Modern telecommunicationnetworks and classical roles of Operators are subject to fundamental changes. Standardization bodies and Industry are specifying and integrating nextgeneration Network (NGN) infrastructures and NGN services based on an all IP paradigm. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), Third generation Partnership Project (3GPP), 3GPP2 and Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) are working on technological issues to enable services using Internet technology and Service Orientated Architectures (SOA). Furthermore, first thoughts on the architectural and bearer evolution of NGN is taking place under the notion of Long Term Evolution (LTE) and System Architecture Evolution (SAE). This paper reports about our approach of extending the existing IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) Playground @ FOKUS towards a LTE/SAE testbed and two prototypic services, a single network agnostic Voicemail application and a 3G circuit-switched to packet-switched handover scenario as a proof-of-concept for the environment.
In recent years, the DSP group at the University of Manchester has developed a range of DSP platforms for real-time filtering and processing of acoustic signals. A nextgeneration system has now been designed, which i...

The nextgeneration Mobile Handhelds need to focus on seamless Mobility and session continuity when the subscribers move frequently across different radio access networks. This paper presents a Generic Radio Access Abstraction layer (GRAAL) outlining the additional functionalities required at the mobile terminal that can decide on the fly for selecting the best radio access network according to the users choice and applications preferences. The proposed GRAAL will enable subscribers to benefit from high throughput and to maintain session continuity during roaming across several mobile networks.

During the next years, the number of wireless sensor and communication systems used in cars for ubiquitous applications will increase significantly. The operational frequencies will span from the Low Frequency range (9kHz) up to the mmWave (79GHz) range, the bandwidth from narrowband band to Ultra-Wide Band (UWB). Increasingly, however, the electromagnetic spectrum represents a scarce natural resource of strategic national socio-economic importance. Careful international spectrum engineering and regulation is required, in order to ensure coexistence between existing and planned services. Automotive applications traditionally have used free and unlicensed ISM (Industrial, Scientific, Medical) bands, which will be overcrowded in the future. Therefore, the automotive industry needs dedicated frequency allocations for future applications. UWB is one of the most promising new concepts for automotive applications. The SARA (Short range Automotive Radar frequency Allocation) group was founded by the automotive industry in 2001, a newcomer in the field of frequency management SARA's activities focused on international frequency regulation and standardization of UWB automotive short range radar (SRR) for advanced driver assistance and safety applications. As a result of successful SARA activities, the market introduction of these sensors started with the Mercedes-Benz S-class in 2005, followed by BMW's introduction of SRR in 2007 in the 5-series. The SARA group has expanded the focus of its activity from UWB SRR to general frequency needs for automotive radar. With this new focus, SARA has become the Strategic Automotive Radar Frequency Allocation group. This contribution gives an overview on actual and planned wireless sensing systems used in cars and on the necessary spectrum resources for the technologies to be applied. Finally, the current and planned activities of the SARA group are outlined.

HASN is a hierarchical routing protocol for heterogeneous sensornetworks, optimized via cross-layer designs to save sensor's power and improve reliability. There are two kinds of nodes in heterogeneous sensornetworks: normal sensor and header node that has more powerful battery and higher performance antenna. A header and sensors in its radio transmitting range compose a cluster. The header takes charge of data collection and data aggregation in its cluster. In a cluster, the communication is unsymmetrical. From the header to sensors is directly reachable, but from sensors to their header needs multi-hop. In this paper, a new dynamic address assignment method is introduced for large number of sensors automatically. A mathematics model of energy optimum relay tree is designed, which can guarantee the minimum energy cost forwarding and relay load balance. We give an approximation algorithm to resolve the model. A centralized scheduling management is proposed to avoid collisions completely in a cluster. We also introduce a mechanism to depress data redundancy.

This paper discusses the e-SENSE project, which is the nextgeneration wireless sensornetworks. The e-SENSE system will use a combination of enabling technologies, provide seamless and nomadic user access to new classes of applications, capture an unprecedented level of detail of context, use body, object and environment sensornetworks, and interact with and link to beyond 3G network and service platforms. Some of the e-SENSE research challenges are presented.

Conventional approaches to QoS (Quality of Service) provisioning in IP networks are difficult to apply in all-optical networks. This is mainly because there is no optical RAM (Random Access Memory) to store packets during contention for bandwidth, so the provision of QoS with OBS (Optical Burst Switching) is a hot issue that has been widely studied. Most of the QoS schemes guarantee the performance of high priority traffic at the cost of low priority traffic's performance. To solve this problem, a novel wavelength assignment scheme for supporting QoS in OBS networks is proposed in this paper, we give the detailed means to increase the priority of the buffed low priority bursts and show it is especially beneficial to improve networks average throughput than that of offset-time-based scheme.

Generally, single path routing is simple and consumes less energy than multi-path routing, but it will cost a lot to re-delivery when the data delivery fails. However, multi-path routing supports high delivery ratio and load balancing, but its traffic is very high and the redundant traffic is burden to the whole networks. In this paper, we introduce a novel routing scheme for wireless sensornetworks, so called, the highly energy aware resilient routing scheme (HEAR). Our scheme establishes partial disjoint multi-paths to support high robustness and energy efficiency.
The low resource availability in the nodes of recent wireless networks has raised several new issues in the design of their hardware and software components. One of the high level approaches for optimizing resource us...

With optical networks evolving to the nextgeneration optical networks, various services are intended to be carried over a single optical network infrastructure. This contributes to the phenomenon that different services with different QoS requirements may survive in a set of degradative network working-states. Thus during the study of optical network reliability, it is insufficient to regard optical networks as having only binary working-states according to their network connectivity. We proposes here a new reliability evaluation model for WDM networks, which regard the network as a system having multiple working-states with reference to their route (s-t) capacity and maximum hop number constraints. Additionally, considering that there exist in WDM networks some elements whose failures affect neither the nodes nor the entire links but only certain wavelength channels in the links, a new kind of network element is added to the traditional element types (nodes and links) of network reliability evaluation model, namely wavelength channel related elements. The model was used to simulate the reliability of WC (wavelength continuous), PWC (partial wavelength conversion) and NWC (non-wavelength continuous) WDM networks with CERNET topology by way of Monte-Carlo method. Simulation results indicate that different working-state requirements may lead to different reliability evaluation results, and the differences will enlarge very quickly with the increasing of network element failure rates. This implies that the study of WDM network reliability should be performed under multiple working-states assumption, especially for multi-service networks, and the addition of the new network element kind - a wavelength channel-related element is necessary.
