1 IntroductionThis deliverable presents the dissemination plan and use plan for the consortium of the 5thFramework IST-2000-25394 project MobyDick (Mobility and Differentiated Services in aFuture IP Network).

While the dissemination plan in principle contains material and information, which isintended for public use and presentation, the use plan is made publically available as well.For that reason the full deliverable D0601 will remain classified as public.

The document is structured in two major parts. The first part in Section 2 presents anddiscussed the dissemination plan of the project, focussing on public visibility, standards andopen source contributions, project cooperations, and particular MobyDick research resultsdissemination by presentations and research papers. The second part in Section 3 coversthe use plan, which the opportunities the MobyDick project is preparing and challenging,and the individual strategies each of the project member affiliations is following based onwork undertaken in MobyDick.

2 Dissemination PlanThe strategy of MobyDick to disseminate the project results has several strands.• Public visibility in the Internet (URL: http://www.ist-mobydick.org/)• Contribution to standards• Contribution of open source implementations• Cooperation with other projects• Presentation of results in terms of papers and other contributions in appropriate groups,

seminars, and conferences.

2.1 Public Visibility in the Internet

Project descriptions and other relevant activities from MobyDick and its partners aredocumented and publicly announced at the MobyDick web-site. In addition, a brief andconcise project data sheet has been produced, to enable a quick and precise overview ofMobyDick goals and methods applied. Finally, the project has been and will be presented atvarious opportunities.

2.1.1 MobyDick Web-site

The MobyDick web-site is maintained by the MobyDick project management and it islocated at the coordinator’s premises accessible via the URL http://www.ist-mobydick.org/.A current version of the top page screen-shot is depicted in Figure 1.

The page will include a public sector, where MobyDick news are placed, public deliverablesare accessible in the future, and results of MobyDick are located.

2.1.2 MobyDick Project Data Sheet

The MobyDick project has produced a project information leaflet, which will be accessiblevia the Web site and is included in the annex of this deliverable as well (cf. Section 5.2). Itcovers in a single page the overall information on the objectives and issues MobyDick istargeting at.

2.1.3 Official Project Presentation

The available project presentation on MobyDick’s objectives, work package descriptions,timing, scenarios for trials, as well as architectural basics can be accessed at the appendixof this document. This document has been prepared to enable interested third parties toachieve in a concise and fast manner all necessary information related to the MobyDickproject.

2.2 Contribution to Standards

The development of wireless broadband networks and the support of mobility requires asignificant number of technical solutions, which will have be standardized due tointeroperability reasons. The current impact of existing solutions and technology onwireless and mobile communications remains small, mainly due to a larger degree ofcomplexity than expected. This originates in the problem area of Internet models to besettled on top of wireless technology. The basic building blocks available comprise an IP-based mobility support in terms of IPv6 driven by the IETF (Internet Engineering TaskForce). However, any of these Internet standards remain a little on their own and have notdriven the widespread use in various areas. Therefore, the provision of new standards forprotocols, architectures, and even sometimes interfaces or Application ProgramingInterfaces (API) are an essential enabler for a larger dissemination of mobility-related work.

Standardization bodies relevant to MobyDick include: • IETF, in particular

♦ Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (aaa)♦ IP Routing for Wireless/Mobile Hosts (mobileip) ♦ Context and Micro-mobility Routing (seamoby) ♦ Differentiated Services (diffserv)♦ Robust Header Compression (rohc)

• MWIF (Mobile Wireless Internet Forum)• 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project)• 3GPP2 (3rd Generation Partnership Project Two)

2.3 Contribution of Open Source Implementations

Besides WP4 (an open source implementation of important and enhanced functions formajor portions of an AAAC server) and WP2 (the open source implementation of MobileIPv6) no further open source software will be developed. In addition, in support of WP1 toWP5 on layer 2, a real-time UMTS/TDD (Time Division Duplex) platform is being designedwith an open-architecture at both hardware and software levels and it will be releasedunder a GNU public license.

