Objective
The objective of the EVEREST project is to devise and assess a set of specific strategies and algorithms for access and core network, leading to an optimal utilisation of scarcely available resources for the support of mixed services with end-to-end QoS mechanisms within heterogeneous networks beyond 3G.The provision of beyond 3G heterogeneous network topologies is conceptually a very attractive notion; however, it is a challenge to accomplish an efficient network design.
In this context, Radio Resource Management (RRM) strategies are responsible for an utmost efficient utilization of the air interface resource in the available Radio Access Networks (RANs). Any stand-alone wireless systems or heterogeneous hybrids thereof, rely on RRM strategies to guarantee a certain prior agreed QoS.EVEREST will provide tangible contributions towards a heterogeneous realisation of 2G/2.5/3G (eg. GERAN and UTRAN) and 3.5G networks (e.g. HSDPA) with the inclusion of newly emerging RANs (e.g. WLAN for vertical coverage extensions) for the 2007-2010 time frame. The potential inclusion of location information in RRM design as well as some forms of RAN sharing will be considered, as additional examples of the medium and long term research focus of EVEREST.
Proposed solutions will be compliant with and aligned to standardisation activities in the field, e.g. 3GPP, IETF, IEEE. In order to accomplish with the above objectives, the project evolves around to main activities:
- algorithmic development and simulation by means of advanced simulation tools, and
- demonstration of he technology by means of implementing real time testbeds to proof concepts.
It is further purpose of the project to contribute actively to the different standardisation fora. Results obtained in EVEREST are expected to be of significant momentum, the beneficiaries to which are service providers, operators, manufacturers and end-users.
