6th IST Call (WP ‘01)IV.5.2 Terrestrial Systems & Networks
– Including R&D on 4th Generation Systems Definition;
It aims to study develop and validate novel terrestrial wireless systems and networks, including:
fixed wireless access schemes; advanced public/private wireless local area networks, and inter-working mobile/broadcasting systems supporting the
provision of broadband M2M services; Key aspects concern:
support of mobility across networks and seamless roaming; radio resource mechanisms and protocols that enable inter- and
intra-network handover; optimisation of network elements and performance in a
heterogeneous services context; QoS evaluation and management;
It also aims to further study, develop and validate the concept of 4th generation of wireless systems and networks;
Action Line (AL) Open in Call 6IV.5.2 Terrestrial Systems & Networks
Action Line (AL) Open in Call 6IV.5.2 Terrestrial Systems & Networks
The AL open in the 6th Call should not be seen in isolation from those called in previous calls;
Integration of various radio and network access technologies contributes to the further longer term evolution towards 4G and to the necessity for further evolution of software re-configurable systems and networks;
Moreover, the subsequent call of WP’01 (Call 7) should further open the possibility to extend and take maximum advantage of the work put in place through the previous calls;
What is a 4th generation system (4G) ?
• Nobody knows yet; • Nevertheless there is some consensus on what
might be the features of a 4G system;• It should entail advanced and innovative concepts
and technologies for self-aware, self-organising ad-hoc wireless networks;
• May be not a NEW air interface scheme but a flexible one that allows scalable wireless connectivity;
• Try to assess potential spectrum requirements and co-existence issues, including the study of strategies and the development of appropriate tools allowing a distributed flexible management of the spectrum;
4G - Network aspects
To investigate and develop advanced and innovative concepts and technologies for self-aware, self-organising ad-hoc wireless networks:
•dynamic topologies;•addressing, bridging, routing;•bandwidth constrained, variable capacity links;•congestion management, resource sharing;•limited physical security, energy-constrained;•interaction amongst different protocol layers;•interworking in heterogeneous, hierarchical networks;
•evolved mobile IP: The IPvW (IP suitable for Wireless);
•adaptive QoS schemes;
An example - multi-hop architecture:
two devices which cannot establish a direct communication employ an intermediate “bridge” between devices.

Spontaneous Device Networking (self-organising,
ad-hoc)
4G - Radio aspects (and protocol stack implications)
To develop innovative air interface schemes allowing for scalable wireless connectivity:
• Very high bit rate radio interface (>100 Mbits) for indoors and outdoors;
• Advanced radio architectures & new radio environments;
• Capacity enhancement;• Self-planning;• Dynamic reconfiguration;• Joint optimisation of source & channel coding
schemes;• Advanced antennas and space time processing;• Precision tracking (of user devices);
4G - Spectrum issues
To assess potential spectrum requirements and co-existence issues, including the study of strategies and the development of appropriate tools allowing a distributed flexible management of the spectrum resources:
• New Spectrum for existing and future Radio Interfaces;
• Re-Farming of military and broadcasting spectrum;
• Co-existence of/with licensed systems;• Spectrum etiquette for unlicensed
technologies;
Is it too early to start R&D on 4G ?
Japan’s MPT already announced that it will co-operate with the private sector to set a standard for advanced cellular phones, which can send/receive moving images instantly;
The group will standardize telecommunication protocols and conduct joint experiments, aiming to compile a basic plan by the summer of 2001;
Such cell-phones will hit the market as early as 2007; The future cell phones are expected to have a throughput
several hundred times faster than current models; MPT will also set up a special panel inviting experts from
consumer electronics makers, computer S/W developers, telecom firms as well as academics.

Enhancing existing KA4 projects with participation from NAS
A consortium of an on-going KA4 project can submit a proposal to enhance the project scope by adding work performed by NAS partner(s);
The “enlarged” consortium can submit a proposal for evaluation in the context of the coming open KA4 AL’s;
In order to facilitate “first contact” between researchers from NAS and existing projects in the area of mobile and wireless communications, a two hours session will take place in Brussels on the 13th of March, 2001;

7th IST Call
Publication date: June 2001 (tentative)Submissions deadline: October 2001
(tentative)IV.5.1 Re-configurable Radio
– Including 4GIV.5.3 Satellites Networks & Services
IST 7th call for proposals (1/2)
IV.5.1 Reconfigurable radio systems & networks
Key goals are the development of:
• Novel techniques and technologies in the area of combined DSP/RF design that will lead to the realisation of efficient and cost-effective adaptive transceivers (terminals as well as base stations). The combinations of and trade off between dedicated ASIC implementations and reconfigurable logic as well as optimised algorithmic partitioning are of particular interest.
• Open architectures and service/applications development environments, enabling the co-existence, interoperability, portability and adaptation of services, across heterogeneous wireless network platforms. Aspects of particular relevance are those related to self adaptation to traffic load and characteristics, including multi-streaming, dynamic bandwidth allocation, and spectrum sharing.
IST 7th call for proposals (2/2)
IV.5.3 Satellite systems and services
Key aspects concern:
• The technologies and demonstrators based on architectures demonstrating a viable evolution towards advanced MSS/FSS systems. The work relates to integration of satellite key features such as broadcasting (e.g. S-DAB or S-DVB), optimised support of Internet Protocol including voice transmission by IP protocol using satellite wideband networks and multicasting, delivery of multimedia services through supplemental, complementary, or extension strategies with the mobile terrestrial networks.
• The development of advanced technologies and architectures allowing for introduction of novel BSS systems with scalable support of multimedia services. The work relates to support of broadcasting technologies supporting novel interactive multimedia applications, optimised multicasting and caching architectures and to the associated FCAPS management functions. Technologies for dynamic optimisation of spectrum and network resources are common objectives.
