Objective
Self-configuring, intelligent sensor/communication networks present almost limitless opportunities in applications such as security, transport, medical treatment, industrial control and environmental management. Their concept requires integration of a range of technologies including wireless communications, sensors, networks, positioning, distributed computing and intelligence and hardware implementation. The wireless communications elements of these networks carry a number of challenges, associated with both the physical and application layers.
Through the exchange of researchers with unique and specialist skills between academic and industrial partners, this project will focus on furthering the knowledge required to develop the wireless communications element of these networks, in particular the efficient handling of high bandwidth (wireless video) signals, the scaleable quality of service required by different types of sensors and the security requirements both in terms of data transfer and protection against external events.
Led by the Institute of Integrated Information Systems at the University of Leeds in partnership with the University of Bergen (Norway), ENST-Bretagne (France), NERA Networks (Norway), Rinicom Ltd. (UK) and Britannia 2000 Ltd. (UK), this project will promote and consolidate the engagement of academic and industrial partners throughout the value chain, from research to manufacture.
Critically, it will lay the foundations for and enable the on-going and future exchange of theoretical and practical knowledge, specialist skills and experience which are a pre-requisite for positioning Europe to lead in this future market.
