A Contribution to Always Best Connected

Subproject of EuroNGI (internal call Jan 2005 - Jan 2006)

Aims

CT-ABC is a spin-off project initiated through an internal EuroNGI call for specific research projects (2005) in cooperation with University of Antwerp (Belgium), University Polytechnic of Valencia (Spain), University of Bradford (UK). The project deals with mobility management in heterogeneous wireless networks.

The main objective is to integrate efforts from several expertise people in the area of wireless communications and mobile computing in order to contribute to the Always Best Connected
(ABC) solution for integration of wireless technologies in 3G/4G scenarios. The objectives of the project are:

  •  To cont)ribute to the identification of mobile user’s behaviour by using mobility models
  • To develop new motion prediction algorithms based on the information theory.
  • To contribute to the vertical integration between heterogeneous access networks, by proposing new location update and paging algorithms –location management-.
  • To contribute to the vertical integration between heterogeneous access networks, by proposing new proactive handoff algorithms –handoff-management-.
  • To extend the concepts of Peer-to-Peer resource sharing to manage mobility between different location management systems