2.4 Cooperation with other Projects

The MobyDick project is funded within the framework of the key action line 4 “Mobile,Satellite and Personal Communications” as presented at the URL http://www.cordis.lu/ist/ka4/mobile/index.htm. In this key action line various projects are funded and some of themstarted clustering. MobyDick is one of the projects belonging to the cluster “System beyond3G” (cf. URL http://www.cordis.lu/ist/ka4/mobile/beyond3g.htm). This cluster in particularcovers eighteen projects. For the time being three projects are good candidates for co-operation with MobyDick, as outlined in the following subsections.

Beside the participation in the “System beyond 3G” cluster, the project MobyDick plans toset-up an IPv6 related sub-cluster. This sub-cluster will cover IP mobility, Quality-of-Service, and AAA issues in the framework of the next generation Internet Protocol IPv6.

2.4.1 BRAIN: Broadband Radio Access for IP-based Networks

While detailed information are available at the URL http://www.ist-brain.org/, BRAIN’s mainobjectives of the BRAIN project are: • To facilitate the development of a seamless access to existing and emerging IP-based

broadband applications and services for mobile users in global markets. • To propose an open architecture for wireless broadband Internet access, which will

allow for an evolution form fixed Internet, emerging/mobile Internet specifications, andUMTS/GSM.

• To facilitate new business opportunities for operators, service providers, and contentproviders to offer high-speed (up to 20 Mbit/s) service complementary to existing mobileservices.

• To contribute actively to global standardization bodies in necessary time-scales toimpact significantly international standardization.

2.4.2 MIND: Mobile IP-based Network Developments

The MIND project is the follow-up project of the BRAIN project and it covers theimplementation and the evaluation of selected BRAIN results, as well as new conceptualwork.

A Web-site is not available for the time being.

2.4.3 WINE GLASS: Wireless IP NEtwork as a Generic platform for Location Aware Service Support

This project exploits the potential of IP-based wireless mobile multimedia networking inpublic and business contexts, by means of UTRAN and WLAN respectively (cf. URL http://domobili.cselt.it/WineGlass/). The wireless Internet test-bed will be constructed around anIP backbone, which could as well be the Internet. The UMTS environment will be composedof IP-based UMTS core network with emulated W-CDMA-based UTRAN access. TheWLAN environment will be made up of intranets with commercial WLAN access.

With this test-bed, support of mobility and soft-guaranteed QoS will be investigated at theIP level in both the contexts of the IP backbone and IP-based UMTS core network. TheProject will also address such support in the UMTS W-CDMA FDD mode. Besides, alsoinvestigated will be the associated issues that may arise in the interworking of mobility andQoS between UMTS, WLAN, and the IP backbone.

Location- and QoS-aware application services will be conceived to exploit the support ofmobility and soft-guaranteed QoS offered by the underlying wireless Internet architecture.Specifically, session/call control, possibly based on SIP/R SP or H.323, will be enhanced toincorporate capability negotiation and location information functionality.

This project will be performed in two phases. Phase 1 technical activities will concentrateon technical requirements and expected results for the project; hardware and softwaredevelopment and integration requirements for the wireless Internet testbed; assessment ofintermediate research results with respect to mobility support in the wireless Internetarchitecture and location-aware application services. Technical activities in the projectphase 2 will include the final integration of the wireless Internet testbed; assessment of finalresearch results with respect to support of mobility and soft-guaranteed QoS in the wirelessInternet architecture, as well as location- and QoS-aware application services. During theproject, feedback from continuous technical assessments to technical development willtake place to ensure high quality of the project results.

3 Use PlanThis section of the Use Plan contains the descriptions of all MobyDick partner’s plans touse the results of the project. It include business aspects as well as academic aspects. Thematerial at this stage of Section 3.1 is based on the Technical Annex of MobyDick anddirectly relates the use plan with the motivations the project once was driven by. The projectis convinced that the market as well as technology context has not changed, there is still anemerging need for a solution on the questions posed in the Technical Annex.

3.1 Opportunities

The definition, implementation, and evaluation of an IPv6-based mobility-enabled end-to-end QoS (Quality-of-Service) architecture starting from the IETF’s (Internet EngineeringTask Force) QoS models, Mobile-IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6), and AAA(Authentication Authorization, and Accounting) framework, to be carried out by MobyDick,will provide a major contribution to a network technology discipline (that of TerrestrialWireless System and Networks), which has the most profound impact on the socio-economic situation of the general public since it involves both professional and privateusers. This innovative approach, covering layer 2 technology, the only layer 3 protocol ofinterest, IP, and example applications, is driven by trends observed at current wirelessmarkets.

