The expanding role of 5G—and the transition toward 6G—is transforming defense networks, spanning secure access through public cellular infrastructure to dedicated private systems that support fixed installations and portable, tactical deployments in the field.rnrnThis keynote will explore key technologies driving the next generation of resilient connectivity. Topics include massive MIMO advancements to support robust, high-capacity links; Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) for enhanced situational awareness and spectrum efficiency; and the symbiotic relationship between artificial intelligence and next-generation networks—both “AI for networks” to optimize performance, and “networks for AI” to enable distributed intelligence at the edge. We will highlight how these innovations converge to deliver secure, adaptive, and mission-ready 6G architectures capable of meeting the demanding needs of future defense and critical operations.rnrnu003cspan data-contrast=u0022autou0022u003eu003cemu003eBio:u003c/emu003e Mr. Vogelsang is responsible for leading the team that adapts Nokia Federal’s portfolio to meet the U.S. Government’s mission-critical needs.

We propose a resilient intent-based orchestration stack that compiles high-level service intents into verifiable, adaptive control across heterogeneous RAN/edge/cloud substrates. Our approach unifies (i) a Semantics-to-Intent Compiler via Policy-aware Intent Representation (PAIR) that binds policy, service-level objectives, and context into typed, conflict-aware intents; (ii) a neuro-symbolic event router that fuses learned predictors with rule-based guards for runtime adaptation; and (iii) a resilience-first orchestrator that co-optimizes availability, latency, and energy under faults and attacks. The design targets resilience key value indicators (KVIs) for 6G such as service continuity, failover time, intent satisfaction, and tail-risk under cascaded disturbances.u003c/spanu003eu003cspan data-ccp-props=u0022{}u0022u003e u003c/spanu003eu003c/tdu003ernu003c/tru003ernu003ctr aria-rowindex=u00222u0022u003ernu003ctd data-celllook=u00220u0022u003eu003ciu003eu003cspan data-contrast=u0022autou0022u003eTitleu003c/spanu003eu003c/iu003eu003cspan data-contrast=u0022autou0022u003e: u003c/spanu003eu003cbu003eu003cspan data-contrast=u0022autou0022u003e6G-Assisted Security Management of Data-Driven Civil Societyu003c/spanu003eu003c/bu003eu003cspan data-ccp-props=u0022{}u0022u003e u003c/spanu003ernrnu003ciu003eu003cspan data-contrast=u0022autou0022u003eAuthorsu003c/spanu003eu003c/iu003eu003cspan data-contrast=u0022autou0022u003e:u003c/spanu003eu003cspan data-contrast=u0022autou0022u003e Tarja Outila, Finnish Consulting Group, Finlandu003c/spanu003eu003cspan data-ccp-props=u0022{}u0022u003e u003c/spanu003ernrnu003cspan data-contrast=u0022autou0022u003eRisto Jurva, University of Oulu, Finlandu003c/spanu003eu003cspan data-ccp-props=u0022{}u0022u003e u003c/spanu003ernrnu003cspan data-contrast=u0022autou0022u003eTimo Bräysy, University of Oulu, Finlandu003c/spanu003eu003cspan data-ccp-props=u0022{}u0022u003e u003c/spanu003ernrnu003cspan data-contrast=u0022autou0022u003eLauri Lovén, University of Oulu, Finlandu003c/spanu003eu003cspan data-ccp-props=u0022{}u0022u003e u003c/spanu003ernrnu003cspan data-contrast=u0022autou0022u003eHannu Nikurautio, University of Oulu, Finlandu003c/spanu003eu003cspan data-ccp-props=u0022{}u0022u003e u003c/spanu003ernrnu003cspan data-contrast=u0022autou0022u003eHarri Antikainen, University of Oulu, Finlandu003c/spanu003eu003cspan data-ccp-props=u0022{}u0022u003e u003c/spanu003ernrnu003ciu003eu003cspan data-contrast=u0022autou0022u003eAbstractu003c/spanu003eu003c/iu003eu003cspan data-contrast=u0022autou0022u003e: Comprehensive security forms the basis for the resilience of societies. In the comprehensive security cooperating model, the vital functions of society are safeguarded through cooperation between the authorities, the business community, organizations and citizens in all circumstances and at all levels. The starting point is the arrangements and legislation of normal conditions. Preparedness reduces the likelihood of materializing threats and promotes society’s readiness to face them. The need for a response provides grounds for preparedness. The response minimizes the impact of realized threats and promotes the recovery of vital functions in society. Readiness for a response is created by preparation. Stakeholders of safety benefit also from digitalization and ICT technology has taken a significant role in the development of comprehensive security.

