CONET - Project

Project name:
Cooperating Objects Network of Excellence
Funding agency:
EU-funded project under ICT FP7, contract number: INFSO-ICT-224053
Content:
The CONET project focuses on building a strong research community in the domain of Cooperating Objects, a unifying concept that binds together the areas of embedded systems for robotics and control, pervasive computing and wireless sensor networks. Cooperating Objects are embedded computing devices equipped with communication as well as sensing or actuation capabilities that are able to cooperate and organize themselves autonomously into networks to achieve a common task.

In the context of the project, the TKN group is actively involved in promoting the concept of Cooperating Objects as effective method for addressing the challenges in fundamental research areas, like radio resource management and adaptation, as well as in application oriented tasks, like recognition of emotions using wireless sensor nodes.

TKN is also leading the development activities for the CONET Testbed Federation, a platform for federating Cooperating Object testbeds that facilitates cross-validation studies by enabling easy migration of experiments across the member testbeds

CELTIC MEVICO - project

Project name:
Mobile Networks EVolution for Individual COmmunications Experience
Funding agency:
Project under ICT FP7 CELTIC initiative, project number: CP07-011. The total funding of the international consortium is 15.6 M‚Ǩ. German partners of the MEVICO project are funded from the BMBF (project number: 01BU1010), with a grant totalling 3.24 M‚Ç
Content:
The MEVICO project focuses on the research of the network aspects of the 3GPP LTE-mobile broadband network for its evolution in the mid-term in 2011-2014. Traffic studies forecast an explosive traffic growth in 3GPP networks in the next years. The MEVICO project is developing appealing solutions to deal with the increase of traffic, both from mobile operator and user perspective, on the basis of Rel. 10. These innovative network concepts need to meet additional future requirements of the evolving mobile networks such as users' diversity of wireless access via different technologies as well as seamless handovers to support an acceptable QoE for users. Among these concepts, smart traffic management for the next generation of mobile networks is considered to be vitally importantand thus constitutes the main focus of the the German partners involved in MEVICO.

In the context of MEVICO project TKN is actively involved in developing new traffic management techniques, addressing the research challenges related to multipath usage of TCP, access technology reselection, stateless flow admission and cross-layer interference detection
Duration:
Project started on January 1st, 2011 and has a duration of 33 months

TREND - Projekt

Project name:
Towards Real Energy-efficient Network Design, Network of Excellence
Funding agency:
Seventh Framework Programme
Content:
TREND aims at integrating activities of major European operators, manufacturers and research centers in order to make energy-efficient networks a reality. Access and home networks, both wireless and wired, as well as core networks are considered. Collecting power consumption data, identification and development of energy-friendly technologies, devices, protocols and architectures are the key tasks of TREND.

TKN role in the project:
   1. Energy-efficient core network design
   2. Energy-efficient WLAN design
   3. Energy-aware handover in wireless access network

Duration:
01.09.2010 to 31.08.2013

TREND

COAST - Project

Project name:
COntent Aware Searching retrieval and sTreaming
Funding agency:
European Commission in the seventh framework program (FP7)
Content:
Content and role of TKN: Towards Future Internet age, the COAST project aims to build a FutureContent-Centric Network (FCN) overlay architecture able to intelligently and efficiently link billions of content sources to billions of content consumers, and offer fast content-aware retrieval, delivery and streaming, while meeting network-wide Service Level Agreements (SLAs) in content and services consumption. TKN is mainly involved in the work package 6 - Network Awareness & content delivery - and will develop techniques to provide the mobile end-user with a stable video quality. This will be achieved by the prediction of network connectivity and taking the respective actions

  • a) in the network, as for instance the selection of an appropriate access technology, and

  • b) in the suitable parameterization of a scalable video codec
 
Duration:
From February 2010 to July 2012
