F. Granelli, WORLD Kickoff, Oct. 17th, 2009 UniTN Focus in WORLD Goals: Cross-layer performance optimization Development of the WORLD wireless 4G testbed Duties and Activities: WP Leader WP5 Cross-Layer Wireless Multimedia and Active QoS Mapping WP7 Field Trials and Testbed Involved in WP1, WP2, WP4, WP6

Dipartimento di Ingegneria e Scienza dellinformazione F. Granelli, WORLD Kickoff, Oct. 17th, 2009 UniTN Tasks WP1: T1.2 WORLD System Plan (M6) T1.3 WORLD System Refinements (M9) UniTN will provide input on the related deliverables WP2: T2.4 Opportunistic Multi-Antenna Beamforming and Multiple- Access Interference Mitigation (PHASE II)

Dipartimento di Ingegneria e Scienza dellinformazione UniTN Tasks WP2 – T2.4 Smart Antennas Main Goals: Steer the main lobe along the Direction of Arrival (DoA) of the desired signal Place the nulls along the DoAs of the interferences Smart Antenna Interfering Signal Desired Signal Switched-beam Fully-adaptive Cost and Complexity Reconfigurability Cost and Complexity Reconfigurability Continuous Beam and Nulls Steering Discrete Beam and Nulls Steering Increase the Signal-to-Interference- plus-Noise Ratio (SINR) F.

Dipartimento di Ingegneria e Scienza dellinformazione F. Granelli, WORLD Kickoff, Oct. 17th, 2009 UniTN Tasks WP4: T4.3 Competitive Routing Supporting QoS (PHASE II) To optimize WLAN performance by introducing competitive multihop routing in architectures supported by multi-antenna technology platforms

Dipartimento di Ingegneria e Scienza dellinformazione F. Granelli, WORLD Kickoff, Oct. 17th, 2009 UniTN Tasks WP4: T4.7 Network-Adaptive and Media-Aware Transport Mechanisms and Protocols Under E2E QoS Constraints (PHASE II+III) WP5 Cross-Layer Wireless Multimedia and Active QoS Mapping (UniTN): T5.1 Content- and Context-Aware Vertical QoS Mapping (M13) To define and analyze an efficient context-aware dynamic resource allocation scheme

Dipartimento di Ingegneria e Scienza dellinformazione F. Granelli, WORLD Kickoff, Oct. 17th, 2009 UniTN Tasks T5.1 Content- and Context-Aware Vertical QoS Mapping (contd) Service-Aware and Context-Aware HARQ Tuning Context-Aware Retry Limit Adaptation

Dipartimento di Ingegneria e Scienza dellinformazione F. Granelli, WORLD Kickoff, Oct. 17th, 2009 UniTN Tasks WP5: T5.3 Game Theory Based Distributed Radio Resource Management (PHASE II) T5.4 Opportunistic Exploitation of Path-Diversity for Media Streaming (PHASE II) Ad-Hoc Wireless Distribution System L2 OLSR

Dipartimento di Ingegneria e Scienza dellinformazione F. Granelli, WORLD Kickoff, Oct. 17th, 2009 UniTN Tasks WP6: T6.4 Multimedia P2P WLAN Connections (PHASE II) To analyze QoS requirements of multimedia streaming traffic To derive guidelines in application-level (i.e. codec) and network-level (i.e. DiffServ classes, resource reservation) parameters setting Cognitive Configuration Server

Dipartimento di Ingegneria e Scienza dellinformazione F. Granelli, WORLD Kickoff, Oct. 17th, 2009 UniTN Tasks WP7 Field Trials and Testbed (UniTN) T7.1 WORLD Solution Integration (PHASE II+III) T7.2 Testbed (PHASE II+III) T7.3 Trials (PHASE III)

Dipartimento di Ingegneria e Scienza dellinformazione F. Granelli, WORLD Kickoff, Oct. 17th, 2009 The WORLD Testbed To provide a real network to implement the (selected) research products of the WORLD project + we can seize the existing WOMEN testbed + UniTN is going to have access to a regional-wide optical + wireless facility (WOTBL) - not all solutions will be suitable for integration (feasibility check) - WOTBL delivery plan still under finalization

Dipartimento di Ingegneria e Scienza dellinformazione F. Granelli, WORLD Kickoff, Oct. 17th, 2009 The WORLD Testbed (contd) What is already available? The WOMEN testbed is currently running at DISI premises (802.11a/5GHz) The testbed is built using Linux-based programmable APs The software is available on the WOMEN website An Open Platform for developing and validating

Dipartimento di Ingegneria e Scienza dellinformazione F. Granelli, WORLD Kickoff, Oct. 17th, 2009 The WORLD Testbed (contd) 15 AP5 AP4 AP2 AP1 AP3 X X X XX

Dipartimento di Ingegneria e Scienza dellinformazione F. Granelli, WORLD Kickoff, Oct. 17th, 2009 The WORLD Testbed (contd) What are we missing? Long-range connectivity (soon to come, with an HiPERLAN/2 p2p connection between DISI and CREATE-NET) Users authentication (T7.3 – Intelligent Access System) Extension to multiple NICs and smart antennas Mobile Mesh Routers (solar-powered?)

Dipartimento di Ingegneria e Scienza dellinformazione F. Granelli, WORLD Kickoff, Oct. 17th, 2009 The WORLD Testbed (contd) An incremental approach

Dipartimento di Ingegneria e Scienza dellinformazione F. Granelli, WORLD Kickoff, Oct. 17th, 2009 The WORLD Testbed (contd) Perspectives for partners To deploy the testbed at their own premises To contribute to the testbed and trials Integration Roadmap (specifications at M6, delivery at M19) To have remote access to the testbed facility (to be checked)
