Proposal of C4MS and inherent technical challenges – D3.1

Deliverable D3.1 del projecte Europeu OneFIT (ICT-2009-257385)The scope of OneFIT is on Opportunistic etworks and Cognitive Management Systems for Efficient Application Provision in the uture Internet. This document contains a proposal of Control Channels for Coordination of Cognitive Management Systems (C4MS) which enables delivery of guidance/assistance information from infrastructure towards the Opportunistic Networks and provides means for the management of Opportunistic Networks. This document defines first messages and elementary procedures for the C4MS as well as it identifies a preliminary set of information which is to be conveyed over C4MS. The document introduces also the inherent technical challenges related to the C4MS proposal.Postprint (published version

Formulation, implementation considerations, and first performance evaluation of algorithmic solutions - D4.1

Deliverable D4.1 del projecte Europeu OneFIT (ICT-2009-257385)This deliverable contains a first version of the algorithmic solutions for enabling opportunistic networks. The presented algorithms cover the full range of identified management tasks: suitability, creation, QoS control, reconfiguration and forced terminations. Preliminary evaluations complement the proposed algorithms. Implementation considerations towards the practicality of the considered algorithms are also included.Preprin

Cognitive control channels: from concept to identification of implementation options

Recent effort related to cognitive radio systems has lead to an in-depth analysis of context information management and exploitation based on a cognitive control channel for enhancement of management needed for, say, suitable link selection in a heterogeneous radio framework, dynamic radio resource management, and distributed sensing. Concerning the actual implementation of such a CCC, the focus was recently moved toward an in-band solution, where the information is transported building on existing radio access technologies. In this scope, this article illustrates relevant technical scenarios in which CCCs can be exploited and outlines a set of derived system requirements. The article provides an overview of various possible RAT independent and dependent implementation options, such as Diameter, distributed agents, 3GPP radio resource control(RRC) mechanisms, IEEE 802.21, IEEE 802.11, WiMedia UWB, and Bluetooth. The advantages and drawbacks of the various options are discussed.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version
