Connectivity and Dynamic Internetworking
This area deals with the design, development, implementation and evaluation of the Ambient Networks dynamic internetworking and routing architecture, with a specific focus on mechanisms that support user plane communication. This architecture consists of novel solutions for naming, routing, connectivity and transport-level mechanisms for next generation mobile networks. The key objectives here are:
- Specification of self-bootstrapping and self-managing internetworking functions, name resolution and translation mechanisms, routing protocols and transport bearer functionality that support and benefit from the advanced network capabilities of Ambient Networks, such as dynamic multi-access, network mobility, the availability of ensured service or network context.
-
- Joint development of internetworking components that affect the operation of other network functionality in conjunction with other areas, such as routing mechanisms that interact with composition or network access selection.
-
- Proof-of-feasibility of the internetworking functions through simulations and an experimental performance and scalability evaluation of a prototypeimplementation.
Concurrent ongoing standardization of specific components of the internetworking architecture in relevant standards bodies, such as the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and its related bodies.
