Objectives Validate introduction of Wireless Internet Based on IPv6 + GPRS and UMTS/3GPP Validate integration of these protocols In real application with whole testbeds Ensure implementations are generic Ensure testbeds not too tied to application Maintain international perspective 12/4/2018

Partners - Roles Red Internationals, Others very interested Operators: BT (UK), DT (DE), WORLDCOM (US) and NTT (JP) Suppliers: Ericsson (DK, SE, PL), 6WIND (FR) Research Organisations: CRC (CA), ETRI (KR), IABG (DE), TELSCOM (CH), VTT (FI), Universities: UCL (UK) - Co-ordinating Partner, RUS (DE), SOTON (UK), TZI(DE), UKT(DE), UMM (PL) Red Internationals, Others very interested 12/4/2018

Partners RUS 12/4/2018

Main Statistics Has not yet started. Should be 1/1/2001 Period 24 months - 2001/2002 EC Contribution - 3.4 MEuro EC Participants usual terms (including Poland) Canadian, Japanese, Korean, Swiss and US partners self-financed 12/4/2018

Topics Addressed Provision of Seamless Services Use Fixed and Wireless Transmission Wireless LAN and Cellular Complete End-to-End Services Both personal and terminal mobility Full range of IPv6 Facilities 12/4/2018

Focus of Wireless Testbeds Procedures for IPv6-2G-3G Nets Including IPv4/IPv6 network and application integration Investigate problems providing a trans-national wireless delivery service Early IPv6-ready applications testing Implement handsets and edge devices 12/4/2018

Testbed Aims Carry out in-depth applications in the clinical domain, in hospitals: Whittington (UK), Tubingen (DE), John Paul II (PL), U. of Basel (CH) Validate specific non-clinical apps Road Warrior, Seamless wandering, Streaming Media, Weather station access, M-commerce activities 12/4/2018

Specifically Not-Addressed Redefinition of air interface Technologies for the home like ADSL Re-definition of higher-level applications e.g. HTTP Development of complete applications Development of complete IPv6 Stacks WAP 12/4/2018

Ericsson Mobile Growth Estimate 12/4/2018

Motivation for Work IPv4 Will not suffice for Wireless Essential to move mobiles to IPv6 There are specific apps trials already None specifically for IPv6, mobile and complete system Many trial 3G systems coming 01-03 Few multivendor on operator and apps 12/4/2018

WANs for Testbed Sites Will use 6INIT, GEANT and IPv6 Networks of Operators internationally T-Mobil, BT-Cellnet et al. will provide GPRS and hopefully early UMTS Testbed sites will put in own WLANs Links to US and Asia under discussion 12/4/2018

Important Considerations What is needed for complete Wireless IPv6 systems demonstrators? What is needed to transition from here to there? IPv4 ==> IPv6 Transition GSM ==> GPRS ==> UMTS transition Properties of GPRS and UMTS facilities 12/4/2018

Collaboration with Others Expect to be strongly collaborative EC projects WINE, 6INIT and NGN Eurescom Armstrong, TF-GEANT IETF, ETSI, 3GPP and MWIF Expect to be very active in IETF Some CEN groups in medical informatics 12/4/2018

Generic Applications - I Road Warrior VPN Extended to mobile users Problems with security, accounting and addressing with dynamic addresses Seamless Wandering Resource and address discovery, navigation aids, content adaptation, location awareness 12/4/2018

Generic Applications - II Streaming media (MP3 etc) into GPRS and WCDMA with same servers as fixed Wireless connectivity to Weather Station Needs reliability, but mobile IPv6 attractive Various Mobile E-Commerce applications Security & mobile IP problems need solution Specific applications are envisaged 12/4/2018

Clinical Applications Exact applications will be identified during first few months, but may be: Remote Access to Haematology database for anticoagulant clinical management Ambulance to base communications including A/V and vital data Remote booking and reservation systems 12/4/2018

Gateways and Relays Edge routers - wireless enabled for GPRS, WLAN and some UMTS SIP Relays - IPv4/IPv6, SIP/H.323 WAP gateways - A little work 12/4/2018

Middleware Components Layered Codecs Text - Audio Servers Security including CAs and RAs Location Transparency Media and Browser tools in handsets Directory Services Base Configuration - Use/Enhance existing components e.g. IPSec, AAA 12/4/2018

Networks in Testbed Sites Will need to set up complete integrated systems in sites for clinical and generic applications Will be IPv6 WLAN for some purposes GPRS attached to IPv6 wired WANs UMTS when possible Must include components stated 12/4/2018

Final Thoughts Will be challenging & timely project Am sure that directions of project will change during its course The detailed solutions of the set-ups will be main benefit from the collaboration Will be challenge to have so many parties work together Should be worth it 12/4/2018
