What is this Project about The market of cellular telecommunication is continuously growing during the last decade. Till now, the most important application has been "voice", but it is expected that the role of "data" communication will become more and more relevant in the next future. This expectation is also supported by the current development inside the information technology world: the bit rate required by the applications in order to transmit complex information, such as video, is dramatically decreasing (e.g. MPEG-4), while their intelligence (i.e. the capacity to match the user needs) is constantly increasing (e.g. mobile and intelligent agent technology). Moreover, the role of Internet and the WEBs exploitation in the fixed network environment is going to be exported to the mobile users. The key technical factor allowing the presented evolution will be the UMTS system, which is presently under specification by ETSI (and IMT-2000 by ITU). Untill now it is not clear what the behaviour of "applications" in the UMTS system will be. Questions like the following should be answered:
It is quite evident that the answers to the listed questions have strong implications on both the guess about the future wireless market and the technical solution that should be adopted. The selection of multiple radio interfaces for UMTS (W-CDMA and TD-CDMA) from ETSI increases the complexity of the identified problems. Furthermore, it is still not clear how many different interfaces the ITU IMT-2000 will use. In this project an answer will be found by means of the test of a set of promising applications using an emulated UMTS radio and network channel. Radio alternatives, handover and exchange of control and QoS information will be explored. Theoretical studies, improvement of application prototypes, simulations of radio interfaces, implementation of emulator, evaluation performances and deep analysis of tests are the path selected by the project in order to achieve its results. The ongoing work in the standard bodies about UMTS and IMT-2000, the ongoing studies on mobile and intelligent agents (FIPA, OMG) and the emerging transport techniques on both the data stream (MPEG-4) and the network side (ATM, IP and mobile IP) are the background information required for the project. For the technical approach it is planned to adopt an already implemented emulator (developed inside the ACTS framework) which could be quite easily adapted to the scope of the project. Furthermore an MPEG-4 browser (developed inside the MPEG standardisation body) is available. The possibility to understand how will be the impact of innovative radio interfaces on the performance application before their implementation is a great value to influence the standard environment on both the UMTS system and application definition. From the operators point of view, the studies proposed in the project supply new prospective for the development of innovative services to acquire new shares of market. What are the key results of this Project?
The key results of the project will answer the following questions:
