News about the several projects in which GROW is involved.
COST IC1004 – http://www.ic1004.org
Contributions are being prepared for the next meeting.
LEXNET – http://www.lexnet-project.eu
Daniel Sebastião is leading the work on cluster #4 for WP5, and is progressing the work on simulations using OPNET. Michal Mackowiak has performed the initial simulations for the Eartha DATA posture in 3G/4G scenarios (WP2), as well as on numerical simulations with the simplified dosimeter model (WP3). Contribution to various deliverables has been done, namely D2.3 (“Scenarios”), D2.4 (“Global Wireless Exposure Metric Definition”) and D3.1 (“Exposure Index Assessment v1”). The first newsletter issue is now available in the LEXNET website, prepared by Filipe Cardoso. The preparation of LEXNET convened session at EuCAP’2014 by Filipe Cardoso is ongoing.
MCN – http://www.mobile-cloud-networking.eu
Lúcio Ferreira, Sina Khatibi and Mónica Branco contributed and reviewed deliverables D3.1 “Infrastructure Management Foundations – Specifications & Design for MobileCloud framework” of WP3, and D2.2 “Overall Architecture Definition, Release 1” of WP2. There was also a contribution to D4.1 “Mobile Network Cloud Component Design” of WP4, addressing the RAN as a Service (RANaaS). The work on the development of the model on management of virtual radio resources and model for load balancing between RRHs and BBUs is progressing.
NEWCOM# – http://www.newcom-project.eu
Contribution to various deliverables has been done, namely D11.1 (“Fundamental issues on energy- and bandwidth-efficient communications and networking”), D13.1 (“Fundamental issues on the performance of wireless networks and related results”) and D23.2 (“First report on tools and their integration on the experimental setups”), by Michal Mackowiack, Carla Oliveira, Lúcio Ferreira, Luisa Caeiro and Sina Khatibi. Moreover, the review of several deliverables from Track 3 has been performed by Luis M. Correia.
FAQTOS – http://www.faqtos.pt
FAQtos is a new project, 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. A new contest to the secondary schools pupils is also being prepared, to be launched in November.
