Project description Future Networks Show the project objective Hide the project objective The CoRaSat project aims at investigating, developing, and demonstrating cognitive radio techniques in satellite communication systems for spectrum sharing. Outcomes of the study will drive the definition of strategic roadmaps to be followed by industry stakeholders, European Institutions, and Governmental actors towards regulatory and standardization groups in order to ensure that the necessary actions are undertaken to open new business perspectives for SatCom through cognitive radio communications in support of the Digital Agenda for Europe.Flexible spectrum utilization is a surging trend for the optimized exploitation of spectrum resources, and the cognitive approach has already demonstrated its potential for terrestrial systems, but not yet in the SatCom domain. However, SatCom are fundamental to achieve the challenging objectives of fast broadband access for everyone by 2020: their inherent large coverage footprint makes them the most suitable access scheme to reach those areas where deployment of wired and wireless networks is not economically viable.CoRaSat puts together these two elements by considering Cognitive Radio approaches for coexistence scenarios in spectrum allocated to any SatCom service.For the first time in SatCom research initiatives, CoRaSat will systematically and thoroughly approach the Cognitive Radio concept considering SatCom peculiarities and characteristics. CoRaSat will identify scenarios and use cases, focusing on broadband applications and considering other services, like interactive broadcasting, narrowband applications, etc., where cognitive radio can improve spectrum exploitation. Technology enablers for the identified scenarios will be developed and demonstrated for specific use cases through analysis, simulation, and testbed implementations.Flexible spectrum usage has potential benefits for SatCom as well as threats; CoRaSat aims at demonstrating that the benefits outnumber the threats and open up new business perspectives Fields of science engineering and technologymechanical engineeringvehicle engineeringaerospace engineeringsatellite technologyengineering and technologyelectrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineeringinformation engineeringtelecommunicationsradio technologycognitive radio Programme(s) FP7-ICT - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Information and communication technologies Topic(s) ICT-2011.1.1 - Future Networks Call for proposal FP7-ICT-2011-8 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme CP - Collaborative project (generic) Coordinator ALMA MATER STUDIORUM - UNIVERSITA DI BOLOGNA Address Via zamboni 33 40126 Bologna Italy See on map Region Nord-Est Emilia-Romagna Bologna Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Verdiana Bandini (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window EU contribution No data Participants (5) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all NEWTEC CY NV Belgium EU contribution € 829 081,00 Address Laarstraat 9100 Sint niklaas See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Geert Adams (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Other funding No data THALES ALENIA SPACE FRANCE SAS France EU contribution € 187 514,00 Address Avenue jean francois champollion 26 31100 Toulouse See on map Region Occitanie Midi-Pyrénées Haute-Garonne Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Christiane Notari (Mrs.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data SES TECHCOM SA Luxembourg EU contribution € 128 357,00 Address Chateau de betzdorf 6815 Betzdorf See on map Region Luxembourg Luxembourg Luxembourg Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Frank Zimmer (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Other funding No data UNIVERSITE DU LUXEMBOURG Luxembourg EU contribution € 484 980,00 Address 2 avenue de l'universite 4365 Esch-sur-alzette See on map Region Luxembourg Luxembourg Luxembourg Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Alfred Funk (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data UNIVERSITY OF SURREY United Kingdom EU contribution € 349 050,00 Address Stag hill GU2 7XH Guildford See on map Region South East (England) Surrey, East and West Sussex West Surrey Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Maria Sega-Buhalis (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data