Considering the market opportunity, the following - nowadays typical - Figure 2 depicts thenumber of Internet connected handsets or mobile hosts. This number will meet the numberof fixed to the Internet connected hosts in approximately 2003. Therefore, a large potentialfor mobile data communication services is envisioned.

At the same time more and more mobile and portable hosts will require and eventually haveintegrated interfaces to connect to various kinds of (access-)networks, such as cellularnetworks, WaveLANs and fixed, wired LANs (Local Area Network). In addition to horizontalhandover mechanisms (roaming in different cells) established in cellular networks, thismulti-access network situation requires vertical (connection to different type of access

networks) handover solutions. To meet these requirements, MobyDick will develop itsuniform IP-convergence architecture for ubiquitous Internet access: IPv6 and AAA, the keyingredients of MobyDick’s approach to mobility, QoS and AAA are extremely well suited toprovide added value. Both IPv6 and AAA are considered - both at the European level andwithin the IETF - to be a technical necessity for ubiquitous access for the next-generationInternet. In addition, IPv6 and AAA a clearly fields where Europe does not lag behind theUS - both with respect to influence in the relevant standardization bodies and products. Inaddition, the extensions of AAA into the areas of AAAC (covering additionally charging andauditing features) will be an important step forward.

3.1.1 European Synergy

Involving an international consortium of telecommunication operators, manufacturers, andresearch institutes, complementary in interest and expertise, MobyDick’s solution willleverage this development into business opportunities and user benefits at the Europeanand international level. While in principle, given the expertise, MobyDick’s IPv6- and AAA-based solutions could be developed on a national basis, it is obvious that for reasons ofpresence, weight, consensus, acceptance on an International scale, the project is a clearcandidate for European and International co-operation.

3.1.2 Manufacturer’s View Point

For manufacturers involved in the MobyDick Consortium, exploitation of results of theProject offers a key strategic opportunity for the longer-term development of their telecombusiness, beyond UMTS Release 2000, both in Europe and globally. Manufacturers arealready active in some standardization bodies (such as ITU and ETSI) and MobyDick willoffer a framework to transform this investment and participation into a substantialcommercial opportunity on the time frame of 2001 to 2010. In addition, the presence ofmajor global players, such as NEC and Motorola will provide greater leverage on bodiessuch as the IETF; it is very doubtful if manufacturers could have significant influence onthese bodies by acting alone.

MobyDick manufacturers all supply aspects of fixed and mobile telecommunicationsequipment such as base stations, access, and switching infrastructure, mobile terminal,AAA servers, QoS capable equipment. In all these fields MobyDick offers an opportunity tobuild world-wide market share, if the Project achieves its goals. The experience gained inthis Project will help positioning the partners well to introduce a range of: terminals, accessinfrastructure, and mobile multimedia applications for extended UMTS Release 2000 andWLAN (Wireless Local Area Network).

MobyDick will also offer manufacturers shorter-term exploitation benefits. MobyDick ispredicated on all-IP and IP applications (Voice-over-IP) and IP network equipment (routerand server). It will also provide support for UMTS deployment, since MobyDick willspecifically extend UMTS, and give confidence that some of the deficiencies of UMTS willbe abolished. This will provide short-term growth in the UMTS market to the benefit of theentire European mobile telecommunications industry.

3.1.3 Operator’s View Point

For operators MobyDick will offer the opportunity to develop new services. Users arebecoming used to data rates of 10 Mbit/s on existing and advanced Ethernet, fixed,connections - playing videos, games, and holding video conferences. MobyDick will allowthese services to be offered in a mobile context. In addition, the fixed-mobile convergence



Public

Version 1.0 of 40

offered by using IP over a common core of routers, with three access technologies-respectively Ethernet, IEEE 802.11 and W-CDMA (Wideband Code Division MultipleAccess), will allow operators to offer a common look and feel to services accessed fromanywhere at anytime. Finally, MobyDick will provide support for new, mobile-aware,applications. Thus, when browsers are started they will be given location information andusers can then be provided with location-relevant information. This will be tested withERASMUS exchange students. During their stay in the foreign university (either in Berlin orStuttgart), students from Madrid can have audio access to lectures inhome university or toWeb-servers in their home country with specific information.

