Network Orchestration for Metaverse Applications in 6G NetworksThe Ubiquitous Internet Research Unit of

IIT-CNR

(Pisa, Italy) is seeking

talented university graduates

for research opportunities.

We are currently collecting

expressions of interest

for the following research topic:Network Orchestration for Metaverse Applications in 6G Networks.

We plan to open positions at the level of

Graduate Research Assistant

in this area.

This scouting process aims to promote the topic in preparation of the upcoming call.

The position at IIT-CNR is expected to be formally announced soon, with activities starting in

April 2025

Ideal candidates should hold a

Master degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Telecommunications Engineering, or closely related disciplines.

Knowledge of

optimisation

approaches, and

AI/ML

(ML) techniques is an advantage.

Experience in network orchestration, network slicing, or architectures for immersive services is preferred but not required.

Topic descriptionEmerging cross-reality (XR) applications – including holography, augmented, virtual, and mixed reality – demand unprecedented levels of Quality of Experience (QoE), far exceeding current capabilities

.

6G

technologies and enablers such as xURLLC, NFV, native

Network Intelligence

, promise to meet these stringent QoE requirements, delivering

ultra-reliable

,

low-latency

communication services

.

However, as network complexity escalates, it becomes essential to design

automated network and resource orchestration

methods to optimise network performance proactively and adaptively across the entire end-to-end network architecture, ensuring alignment with the target KPIs. This research aims to design and develop new AI/ML models, optimisation methods and scheduling algorithms for

network orchestrators and controllers in future 6G networks

to

support emerging XR applications

over heterogeneous domains and complex network scenarios without a globally synchronised system.

If you are interested in this research opportunity, we encourage you to express your interest.

Further details will be provided once the official call is announced.
