Zusammenfassung vom Kontext und den Gesamtzielen des Projekts

MapCOM will transition the fundamental research carried out in the COOPNET Starting Grant Project to concrete applications related to power-efficient and scalable resource allocation for cellular networks, in particular for 5G communications. The key idea is to harness uncertain location information to build statistical radio maps, which can be used to predict radio signal quality and perform long-term proactive resource allocation. This will reduce operating costs for operators, provide better user experience for high-throughput applications, and enable new services and applications where low latency, reliable, and scalable communication is key (e.g. autonomous vehicles). COOPNET research has indicated the importance of explicitly accounting for various sources of uncertainty. We are now ready to establish the innovation potential of this research for commercial and societal benefit. The analysis carried out in this project will allow us to identify, together with industrial actors, where the market value of the COOPNET concept lies. If successful, telecom industry will be able to provide the COOPNET functionality as part of their future products and services, giving them a significant advantage over competitors. We also expect this to be a first step towards multiple possible market applications to be identified in various areas of the ICT industries.
