COREnext final countdown!
30.09.2025 | corenext.eu
In this edition, we are pleased to share highlights of the COREnext project’s active participation at European Microwave Week (EuMW) 2025, where our partners contributed through workshops, demonstrations, and scientific exchanges that underline the project’s commitment to advancing high-frequency communication and computing technologies.
Alongside these event activities, we also feature a selection of recent scientific publications from our consortium members. These works span topics from secure execution environments and mobile network evolution to adaptive processing for non-terrestrial communication and scalable synchronisation in manycore systems. Together, they reflect the breadth of COREnext research and its relevance to next-generation digital infrastructures.
This collection of activities and contributions demonstrates how COREnext partners are advancing, at the last stage of the project, both the scientific foundations and practical solutions needed for the future of secure, adaptive, and high-performance communication systems.

"An Architecture for Shrinking the TCB of TEEs on Heterogeneous Systems" by Nils Assmusen and Carsten Weinhold from Barkhausen Institut
The paper introduces a TEE architecture that reduces dependency on complex or closed firmware and supports heterogeneous systems with minimal hardware support. It also outlines a minimal Root-of-Trust enabling features such as remote attestation. This contribution supports ongoing efforts in developing more secure and efficient environments.

COREnext believes that trustworthiness needs to be a native part of 6G as anticipated applications will merge the digital and physical worlds. The goal of the project is to strengthen the mobile communication ecosystem in Europe by addressing key challenges associated with beyond 5G use cases. Activities stretch from radio hardware innovation to compute architectures – with trustworthiness in focus.

"The Evolution of Mobile Network Operations: A Comprehensive Analysis of Open RAN Adoption"
One of the COREnext publication explores the evolving landscape of mobile network operations through the lens of Open RAN adoption. The paper offers a detailed overview of O-RAN technologies, design choices, implementation and strategies, supporting MNOs in navigating this shift toward more open, modular network architectures.
"Towards adaptive RISC-V based systems for non terrestrial sub-THz communication," co authored by our partner Markus Ulbricht from IHP
The forthcoming 6G communication standard is expected to deliver unparalleled connectivity, from the most remote regions to densely populated areas and even low Earth orbit. However, bringing this vision to reality demands advancements in significant processing hardware, especially for use in space. This paper explores how adaptive, open-source, RISC-V-based systems can help meet these challenges by enabling fault tolerance, reliability, and adaptability in non-terrestrial 6G applications.
“LRSCwait: Enabling Scalable and Efficient Synchronization in Manycore Systems through Polling-Free and Retry-Free Operation”
We’re pleased to highlight the latest contribution from the COREnext project: “LRSCwait: Scalable Synchronization and in Enabling Efficient Manycore Systems through Polling-Free and Retry-Free Operation” by our Partner- Samuel Riedel from ETH Zürich, and Marc Gantenbein, Alessandro Ottaviano, Torsten Hoefler, and Luca Benini.
What’s new?
>Introduces LRwait and SCwait, a synchronization pair that eliminates polling by allowing contending cores to sleep instead of retrying.
>Presents Colibri, a distributed and scalable LRwait implementation.
>Benchmarked on a 256-core open source RISC-V platform.
CORENEXT is an EU-funded initiative that will bring together expert stakeholders in future mobile networks and integrate their perspectives in key focus areas like digital, analogue, and integrated solutions for computing, communication, and sensing.
