7-9 June 2005
During IWCT´05, demonstrations will be organised in room TS128, in the immediate vicinity of the workshop lecture rooms. The demonstration times are:
In addition, CWC’s wireless joystick demonstration can be experienced in the restaurant Datania during the afternoon coffee break on Tuesday and Wednesday at 14.15-15.00
Demonstration Descriptions Elektrobit Testing Ltd., Radio Channel Products Propsim radio channel emulators answer to the advanced testing requirements of the present and future wireless systems. They offer a hardware solution for emulating the real radio channel in laboratory. Propsim radio channel emulators provide accurate, repeatable and cost-efficient testing solutions over the full life cycle of any wireless product. NetHawk NetHawk is known among network equipment manufacturers, operators and content providers for its portable products used in testing wireless networks. The NetHawk products, combination of software and interface adapter, turn standard desktop or laptop PC into efficient and versatile protocol testing devices, that can be equipped with various NetHawk proprietary or 3rd party applications for different purposes, like radio network optimization etc. Customers benefit from the fact that a tool can be used for GSM, GPRS as well as UMTS technologies and the core network. The flexible software-based product concept with the possibility to utilise the solutions throughout the life cycle of wireless networks, provide the user with a future-proof solution for his testing needs. NetHawk offices are located in Finland, France, China, Germany, Singapore, Sweden, Japan and USA. At the IWCT´05 NetHawk will present the new NetHawk M5 multi-analyser which revolutionizes the usage of the term "multifunctional"; with the M5 the user is able to monitor practically all interfaces, even simultaneously and in a correlated format, from core networks through 2.5G to 3G. VTT Electronics Telecommunication Systems VTT Electronics Telecommunication Systems is a leading Finnish R&D unit for wireless communications. We carry out research and development work on telecommunication products and their core technologies. Our R&D services are used by telecommunications and electronic industries in Finland and abroad. VTT is participating to an EU/IST funded PHOENIX project that is developing a cross layer design scheme for jointly optimising an end-to-end wireless communication link in application, network and physical layers. The demonstrator describes the PHOENIX simulation framework for cross layer research that takes into account application, network and physical layer techniques and at the same time allows cross layer communication and optimization between these different system layers. Demonstrator illustrates the benefits of the joint optimisation in terms of visual quality in adaptive wireless video transmission. 4G The CWC 4G Lab was opened in 2004. It has the vision to become one of the leading laboratories for practical 4G system validation. The 4G Lab has access to state-of-the art facilities to explore and emulate the wideband radio channel and to evaluate the performance of advanced radio access systems. The facilities include the PROPSound system for MIMO radio channel measurements, the PROPSim for real-time channel emulation, and a reconfigurable test platform for link level performance testing of candidate radio access schemes in a real radio environment. Moreover 4G Lab has developed a dynamic system level simulator for investigating multi-user, multi-cell network capacity and throughput of future wireless communication systems. The three main themes of the 4G Lab can be summarised as
FUTURA Spearhead project FUTURA was one of the four spearhead projects of TEKES NETS (Networks of the Future) Technology programme and run by CWC. The Project developed future (“4G”) broadband wireless systems, radio interfaces, related advanced transceiver algorithms and networking techniques for different applications (3G evolution and beyond 3G cellular system, new military communication systems). Results obtained in FUTURA will be shown and distributed during the demonstration sessions at IWCT´05. Wireless Embedded Networking These demonstrations showcase the wireless embedded networking research conducted at the CWC. Based on our WIRO wireless sensor networking platform, multiple demonstrations of low-power radios and protocols will be shown. These include the wireless joystick demonstration, employing a sensor query language, and a wireless sensor measurement system with our nanoMAC protocol. The CWC's low-data rate ultra wideband research will also be presented. Security and Defence Research The goal of S&D research at CWC is to support the Finnish Defence Forces in their research needs and to develop and evaluate new technologies. The major effort during the last decade has been the waveform development for the Air Forces and Navy, of which the latter is now in the demonstration phase resulting in the Finnish Software Radio Demonstrator. The demonstrator includes a network level simulator shown at IWCT'05, developed by Sofnetix Ltd in cooperation with CWC. The network simulator is used for verifying the overall performance of the network and for medium access (MAC) protocols designed for the SDR platforms. A real SCA compliant layer 3 protocol software implementation has been run in the simulator. A special adapter component for running real protocol implementations together with OPNET network simulator tool has been developed for that purpose. CWC's other main objective in the S&D area is to study and develop technologies such as anti-jam waveforms and receivers; cognitive radios; survivable wireless and sensor networks. Ultra Wideband Co-Existence In this demonstration, UWB impact on IEEE802.11a link is illustrated. Four FCC compatible ultra wideband (UWB) pulse transmitters are used to interfere a peer-to-peer WLAN connection. It will be shown that a live video stream transmitted through the IEEE802.11a link can tolerate UWB interference without significant performance degradation.
