4. Projects
News about the several projects in which GROW is involved.
COST IC1004 – http://www.ic1004.org
Carla Oliveira, Michal Mackowiak, Lúcio Ferreira and Luis M. Correia prepared contributions to the White Paper on Mobile Communications Beyond 4G.
LEXNET – http://www.lexnet-project.eu
Work has been progressing on simulations for exposure reduction (WP5), as well as on numerical simulations with the simplified dosimeter model (WP3). INOV was assigned to perform simulations for the Eartha data posture in 3G/4G scenarios (WP2). Carla presented the project in one of the poster sessions of FUNEMS’2013.
MCN – http://www.mobile-cloud-networking.eu
Lúcio Ferreira presented the work from T3.5 “Cloud-based RAN challenges” in the workshop organised by MCN “RAN Evolution to the Cloud Workshop”. This work was also presented at FuNeMS’2013. Lúcio Ferreira, Mónica Branco and Sina Khatibi are currently working towards the contribution to Deliverable D3.1 “Infrastructure Management Foundations – Specifications & Design for Mobile Cloud Framework”, addressing the C-RAN architecture.
NEWCOM# – http://www.newcom-project.eu
Carla Oliveira and Michal Mackowiak send their contribution to Deliverable D13.1 “Fundamental issues on energy- and bandwidth efficient communications and networking”, including current status of their JRA on Virtual MIMO applied in BANs.
FAQTOS
FAQTOs is a new project, just started, which continues the work performed in the monIT project, on risk communication to EMFs from wireless networks. All the project information and its website are being prepared, and will be available soon.
