Barkhausen Institut contributes by developing Radio Frequency Antennas for automotive radars and focusing on integration of the mmWave antennas into radar chipsets.
01.01.2023 | Hexa-X-II: Secure 6G Communication for the Future
Barkhausen Institut in the Hexa-X-II Project: Secure 6G Communication for the Future
As part of the Hexa-X-II project, the Barkhausen Institut is developing security solutions for the next generation of 6G communication. The focus is on physical layer security, data privacy for mission-critical communication, and automated security decisions. With these approaches, the institute is strengthening the trustworthiness and efficiency of future 6G networks.
31.12.2022 | 6G-ReS: Secure and resilient 5G/6G systems
6G-ReS project focuses on developing resilient 5G/6G systems for crisis communication. Using the O-RAN standard, open interfaces and 'zero trust' security can be ensured, enabling robust communication in the face of targeted attacks and natural disasters. BI investigates the O-Ran standard for the Radio Access Network (RAN, which relies on the use of virtualization and promotes open interfaces and interoperability.
15.11.2022 | KOMSENS-6G
The goal of KOMSENS-6G is to add another core functionality to the 6th generation (6G) mobile communications system: radio sensing. BI will develop radio frequency hardware for Joint Communication and Sensing and will also focus on security and privacy of such systems.
01.11.2022 | M/EDGE -Secure Low-Power Medical Edge Computing
Modern medical devices increasingly contain microchips, often located in the immediate vicinity of or even inside the patient's body over a longer period of time. In the M/EDGE project, energy-saving and miniaturized computing technology will be developed for use in and on patients. It also aims at finding solutions to connect medical products to a medical cloud while being energy-efficient.
01.11.2022 | CampuSens – Research for secure and trustworthy 6G Networks
The novel sensory capabilities of next generation 6G mobile communications bring with them certain risks in the area of security and privacy. The Barkhausen Institut is researching a security concept that will enable a trustworthy implementation.
01.10.2022 | 6G-ICAS4Mobility - Combining communication and radar?
The aim of ICAS4Mobility is to combine communication and radar and integrate them into a common system for the future 6G mobile communications standard. Barkhausen Institut is investigating privacy aspects and options for securing captured sensor data against manipulations.
01.08.2022 | FOSSIL: Operating system support to exploit the benefits of non-volatile main memory
In the recent past, there has been important progress in the production-ready implementation of non-volatile memory. The FOSSIL project focuses on making the advantages of non-volatile memory also usable for applications.
01.10.2021 | 6G Platform
6G is already the sixth generation of mobile communications. The Barkhausen Institut participates in the research and development of 6G by being part of the 6G Platform project. Within the project, the BI conducts research on trustworthiness issues and designs new formats of science communication.
25.08.2021 | Climate Change in Historic Gardens
The impacts of climate change can already be observed today and require proactive and determined action on the part of our society. Under the direction of the Staatliche Schlösser, Burgen und Gärten gGmbH, the Barkhausen Institut is working to support and relieve the gardeners in the Pillnitz Palace Garden, by developing a semi-autonomous robot to facilitate the watering of the plants.
