Project Details: Situation and location aware design solutions over heterogeneous wireless networks (ICONA)
| Project: | Situation and location aware design solutions over heterogeneous wireless networks (ICONA) |
| Main Coordinator: | Prof. Marina Ruggieri, Università di Roma Tor Vergata |
| Laboratory Unit Coordinator: | Antonella Molinaro |
| Support: | Italian Ministry of Research - Project of National Relevance (PRIN) |
| Main Research Objectives: | Main objective of the research is the design of solution for the most effective exploitation of position/context information relevant to users and terminals in heterogeneous networks to the aim of improving integration effectiveness of access segments with a keen interest on: (i) protocols and techniques for vertical/horizontal handover optimization, automatic and dynamic access network selection, and resource allocation; (ii) definition of a distributed (middleware) architecture able to gather, distribute, and jointly exploit both measures deriving from different positioning systems and information relevant to user and network current contexts; (iii) design of Gateways for the "intelligent" access to heterogeneous wireless platforms and definition of gateway selection policies and routing algorithms both in "single hop" and "multi hop" access networks. |
