The METIS-II project has special focus on the part of future communication networks called the “radio access network”. The project provides the technical enablers (i.e. the solutions to build the radio network "5G") needed for an efficient integration and use of the various 5G technologies and components. The objective of this demo is [...]
The EU‐JP project MiWEBA (Millimetre‐Wave Evolution for Backhaul and Access) proposes research and proof of concept of a millimetre‐wave overlay in densely populated heterogeneous networks (HetNet) where millimetre‐wave small cell base stations are integrated into conventional cellular networks. The concept extends the network capacity massively at reasonable cost and without loss [...]
There is a strong need for objective data about reliability and performance of Mobile Broadband (MBB) networks, and for tools to rigorously and scientifically assess their performance. Funded through the Horizon2020 LEIT program; Measuring Mobile Broadband Networks in Europe (MONROE) project designs and builds an open, European-scale, and flexible platform with [...]
The booth of the NATRES cluster is providing an inside on the latest achievements in the topic of Cloud services and resource management. Twenty research and innovation actions partially funded by the European Commission in the FP7/H2020-ICT programme and dealing with these topics in their efforts to solve complex problems like big data [...]
netCommons: Network infrastructure as commons What is netCommons? netCommons is a new EU Horizon2020 project under the CAPS call. It proposes a transdisciplinary methodology on promoting and supporting the creation of network infrastructure as commons. It includes a balanced mixed of experts in engineering, economics, law, political science, interdisciplinary research, and [...]
To create a digital single market for IoT-enabled urban services, it will take a suite of high-impact initiatives and solutions. The city-driven Open & Agile Smart Cities initiative (OASC) unites 89 cities from 19 countries with a commitment to implement interoperability and share data to form the basis for such a market. The [...]
