The BRAVE research project ended on November 30, 2021, after nearly four years dedicated to the exploration, optimization and demonstration of a new physical layer for ultra-broadband beyond-5G or 6G technologies in the sub-THz frequency bands. BRAVE partners are SIRADEL (service & software solution provider), CEA-Leti (research institute), Centrale-Supélec (engineering school), and ANFR (spectrum regulator).…

Release of Deliverable D1.2: Final regulation status, Scenarios, and Requirements updates, Nov. 2019. Enhanced or new wireless broadband applications will be enabled by the exploitation of sub-THz frequencies between 90 GHz and 300 GHz, arising with next 6G mobile network generation. Three main use case families are targeted: high-capacity backhaul; enhanced short-range hotspot; and device-to…

The main BRAVE results for the modeling, characterization and optimization of the PHY layer of future 6G subTHz communications were presented on September 28th 2021, at CentraleSupélec (Rennes) in front of an audience of about 40 people (partly on site, partly remote). Launched in January 2018, the ANR-BRAVE project will be completed soon, after a…

This technical document gives complementary results to deliverable D2.1, regarding the definition and test of innovative energy-efficient sub-THz modulation schemes (index modulation in the filter domain). In the previous deliverable D2.1, we investigated the spatial Index Modulation (IM) domain and mainly Generalized Spatial Modulation (GSM)-based schemes to achieve low-power ultra-high wireless rates in sub-THz bands.…

Sub-Terahertz (sub-THz) and Terahertz (THz) technologies, which are often referred as beyond-5G communication, are today attracting a great interest from both academia and industry. The transmission of information in the spectrum above 90GHz, up to 300GHz allows the use of huge bandwidths, from ones to tens of GHz. As the millimetre-wave communication systems will become…

Majed Saad defended his PhD thesis on Tuesday, December 15 at CentraleSupélec. The research leading to these results received funding from the French National Research Agency (ANR-17-CE25-0013) within the frame of the BRAVE project, CentraleSupélec, Lebanese International University (LIU), and Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS)-France. Wireless Terabits per second (Tbps) link is needed…

Simon Bicaïs defended his PhD thesis on Thursday, November 12 at the CEA-Leti. Part of the work was founded by the ANR-Brave project. Slides are available here. To deploy high-rate wireless services, future communication networks envisage the use of wide frequency bands. Still, the usual frequency bands in the sub-6 GHz spectrum are extremely limited…
