Challenges

WPs for Femtocell

WP2 - Coverage (coverage & capacity!!) objective: providing high bandwidth with minimum network cost throughout Norway; proposing a frequency vs technology allocation based on theoretical analysis and practical measurements.

  • theoretical analysis (of what??)
  • practical measurements
  • stress testing
  • research challenges:

WP3 - Security & Authentication

  • pass through,
  • "virtuell fixed network operator"
  • non-encrypted information flow

WP4 - Quality Networks

  • Cognitive systems
  • Quality of Service
  • control service

WP5 - Business models

  • customer subscription versus provision from
  • macro network costs versus femto costs, OPEX and CAPEX
  • eksempel: FFI as femto provider
  • børs versus management

WP6 - Pilot

  • konseptutvikling (bidrag fra FFI/Trondheim samarbeid - GNU software radio, Stig Frode, Torbjørn...)
  • pilot market analysis

WP7 - Exploitation and Dissemination

  • International partnership, Net!Works

Budget

  • 4 MNOK med 40% støtte av Forksningsrådet(?)
    • (6 MNOK totalbudget) for å dekke 3 x 800 kNOK = 2.4 MNOK for Dr. Grad

Finansering

  • 20% arbeidskraft fra 4 bedrifter = 0.8 PY = 1.3 MNOK
  • 6 bedrifter til å støtte PhD utdannele med 100 kNOK/år i 3 år = 1.8 MNOK
  • (evtl. støtte fra UNIK 30% av PhD)
  • missing: 2.9 MNOK (with UNIK help missing 1 MNOK?)
