    • : MEVICO – Mobile Networks Evolution for Induvidual Communication Experience

Celtic-Plus project

MEVICO will research the network aspects of the 3GPP LTE-mobile broadband network for its evolution in the mid-term in 2011-2014. The goal is to contribute to the technical drive and leadership of the EPC network (3GPP), and thus support the European industry to maintain and extend its strong technical and market position in the mobile networks market. The results can be used as contributions for further development of the 3GPP standard on EPC in Rel11-Rel13. The scope of the project is mobile network evolution in the mid-term, whereas EU FP7 projects cover the Future Internet in the longer term.

The target is to innovate and develop new network concepts for meeting the future requirements of a) the evolving LTE and LTE-A radio technologies and b) evolving usage and services of the Internet. The radio system evolution is already taking place with LTE-A both in research and in the standardization (3GPP, ITU-R), and hence call for related research on the network aspects. As for the latter driver, a strong increase in the number of mobile users and capacity needs in the network is foreseen. They require further optimization of the network for capacity and cost, as well as ways to provide end-user services with more individual experience

    • : WIMAGIC – Worldwide Interoperability Microwave System for Next- Generation Wireless Communications

European Commission – FP7

The objective of this industry-driven multi-disciplinary research proposal is to develop novel and highly innovative technical solutions which will be backward compatible with the existing global broadband wireless access (BWA) standards (IEEE 802.16 and WiMAX) and linked to the specific end-user requirements which will be incorporated into the emerging IEEE 802.16m standard, which aims at defining an air interface that can ensure high mobility (at least 120km/h), transmit a data rate of over 100Mbit/s and offer higher performance compared to the current 802.16e standard. Among the main topics to be addressed for the advanced air interface are new MIMO schemes offering higher diversity and multiplexing gains as well as interference cancellation capabilities, advanced synchronization and channel estimation techniques that are compatible with the increased mobility requirement, advanced radio resource allocation schemes involving cross-layer optimisation, as well as cooperation between users and base stations. Research results developed within the framework of this STREP will be used to draft contributions to the IEEE 802.16m working group and influence this future standard.