Operators will be able to exploit MobyDick to reduce costs for mobile communications.Additionally, they will be able to develop cost models and billing mechanisms for mobile IPQoS traffic. With the use of AAA architecture, they can set-up secure interconnection forbusiness cases.

3.1.4 Universities/Research Center’s View Point

Universities will exploit MobyDick through an increase in know-how and ability to supportthe European mobile telecommunications industry. At the conclusion of the Project they willbe in a strong position to supply technical support and trained engineers to the Europeanwork force in mobile telecommunications.

Research Centers within the Consortium will be in a position to support the migration ofoperators from second generation systems to UMTS and MobyDick-based IP architectssupporting mobile multimedia delivery. They will create competencies to support industrialpartners and SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprise). Through liaison with bodies, such as3GPP, it is expected that early exploitation will be seen in the form of acceleration of theintroduction of new services, even on updated second (e.g., GPRS, General Packet RadioSystem) and third generation networks.

The project MobyDick will have a strong impact on further research and education of thecomputer scientist, telecommunications engineer, and electrical engineer of tomorrow.

3.2 Individual Partner Strategies

Based on these overall MobyDick-relevant discussion of opportunities and challenges,each individual partner of the MobyDick consortium expresses separately and explicitlytheir business or academic use plan.

3.2.1 T-Nova, Deutsche Telekom Innovationsgesellschaft mbH, Berlin, D

T-Nova is Deutsche Telekom’s research and development unit that focuses on creating,developing, testing, and introducing innovative products, services, networks/network-elements in the area of telecommunications and information technology.

architecture work, as well as the development and implementation of MobyDickmechanisms will open new business opportunities for the mobile service provider (T-Mobile) and the backbone provider (business unit Data Communication) of DeutscheTelekom.

For the purpose of disseminating the results of the MobyDick project, T-Nova will establishstrong co-operations with business units inside Deutsche Telekom AG responsible mobilewireless communication. It will involve T-Mobile, as the mobile service provider of DeutscheTelekom, in the field trial activities of MobyDick. Furthermore, Berkom will disseminate theresults of MobyDick by workshops and technical papers addressed to standardizationbodies and conferences. Regularly meetings and workshops are agreed upon to widelyexchange project information and to influence product developments especially towards T-Mobile and the business unit Data Communication.

3.2.2 NEC Network Development Laboratories, Heidelberg, D

NEC Corporation with his over 100 years of business experience, global operations, and acutting-edge technology in numerous fields, is a leading provider of Internet solutions. NEChas structured its business into three in-house companies, namely NEC Solutions, NECNetworks, and NEC Electron Devices. NEC Networks provides Internet solutions tocustomers including network operators, Internet service providers and broadcasters, and isthe primary internal customer of NEC Europe Ltd. Network Laboratories Heidelberg. Themission of our labs is to develop innovative Internet solutions by integrating multimedia andmobility for high-quality and truly ubiquitous access to Internet services. Our labs inHeidelberg co-operate with labs and research centres in Japan and the USA, bringingtogether and using a vast amount of international expertise in mobility and the Internet.

Two areas of particular interest to NEC Corporation are Internet and mobility. In each ofthese areas, NEC aims to be the technology leader with its products. Among these rangecore routers of the CX5000 series, edge routers of the IX5000 series, and the CX6800 QoSServers to name a few. For all these products, NEC is one of the few companies with astrong strategic focus on IPv6, as shown through the early presence of IPv6 in its productrange. In addition, NEC is committed to implementing Mobile IP in its products. In themobility area, NEC is the leading provider of W-CDMA equipment and has provided W-CDMA equipment and terminals for the world’s first two operational UMTS networks,namely the UMTS networks of Manx Telecom (Isle of Man) and NTT DoCoMo in Japan.Besides its strong position in the Japanese market, NEC is currently increasing itspresence in Europe, both in terms of marketing and sales and in research anddevelopment. NEC is actively promoting its latest technology to increase the speed ofdeployment not only 3G and beyond, but of IPv6 based Internet as well. This will generatenew business opportunities and jobs in Europe, as shown by Telecom Modus Ltd., a jointventure 3G development company established in 1998 between NEC Corporation of Japanand ERA Technology Ltd. in the UK.

