4. Projects
News about the several projects in which GROW is involved.
COST IC1004 – http://www.ic1004.org
Michal Mackowiak, Lúcio Ferreira and Sina Khatibi have presented their work at the meeting in Ferrara, Italy.
LEXNET – http://www.lexnet-project.eu
A report on SAR simulations for Duke and Eartha voxel models, with different body postures in LTE and 3G, is being prepared within WP2 by Michal Mackowiack. A contribution to deliverable D3.2 “Wideband dosimeter design study & performances characterisation”, with simulations for body influence on dosimeter performance, has been circulated by Michal Mackowiack. Simulator setup and initial simulations are being performed on network topologies within WP5 by Daniel Sebastião.
MCN – http://www.mobile-cloud-networking.eu
The work on the management of virtual radio resources and radio and cloud resources management, is progressing. In particular, special attention is being paid to the profiling of computation resources dependency on traffic load and radio resources usage.
NEWCOM# – http://www.newcom-project.eu
Initial results for the JRA on Virtual MIMO in Body Area Networks are being analysed together with PUT. Within WP2.3, a cooperative activity with EURECOM is addressing the use of OpenAirInterface for the profiling of computation resources of software-based LTE base-stations, for various traffic loads and radio resources usage.
FAQTOS – http://www.faqtos.pt
The FAQtos team was present in two schools, at Arouca and Alijó, where information actions were done on exposure to EMFs and how mobile communication systems work. More of these actions are scheduled for the coming months. The team did also a series of presentations on “Mobile Phones – Myths and Facts” in a collaboration with PT Comunicações, held on Lisbon, Porto and Aveiro.
