COST IC1004, 10th Management Committee and Scientific Meeting, Aalborg, Denmark, May 2014.
News about the several projects in which GROW is involved.
COST IC1004 – http://www.ic1004.org
Michal Mackowiak performed a Short Time Scientific Mission at Gdansk University of Technology in Poland. The objective of this mission was the measurement of off-body channels in indoor environment and assessment of previously developed propagation model. The contribution to the next meeting in Aalborg is being prepared.
LEXNET – http://www.lexnet-project.eu
In WP3, future work topics for T3.2 were presented in meeting in Paris. In WP5, the work is progressing with OPNET simulations.
MCN – http://www.mobile-cloud-networking.eu
Currently, the OpenAirInterface LTE emulator is being used to benchmark the virtualisation of base stations, by profiling the Virtual Machines’ computation resources dependency on traffic load and radio resources usage. In parallel, the work on two associated research topics, on (a) the management of virtual radio resources and (b) radio and cloud resources management, is progressing.
NEWCOM# – http://www.newcom-project.eu
The work with OpenAirInterface is progressing, the LTE emulator being used to benchmark the virtualisation of base stations, by profiling Virtual Machines’ computation resources dependency on traffic load and radio resources usage. The work on two associated research topics, on the management of virtual radio resources and radio and cloud resources management, is progressing. Contributions to project deliverables were edited, several deliverables having also been reviewed by Sina Khatibi and Lucio Ferreira. Two publications, entitled “An Architecture to offer Cloud-Based Radio Access Network as a Service” and “Challenges ahead of RAN virtualization” were accepted for the EUCNC conference.
FAQTOS – http://www.faqtos.pt
For the national contest, Prémio FAQtos, the next deadline is the delivery of the final report by May 12th. Preparations for the final ceremony are already ongoing.
