Project description
FET Open cut-off 14/3/2006
The objective of this project is to develop the theory, methods and algorithms suitable for the modeling, analysis and design of future telecommunication networks. The long term goal is the theoretical understanding of the collective interaction of a multiplicity of communicating nodes beyond the boundaries posed by specific telecommunication standards. This will lead to a quantitative characterization of the fundamental performance limits of these systems and eventually to algorithms for achieving them. Successful completion of the proposed research will lead to methodological approaches that will shape the future telecommunication standards for emerging technologies like the sensory web and autonomic computing systems.Towards the goal above, we propose research thrusts in multi-terminal communication theory, network coding, cross-disciplinary approaches based on models migrating from physics, stochastic geometry and percolation theory as well as on node cooperation and emerging behavior of autonomic communication entities. The above topics capture important attributes of emerging telecommunication technologies that fall outside the framework of current analysis tools. These include massive numbers of nodes, lack of hierarchy and a priori structure in the network, vertical designs beyond the traditional layered approach and finally communication peers that may choose their mode of interaction with the network in a cooperative or non-cooperative manner. Novel approaches like those proposed here are necessitated while new mathematical tools will be developed. The level of improvement in capacity, robustness and reliability will be quantified and subsequently novel architectural considerations will be explored. The models and algorithms will be validated in comparison to current state of the art in a simulation framework specified by the partners and their impact on future standardized technology will be assessed.