With this in mind, NEC business units have from the very beginning shown a strong anddirect interest in the Moby Dick project. NEC Network Laboratories Heidelberg regularlypresents results of the Moby Dick project to NEC business units as part of its routinedissemination work. Results also flow into internal reports and into overall considerations ofarchitecture and strategy within NEC as a whole. Beyond this, software will also betransferred to development units in Japan and to Telecom Modus Ltd. in the UK, wherethese results are used as an integral part of their product development.

3.2.3 University Carlos III of Madrid, UC3M, Madrid, E

University Carlos III of Madrid is in charge of higher education and research on technicaland non-technical areas. The Telematics Department is involved in education and researchon broadband networks, advanced Internet networking and applications, as well asintelligent agents. In this scenario MobyDick project represents one of the most importantprojects in the field of mobility and QoS support.

Concerning to the dissemination, UC3M has different interests. First, to create a testbedwith heterogeneous access networks connected by IPv6 QoS aware networks, able todemonstrate the mobility of terminals and users as well as QoS support for them in thiscomplex environment. UC3M will host one of the two trial sites in which real users(SOCRATES-ERASMUS students) will test the MobyDick systems. Feedback from theusers will be used for the evolution of the distance teaching activities which today areperformed inside the UC3M.

Second, UC3M is interested in contributing as much as possible to the future “All-IP”network concept by researching and publishing main results of MobyDick in conferencesand magazines.

Finally, as an entity of research and teaching, UC3M is interested in improving and evolvingthe state of the art of these technologies, as well as to lead, together with MobyDickpartners, their evolution in order to be able to transfer this knowledge in our teachingactivities in the next future.

3.2.4 Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule, Zürich, CH

The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zürich will work on the support of all designand implementation tasks for MobyDick in collaboration with industry partners as well asacademic research institutions. As being an academic institution by itself, ETH is activelyinvolved in the research community of networking, Internet-based communications, andeconomic control mechanisms for traffic management. Therefore, it is expected to publish,present, and demonstrate the project as well as its results in journals, conferences, andworkshops as well as to industrial partners are interesting organizations. Results in the areaof AAA, AAAC, mobility, and Quality-of-Service (QoS) work in mobile networks will bedistributed internationally.

The dissemination strategy of ETH focusses mainly on the integration of research resultsinto its main business area: teachings upcoming student generations with up-to-dateknowledge and experience. Therefore, the developed research results will be used at ETHZürich for teaching innovation, and, whenever possible, for test-bed evaluations in anacademic production environment. In particular, the technical questions on the Internet, theIP protocol, the AAA Architecture, and security issues will be used to teach in graduatecourses, to provide a modern and up-to-date education of electrical engineering andcomputer science students. In particular, the mobile aspects of the project are in theprocess of stimulating a preparation of a mobile lecture in addition to the stronger focus ofan existing seminar on “Internet Economics” to mobile business models and technology forInternet communications. Finally, the results developed within MobyDick will form the basisfor future projects proposals in the area of mobile networking.

Engineering (IND). Under the acronym HLRS (Höchstleistungsrechenzentrum Stuttgart),RUS is the first German National super computer center. The HLRS hardware is planned,financed, and operated as a public-private company (operated by “hww”) comprising thedebis Systemhaus, Porsche AG as well as the universities of Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, andHeidelberg. RUS is also operating the state of Baden-Württemberg science network andthe campus network of the University of Stuttgart. IND research activities are concentratedon distributed systems and communication networks.

Within this context and with respect to dissemination, three major fields of interest are to bementioned. RUS has to be prepared for the time the “cellular phone generation” joins theuniversity. Wireless and mobile technologies have to be integrated into lessons andoperative services of a university with about 20000 students dispersed over the city ofStuttgart. This requires a network platform integrating wired and wireless as well as mobiletechnologies, including the possibility to roam between networks based on differenttechnologies as addressed within MobyDick. From a service point of view, RUS isinterested especially in the dissemination of MobDick’s AAA results.

