An Artificial Intelligent Aided Unified Network for Secure Beyond 5G Long Term Evolution
The NANCY project aims to develop a secure, intelligent and energy-efficient architecture for Beyond 5G (B5G) wireless networks. By combining artificial intelligence, blockchain and advanced networking technologies, the project addresses key challenges related to network security, privacy, resource management and reliable connectivity.
NANCY develops solutions for intelligent network orchestration, dynamic resource allocation, secure data exchange and self-healing network mechanisms. Its approach also integrates explainable AI to improve the transparency of automated network decisions, alongside edge computing technologies to support low-latency applications. The project's solutions are validated through laboratory and outdoor demonstrations, exploring their potential to improve the performance, resilience and security of future wireless communication networks.
MetaMind Innovations (MINDS) contributes to the NANCY project through its expertise in artificial intelligence, network security and performance evaluation. As leader of Task 5.5 – Enabling Explainable AI Functionalities under WP5, MINDS leads the development of the NANCY Explainable AI Toolbox, designed to make AI-driven network management decisions more transparent and understandable to network operators. This work focuses on explaining AI-based self-healing and recovery processes and supporting trustworthy network operations.
MINDS also contributes to WP2 through network requirements analysis, simulations and performance evaluation, and participates in WP5 activities related to anomaly detection and self-healing mechanisms. In addition, the company supports system validation through the Greek laboratory and outdoor testbeds under WP6, while contributing to technical, innovation and risk management activities under WP1. Through these activities, MINDS helps strengthen the transparency, security and reliability of the NANCY network architecture.