While both are recognized as fundamental design principles for 6G, their interaction remains underexplored. We propose a framework that identifies key dimensions and metrics of resilience and sustainability and maps their connections. The results show that their relationship is characterized by both trade-offs and complementarities: resilience aligns most strongly with social sustainability, interacts with economic sustainability through both costs and benefits, and predominantly creates trade-offs with environmental sustainability. These findings highlight the need for future 6G design to view resilience as an integral property of any networked system and to balance resilience considering survivability and recoverability with sustainability goals.u003c/spanu003eu003cspan data-ccp-props=u0022{}u0022u003e u003c/spanu003eu003c/tdu003ernu003c/tru003ernu003ctr aria-rowindex=u00227u0022u003ernu003ctd data-celllook=u00220u0022u003eu003cspan data-contrast=u0022autou0022u003eTitle: u003c/spanu003eu003cbu003eu003cspan data-contrast=u0022autou0022u003eMini-Scenarios for Analyzing Resilience Effects of Local 6G Networksu003c/spanu003eu003c/bu003eu003cspan data-ccp-props=u0022{}u0022u003e u003c/spanu003ernrnu003ciu003eu003cspan data-contrast=u0022autou0022u003eAuthors: u003c/spanu003eu003c/iu003eu003cspan data-contrast=u0022autou0022u003ePetri Ahokangas, University of Oulu, Finlandu003c/spanu003eu003cspan data-ccp-props=u0022{}u0022u003e u003c/spanu003ernrnu003cspan data-contrast=u0022autou0022u003eArturo Basaure, University of Oulu, Finlandu003c/spanu003eu003cspan data-ccp-props=u0022{}u0022u003e u003c/spanu003ernrnu003cspan data-contrast=u0022autou0022u003eSeppo Yrjölä, Nokia, Finland and University of Oulu, Finlandu003c/spanu003eu003cspan data-ccp-props=u0022{}u0022u003e u003c/spanu003ernrnu003cspan data-contrast=u0022autou0022u003eMarja Matinmikko-Blue, University of Oulu, Finlandu003c/spanu003eu003cspan data-ccp-props=u0022{}u0022u003e u003c/spanu003ernrnu003ciu003eu003cspan data-contrast=u0022autou0022u003eAbstract:u003c/spanu003eu003c/iu003eu003cspan data-contrast=u0022autou0022u003e This paper studies the resilience effects of local 6G networks from the 2030s onward in Europe.

Yet they might still fail when confronted with the unexpected. A resilient system is able to adapt to real-world complexity, including operating conditions completely unanticipated during system design. This makes resilience a vital attribute for communication systems that must sustain service in scenarios where models are absent or too intricate to provide statistical guarantees. Such considerations indicate that artificial intelligence (AI) will play a major role in delivering resilience. This talk examines the challenges of designing AIs for resilient radio access networks, highlighting the limitations of current statistical learning methods in the face of unanticipated and rare disruptions. This emphasizes that the journey toward truly resilient networks will extend well beyond the 6G era. Ultimately, building truly resilient networks will transcend the 6G era, calling for a paradigm shift in how we engineer AI for unpredictability.rnrnu003cemu003eBio: u003c/emu003eu003cspan data-markjs=u0022trueu0022u003eBhou003c/spanu003e Matthiesen is a senior researcher and lecturer at the Department of Communications Engineering, University of Bremen.