The interests of the IND are twofold: expected results in research area will be published inconferences as well as journals and introduced to standardization bodies like the IETF.

RUS and the IND are highly interested in running the MobyDick field trial to giveERASMUS, SOCRATES, and especially IND’s international master students theopportunity to gain experience with new network technologies in the context of teaching.Here, interests of RUS are focussed on operational and service aspects, e.g., AAA,whereas IND is interested in including technologies into their teaching activities.Experiments of the MobyDick field trial will also contribute to University of Stuttgart’songoing “Virtual University Activities”.

3.2.6 GMD Fokus, Berlin, D

GMD FOKUS is one of the leading research institutes in Germany. The work of FOKUScovers design, specification, implementation and consulting in the following areas:advanced network technologies and systems, global heterogeneous networking andinternet technologies, mobile and broadband wireless communications, testing,interoperability and performance evaluation of distributed communication systems,interactive multimedia applications, distributed object technology, platforms and services,intelligent mobile agent technology and electronic commerce.

MobyDick is one of important projects being conducted by GMD FOKUS in cooperationwith other research institutes and partners from the industry. GMD FOKUS will use theresults of MobyDick to evaluate and improve its ongoing development of an open andgeneric AAA infrastructure for all IP services towards the status of a pre-product. This willprovide the basis for interested SMEs and for spin-off companies to develop products forthe Telecommunications and Electronic Market industry. As a research institute GMDFOKUS actively participates in the standardization process in international (ISO, ITU-T)and industrial consortia (e.g., OMG, TMForum, DAVIC, IETF) and is intending to contributethe results and experience gained in the MobyDick project to the standardization process.The areas to be addressed are particularly AAA, Mobility and QoS in the future IP networkwhere these factors will be instrumental in the success of IP telephony, audio/videostreaming and other high bandwidth QoS enabled applications for mobile consumers.Furthermore, contributions will be made to the IRTF AAAArch group, as MobyDick looksvery closely at the aspects of Authentication, Authorization and Accounting in all IPnetworks. The access to the network could be over Ethernet, xDSL, ISDN, WLAN or W-

CDMA etc. MobyDick offers a unique opportunity for developing and evaluating a genericAAA infrastructure for heterogeneous all IP networks. This encompasses the inter-workingand interoperability of different network technologies. Another benefit is the possibility tocheck the applicability and validity of the architecture being developed within the MobyDickproject through trials with real-life scenarios. MobyDick is in line with the overall researchplan of FOKUS concerning an open communication systems infrastructure and advancedtelecommunication services management.

The expected research results will improve the excellence of FOKUS through publications,workshops and conferences and will also enable it to use these results as a basis for furtherproject acquisition (70% of the total FOKUS budget is based on externally funded industrialand research projects) and pre-product development.

3.2.8 Centre de Recherche de Motorola, Paris, F

One of the strategic goals of Motorola research is ‘Beyond 3G’. Such approach has animpact for the next generation communication systems. MobyDick is viewed by Motorola asan excellent means to further investigate issues concerning IPv6-based Beyond-3Gnetworking. In MobyDick, Motorola is interested in 3 aspects of Beyond-3G networking:mobility, QoS, and management.

Concerning the technology under investigation, mobility, QoS, and management play amajor role in the framework of MobyDick.

Mobility is the aspect that Motorola concentrated in the WINE GLASS project, especially inthe enhancement the IPv6 mobility capability and its integration with security functions. Asa major player in radio communication technologies, Motorola aims to apply enhanced IPv6technologies for the convergence of mobile telecommunications and the Internet to enablea seamless mobile Internet, beyond the current capability of mere wireless access to theInternet. MobyDick provides a perfect research context that Motorola will leverage to furtherdevelop the necessary IP mobility capability for systems beyond 3G.

QoS in the current IP network doesn’t fulfill the requirements of the future applications thatrequires a specified level of service classes to be supported. Motorola is the WP2 leader inMobyDick to develop QoS technologies to support mobile nodes. Motorola aims to designand implement a consistent, realistic and applicable architecture for the QoS interactionbetween different technologies (W-CDMA and IP) within and between differentadministrative domains in various scenarios. Besides, Motorola will also investigate moreefficient transport protocol for wireless environments.

