LEXNET WP5 Meeting, London, UK
News about the several projects in which GROW is involved.
COST IC1004 – http://www.ic1004.org
Carla Oliveira and Michal Mackowiak prepared a contribution to the TWGB document on channel models for body area networks, to be discussed during the meeting in Ilmenau.
LEXNET – http://www.lexnet-project.eu
Daniel Sebastião and Carla Oliveira have been working on a contribution on ICT usage for the future development of scenarios. Moreover, all the team has been involved in the dissemination of the questionnaire on ICT usage. Carla Oliveira and Michal Mackowiak are working on the benchmark study to assess the simulations results among the different partners. Carla Oliveira and Daniel Sebastião are compiling an internal document on exposure assessment. Daniel Sebastião is working on simulations for the exposure reduction.
MCN – http://www.mobile-cloud-networking.eu
Lúcio Ferreira, Mónica Branco and Sina Khatibi are working on a motivation scenario and an architecture for the Wireless Cloud, integrating Cloud-RAN concepts, as well as on the Virtual RAN. These were presented at the Lisbon meeting. A wikipage on terminology was created, as well as one on state of the art reference papers related to C-RAN. A document answering performance issues on C-RAN was issued.
NEWCOM# – http://www.newcom-project.eu
Carla Oliveira and Michal Mackowiak had a telco with Poznan University of Technology, on their Joint Research Activities on Virtual MIMO applied in BANs. Preliminary results of simulations of channel path loss have been sent to the colleagues in Poznan.
