Description du projet
Repousser les limites de la performance de l’internet mobile
Alors que le monde dépend de plus en plus de l’internet mobile, il est essentiel d’améliorer ses performances. Malgré les progrès réalisés, de nouveaux paradigmes menant à une plus grande efficacité spectrale et à des organisations de réseau intelligentes sont nécessaires pour faire face à la croissance continue des données mobiles. Le projet PERFUME, financé par le Conseil européen de la recherche, s’attaquera à ces limites. Il entend notamment révolutionner l’internet mobile en exploitant les capacités des dispositifs eux-mêmes. Il propose de les transformer en nœuds de calcul distribués capables de résoudre ensemble des problèmes multi-agents, en optimisant les performances du réseau par l’exploitation des capacités locales de mesure et d’échange d’informations. Cette approche, qui s’écarte du modèle traditionnel centré sur le réseau, permettra aux dispositifs de devenir conviviaux et intelligents, ce qui se traduira par des gains considérables de performances de l’internet mobile.
Objectif
Advances in theory, integration techniques and standardization have led to huge progress in wireless technologies. Despite successes with past and current (5G) research, new paradigms leading to greater spectral efficiencies and intelligent network organizations will be in great demand to absorb the continuous growth in mobile data. Our ability to respond suitably to this challenge in the next decade will ensure sustained competitiveness in the digital economy.
With few exceptions such as ad-hoc topologies, classical wireless design places the radio device under the tight control of the network. Promising technologies envisioned in 5G such as (i) Coordinated MultiPoint (CoMP) techniques, (ii) Massive MIMO, or (ii) Millimeter-wave (MMW) by-and-large abide by this model. Pure network-centric designs, such as optical cloud-supported ones raise cost and security concerns and do not fit all deployment scenarios. Also they make the network increasingly dependent on a large amount of signaling and device-created measurements.
Our project envisions a radically new approach to designing the mobile internet, which taps into the device’s new capabilities. Our approach recasts devices as distributed computational nodes solving together multi-agent problems, allowing to maximize the network performance by exploiting local measurement and information exchange capabilities. The success of the project relies on the understanding of new information theory limits for systems with decentralized information, the development of novel device communication methods, and advanced team-based statistical signal processing algorithms.
The potential gains associated with exploiting the devices’ collective, network friendly, intelligence are huge. The project will demonstrate long-term impact of the new paradigm, in pushing the frontiers of mobile internet performance, as well as short- to mid-term impact through its adaptation to currently known communications scenarios and techniques.