Motorola believes that the architecture of Beyond-3G system should be based onadministrative domains defined by AAA. Motorola will investigate the interaction andintegration of support of mobility, QoS, and AAA, to ensure efficient and effectiveoperations.

With respect to added values, Motorola provides research and implementation efforts.

Motorola expects MobyDick to contribute to standardization of Beyond-3G systems. Inparticular, Motorola would like to help promote relevant Moby Dick results in IETF, WWRF,etc. Motorola also believes that it is beneficial to leverage efforts and establish synergy withresearchers from various universities and industry research centres. Such an experiencewill help move technologies forward together.

MobyDick will implement a testbed to experiment, understand, validate, and evaluate theMobyDick research results. Motorola expects a high quality implementation and integrationprocess for the testbed as well as good documentation for the whole process.

3.2.9 EURECOM, Sophia-Antipolis, F

Eurecom’s mobile communications department has research and teaching activities in bothphysical and networking layer aspects of mobile communication systems. Our group is alsocurrently active in implementation aspects of 3G radio systems, and one of its mainactivities in this area is the development of a real-time UMTS/TDD platform. This platform isbeing designed with an open-architecture at both hardware and software levels and isprimarily software-based, i.e. a wide-band software radio. The platform software will bereleased under a GNU public license to promote academic collaboration in the area of 3Gsystems.



Public

Version 1.0 of 40

Eurecom’s platform will be used and potentially duplicated to varying degrees of complexityby the members of the MobyDick consortium. Moreover, certain implementation choicesrelated to networking aspects will adopt the architectural models developed in the contextof MobyDick, namely those related to the interconnection of UMTS/TDD and an all-IPv6backbone.

Being an academic institution, our resources are clearly limited, and thus EURECOMcannot hope to develop all aspects of the network infrastructure on top of its platform. It isour goal, therefore, to use the development of the other members of the MobyDickconsortium to augment the scope of our work, during and after the life of MobyDick. Theintent is to make beneficial use of the open architecture policy to pool resources andprovide a very complete real-time platform to both our researchers and students as well asto other research bodies and educational institutions.

In terms of research, we are primarily interested in the end-to-end IPv6 architectureproposed by MobyDick and the conclusions that can be drawn regarding:1 IPv6 and UMTS Quality-of-Service (QoS) mapping2 Radio resource optimization for mobile multimedia services3 Mobility management4 Handover strategies5 Security6 UMTS/IEEE 802.11 inter-operability

It is hoped that our openness policy will lead to similar open-architecture projects on top ofour platform both at the European and national (French) level. This is already the case withthe following projects funded by the French Ministry of Finance under the label of the RNRT(http://www.telecom.gouv.fr): PLATON, ERMITAGES, and @IRS++.

3.2.10 University of Cracow, PL

The Department of Telecommunication of the AGH Technical University of Cracow is aresearch and educational centre in telecommunications and information technology. Theprimary focus of the Department is to offer high quality courses on the networkingtechnologies and trends in the telecommunications. The courses are structured intothematic blocks including radio communication, optical networks, broadbandcommunications, multimedia, and encompass numerous aspects such as technology,protocols, traffic modelling, network planning, performance evaluation and optimization,and others. The courses are delivered to the students of high education in the form oflectures, practical courses, laboratory courses and projects. The Department also providesindividual courses for native and foreign students.

Therefore, the efforts to disseminate the results of the MobyDick project will concentrate onthe proliferation of knowledge by means of lectures, conferences, journal papers andconsultancy.

The emphasis will be put on the upgrade of the educational process, which is mandatory tokeep-up the pace and stay competitive in the rapidly evolving telecommunication industry.In this area the Department of Telecommunications is planning to upgrade and complementthe teaching programme, in particular the subjects related to wireless communication, inorder to exploit the potentials resulting from participation in the Project.

The Department also considers the introduction of a specialized course on Mobile IP andAAA, to enable the students to explore further the challenges of IP in the context of mobilitymanagement.



