3 1st Year Deliverables

4 Already delivered: D1 and D2 D1 (CNR) : comments on the web site We think to add for each partner the names of people involved (also s?) Suggestions/requests D2 (CNR) : contains the first year success criteria A project presentation report has also been prepared

A paragraph to describe the type of interest (NIC, middleware, etc.)

6 D4(SUPSI DIE) - intermediate evaluation report and Success Criteria MobileMAN architecture definition Definition of the complete MobileMAN architecture with the communication flows among different activities and the integration of vertical issues as co-operation and energy awareness. Socio-economic Model To develop a methodology for evaluating social, anthropological, and economic potential of MobileMAN. New applications and services Identification of existing applications (or classes of applications) that can become a customer advantage, when run on top of MobileMAN, compared to traditional technologies. Define the services that we need to provide for efficiently supporting some of these (classes of) applications.

7 Middleware Comparative analysis of existing middleware solutions for mobile environment (Xmiddle, Jxta, Lime, etc.). The aim of this comparison is the identification of the best solution(s) for the MobileMAN environment. Definition of new solutions for P2P information delivery: This will be done by selecting some of the resilient mechanisms that have emerged in the p2p community (such as CAN, Chord, Pastry, etc.), and then introducing location information and scope information so that content is initially placed and requests are routed to copies that have proximity on a number of QoS axes. D4(SUPSI DIE) - intermediate evaluation report and Success Criteria

8 Co-operation Model Design of models and mechanisms that encourage users to behave as “good citizens”. Networking services Design of location and packet forwarding schemes suitable for MobileMAN. Comparison of routing protocols for ad hoc networks utilizing simulation studies, and, whenever possible, measurements on real testbeds. Development and testing of a few hops ad hoc network implementing a minimal set of functionalities (routing, forwarding, and location). D4(SUPSI DIE) - intermediate evaluation report and Success Criteria

9 Wireless Technologies Analysis of the limits of the existing solutions (based on IEEE ) for constructing multi hop ad hoc networks. The analysis is performed by simulation and measurements; Design of an enhanced MAC protocol for ad hoc networks. The new MAC protocol must be compatible with the IEEE and provide a better channel utilization; Comparative analysis of existing chipsets to identify the best solution for implementing the MobileMAN enhanced NIC. D4(SUPSI DIE) - intermediate evaluation report and Success Criteria

10 Deliverable D5 (Eurecom) “ In this work-package we will perform the MobileMAN architecture definition with the communication flows among different activities and the integration of vertical issues. In addition, this worpackage will be responsible of the design the networking protocols required to implement the MobileMAN architecture (MAC protocol, location and forwarding protocols, security and co-operation). The developed technical solutions will be immediately validated (before they are implemented) by adopting simulative and analytic techniques (as appropriate).” D5: MobileMAN architecture, protocols and services - preliminary report D5 has asoociated a high man power: 32 mm D5 is the Main Output of WP2 “Domain Modelling”:
