEEE Press.
Discover the societal and technology drivers contributing to build the next generation of wireless telecommunication networks
Shaping Future 6G Networks: Needs, Impacts, and Technologies is a holistic snapshot on the evolution of 5G technologies towards 6G. With contributions from international key players in industry and academia, the book presents the hype versus the realistic capabilities of 6G technologies, and delivers cutting-edge business and technological insights into the future wireless telecommunications landscape.
You’ll learn about:
- Forthcoming demand for post 5G networks, including new requirements coming from small and large businesses, manufacturing, logistics, and automotive industry
- Societal implications of 6G, including digital sustainability, strategies for increasing energy efficiency, as well as future open networking ecosystems
- Impacts of integrating non-terrestrial networks to build the 6G architecture
- Opportunities for emerging THz radio access technologies in future integrated communications, positioning, and sensing capabilities in 6G
- Design of highly modular and distributed 6G core networks driven by the ongoing RAN-Core integration and the benefits of AI/ML-based control and management
- Disruptive architectural considerations influenced by the Post-Shannon Theory
The insights in Shaping Future 6G Networks will greatly benefit IT engineers and managers focused on the future of networking, as well as undergraduate and graduate engineering students focusing on the design, implementation, and management of mobile networks and applications.

Book: “Networks and New Services: A Complete Story,” Springer International Publishing, 2017.
This book shines a beam of light towards software-centric networks and their emerging service environments. The authors examine the road ahead for connectivity, for both human and ‘things’, considering the rapid changes that have already shaken the industry. Whether we are witnessing technology consolidation or crucial transformation, one thing is clear – the future communication environment will be fundamentally different from what we experience today.
The book analyses major catalytic shifts that are shaping the communications world through Softwarization, virtualization, and Cloud Computing. It guides the reader through a maze of possible architectural choices, driven by discriminating, maybe conflicting business considerations. In this vision, software assumes a definitive role, where ICT capabilities continue to generate ever-smarter environments.
The new ICT ecosystems would enable entirely new paradigm, where applications are backed up by shared networking facilities, instead of networks that support their own applications. The growing user awareness is a key driver towards this paradigm, and this will accelerate the softwarization process.
Softwarization disrupts the current status quo at equipment level, development, network installation, network management, operations and business, and radically changes the value chain and the involved stakeholders. The dilemma is between a ‘slow burn’ traditional step-by-step approach, and the bold transformation of the whole infrastructure, while reconsidering adoption of new business roles. This book is essential reading for those seeking to build such communication networks that support independent agile and smart applications and provide real benefits to users, in all walks of life.

Book, Hemes-Lavoisier Eds: “Architecture et Gouvernance des Services de Communication”
Les ruptures technologiques, de marché, d’usages, nous obligent à repenser nos façons de décrire les architectures de service de communication. Si la description des architectures de réseau est relativement claire, reposant sur les acquis de décennies de standardisation, la description des architectures de service est moins nettement définie.
Cet ouvrage propose un cadre général pour mieux comprendre et décrire les architectures de service. Il expose les méthodes existantes dans les communautés télécom, Web et IT et dresse un panorama des services de communication. Il décrit les impacts des évolutions en cours, en les inscrivant dans celles plus générales du secteur des services. Il propose ensuite des invariants pour formaliser les architectures des services de communication à travers 3 vues de référence (une vue métier, une vue fonctionnelle, une vue technique), puis illustre leur utilisation par de nombreux exemples.

Book, Wiley Eds: Architecture and Governance for Communication Services
This book provides a detailed overview on service architecture in the Telco, web, and IT words, proposing a general framework for better defining and describing communication service architectures. It formalizes these architectures by using a syntax and a semantics common to different services, while responding to recurring questions about service design. The latter include the identification of the functional area of enablers or SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) services, the relevance of service compositions to the user, and the collaboration between different services in a converging environment.

Collaborative paper wins Best Presentation Award at ICIN 2012
The ICIN conference that took place on October 8-11 in Berlin, Germany has selected A. Manzalini (Telecom Italia), N. Crespi, Vânia Gonçalves (IBBT-SMIT) and R. Minerva (Telecom Italia)’s paper entitled “Towards Halos Networks: Ubiquitous Networking and Computing At the Edge” for its Best Presentation Award (congratulations to Antonio!).
The topic of the conference is Enabling the Internet of Everything.The playful pun on the “Internet of Things” has been intentional: In the four days of the conference we will have selected industry and academe presentations – with expected intense discussions – on a comprehensive and diversified range of subjects from the advantages of cloud computing for telecommunications providers, to service enablement, to policy and identity management, to M2M communications (aka the “Internet of Things”). As before, this year’s topics cover both technical and business issues.
