WINNER (Wireless INter-technology Networks with optimizEd data
Rates) is a 2 year joint project between
Centre for Wireless Communications, University of Oulu and
VTT Electronics. WINNER is a
direct continual for WINGIP (Wireless INdoor Geolocation and
IPv6 traffic analysis) project.
WINNER educates researchers in the field of IP-networking
to produce scientifical publications and thesis. WINNER also
participates to standardization work within
IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force).
WINNER focuses on four main research areas:
(1) Micro- and Macromobility Management in IPv6
networks
- In this task we concentrate on algorithm development for
efficient IPv6 micro- and macromobility
management. Focus is on micro- and macromobility in IPv6
networks,
especially in handoff issues. This task aims to contribute
to
Mobile IP WG at IETF and also aims to publish scientifical
publications.
(2) Routing within IPv6 micro-mobility and Ad Hoc networks
- In this task we study algorithms and graph theoretical aspects of
fast Ad
Hoc networking routing.
For realistic end-to-end analysis, the routing aspects needs to be taken
into consideration.
The routing team will study both on-demand and predictive routing
aspects.
This task aims to contribute
to
MANET WG at IETF and also aims to publish scientifical
publications.
(3) End-to-end QoS for Inter-tech IPv6 networks
- In this task we analyze the interoperability of different radio
networks using
UDP/TCP/IPv6 as their basic transmission protocol for real-time
applications such as VoIP, and
Diff-serv as a basic QoS strategy. This
internetworking research is focusing on
the question how to guarantee best possible end-to-end quality of
service. This task will result as scientifical
publications in journals and conferences.
WINNER is funded by
TEKES, Nokia and
Finnish
Defence Forces.
