4. Projects
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
INOV contributed to the new survey about the best ways of reducing radiation from wireless telecommunication systems (WP2). Work is progressing on the EMF exposure metrics (WP2) and assessment of the exposure index (WP3), taking into account realistic environments (implementation of GBSCM). Concerning WP5, OPNET simulations on optimisation of locations for network topologies are going on. New working groups on cellular networks optimisation algorithms and heterogeneous networks cells access selection were defined.
MCN – http://www.mobile-cloud-networking.eu
INOV hosted the general project. INOV organised, together with PT-IS and ONESOURCE, the Workshop on Mobile Cloud Networking on the 19th June. It had a large attendance, and very good feedbacks were received. A workshop was co-organised by MCN, “Mobile Cloud Infrastructures and Services” at the EuCNC conference. The work within C-RAN is progressing, linking OpenAirInterface’s emulated LTE eNodeB with VRRM through MaaS and working on a D-ITG traffic generator for OAI.
NEWCOM# – http://www.newcom-project.eu
The cooperation with EURECOM around OpenAirInterface’s emulated LTE eNodeB is progressing. A resulting joint publication entitled “Challenges ahead of RAN virtualisation” was presented at the EuCNC conference. The joint publication with PUT on “MIMO Channel Analysis in the context of Body Area Networks” has been accepted to ISWCS’2014.
FAQTOS – http://www.faqtos.pt
The final ceremony for Prémio FAQtos 2014 will be held on July 5th. The 10 finalists will be able to present their work, and a jury will choose the winners. The preparation for the next edition of the contest is already ongoing.
