The 6G Flagship’s fifteenth white paper defines resilience as a critical design objective that integrates reliability, security, and adaptability to ensure networks can withstand, recover from, and learn through disruptions. It proposes a cognitive loop where distributed intelligence, dense telemetry, and AI agents enable real-time anomaly detection, automatic rerouting, and self-healing capabilities that turn failures into system improvements. The framework advocates for modular, simplified architectures that allow isolated components to restart without collapsing the entire network, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and sustainability. By shifting focus from risk elimination to preparedness, this approach aims to secure the uninterrupted connectivity required for critical sectors like healthcare, transport, and energy in the 2030s.
