Role of IoT and Edge Computing in addressing biodiversity and  environmental monitoring

AIOTI WG Agriculture published second release paper Role of IoT and Edge Computing in addressing biodiversity and environmental monitoring.

Biodiversity and the environment are key areas under the umbrella of the Green Deal. In particular, biodiversity/environment observation and understanding has been identified as key supporting element to fight climate change and achieve a sustainable economy, prosperous for all European citizens. Spurred by the EU Green Deal policy, a number of relevant monitoring initiatives are currently being launched at different scales, with ambitious objectives, towards the preservation of landscapes and biodiversity. After reviewing in Section 2 the most relevant initiatives for biodiversity and environment monitoring, the current paper focuses on the use of Internet of Things technologies for fulfilling the monitoring needs. Section 3 analyses the concept of IoT-based monitoring and presents four illustrative use cases in different fields, as well as a short list of commercial solutions. Based on the preliminary findings, Section 4 finally summarises the main gaps identified and provides recommendations on the way to go.

Recommendations:

1. Elaborate a list of requirements for the monitoring of biodiversity features (what and why should be measured).
2. Elaborate a mapping between biodiversity features and physical variables/parameters to be measured.
3. Analyse the match between monitoring requirements and available technology/solutions, with a clear indication of the maturity level (TRL). In particular, a stock-taking of commercial solutions should be performed.
4. Analyse rigorously the business case for biodiversity monitoring in order to facilitate the feasibility analysis of different monitoring approaches.
5. Connect the biodiversity monitoring initiatives and projects with the EU Green Deal and Agriculture data spaces, taking into account from the beginning the data standardisation aspects.

5G-PPP Test, Measurement and KPIs Validation Work Group published the White Paper

KPIs Measurement Tools – From KPI definition to KPI validation enablement

Abstract:
This white paper summarizes the 5G Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and the tools that have been identified and utilized in several ICT-17, ICT-19, and ICT-52 projects. In particular, the document lists the identified 5G KPIs, with a brief and unified description, mapping them also to the measurement operations. Then, the tools recognized in the different projects are presented, including open-source, ad-hoc developed and proprietary tools. Each tool is presented, highlighting the main functionalities and the list of KPIs that can be measured. Finally, the platforms for data collection and the tools for visualization are reported, highlighting their features and the availability of plugins/APIs to connect other tools/frameworks.

6G-IA Vision and Societal Challenges Working Group has released the White Paper 5G and Beyond 5G Ecosystem Business Modelling

Abstract:
This white paper describes approaches to business modelling in the context of 5G and beyond 5G ecosystems. It first explains how the disaggregated and modular 5G and beyond 5G technologies enable a dynamic business ecosystem with a higher number of interdependent actor roles, actors, and business relationships. This leads to the challenge to identify and design sustainable business models in a highly dynamic and complex business environment.  The white paper proposes a methodology composed of five steps for how to carry out business modelling, catering for the perspectives of all actors. The approach described in this white paper embraces existing insight from different analytic approaches such as the concepts of ecosystems, value networks, business and sustainability model canvassing, and the application thereof in many recent 5G projects. The projects, represented by their experts, serve as a source for inspiration and validate our stepwise model. In addition, contributors to the white paper have willingly shared insights from approaches they apply in their respective organizations. Finally, we present systematically how their business modelling is aligned with the five steps in our suggested approach.