Public

of 40 Version 1.0

Now, it has become a good tradition of the Department to involve students of the fifth yearof studies into the activities carried in the Department. There is a common consensus, thatthe problems that are the subject of MobyDick project are excellent problems to befollowed, and further explored by the students heading for the degree of Master ofSciences. MobyDick is considered here as an important source of concepts, a good casestudy with an advanced reference architecture. Study of these problems by students ischallenging as it requires inter-speciality knowledge of radio network interface (W-CDMA),capacity management, operation of the IP protocol over specific link layers, andunderstanding of quality of service issues in packet networks.

Both lectures and optional courses will be accompanied by practical courses. Severaltechniques are considered, out of which pure theoretical work, simulation or emulation, andalso experiments in an operational network are considered, depending on the availability ofthe infrastructure. Apportioning of courses into compulsory, optional and master thesis willintroduce flexibility in the teaching paths.

A new but quickly growing field of education are the extra-mural studies. This type ofeducation has been introduced in response to a strong demand of the companies, willing toupdate and extend the knowledge of telecommunications of the employees. The knowledgeresulting from participation in the Project supported by the experience gathered during thefield trial is a much wanted knowledge, that will draw the audience. This kind ofdissemination will be carried on with care, in order to respect the commitment to protect theintellectual property rights of the partners.

A quickly growing and changing telecom market in Poland has created an increaseddemand for consultancy. Advanced radio communications and Internet access are now thedriving forces of these changes. The Department of Telecommunications responds to thedemand by sharing the expertise with the telecom operators. In this field the findings andconclusions of MobyDick will contribute to a better understanding of the problems, and willhelp to derive feasible scenarios for the deployment of wireless Internet access andwireless services.

In addition to the mainstream activities, the Department of Telecommunications each yearholds one or two conferences, that provide the people with an opportunity to share newconcepts and ideas. The collaborative research work carried in the Project provides avaluable seed for such discussions.

The overall objective of the above-listed activities is to point out a clear view of the feasibleevolutionary scenarios beyond 3G systems, which are still considered by many as theultimate target of wireless telecommunications industry, with no evolutionary scenariosbeyond it.

This combined approach for dissemination shall bring a substantial impact on thetelecommunication community in Poland as well as in other countries. It shall have theeffect both in terms of immediate results (e.g., coming from the publication of conferencepapers) and the long-term results (e.g., by means of education). As a result, it will leverageof the awareness of the prospective evolution strategies for the telecommunication market.

At the same time the Department of Telecommunications of the University of Mining andMetallurgy will strengthen its position as a leading educational and research centre fortelecommunications.

3.2.11 Forschungszentrum Telekommunikation Wien, FTW, Wien, A

Within the Kplus Competence Centers framework of the Austrian government, theTelecommunications Research Center Vienna (Forschungszentrum TelekommunikationWien, FTW) provides a unique focal point for telecommunications research in Austria,bringing together several university institutes and the research departments of about 15industrial partners, including the big players in the Austrian telecommunications market aswell as a couple of Small and Medium Enterprises (SME). The internal structure of FTW,composed of three major research areas A (Telecommunication Networks), B (SignalProcessing) and C (Mobile Networks), shows immediately that mobile networks and UMTSare already well-established as a major research focus. In this context, MobyDick isconsidered to be an important project for endorsing and extending the know-how in thementioned research areas A and C. Moreover, as a direct result of FTW’s participation inthis IST-project, several industry partners in the FTW consortium explicitly have expressedgreat and continuous interest in the research issues related to MobyDick. Therefore, it isplanned to create a new project (AIDA) within FTW which is devoted mainly to support anddeepen research in the areas of QoS, migration issues, inter-domain mobility and chargingfor mobile environments. Currently, the preparation phase of AIDA has just started, theproject begin itself is scheduled for early 2002.

Dissemination of specific know-how among all FTW partners has always been a leadingmotivation for the close cooperation between academia and industry that forms the core ofour research center. Our main knowledge dissemination strategy is based on a very shortfeedback-cycle between the FTW and industry via staff members from industrial partnersthat spend a certain amount of their time directly at the center. Moreover, regular full-daymember tutorials open to all interested industry partners use to include presentations bothon a survey and in-depth level. Similarly, external seminars and consulting activities providefurther possibilities for presenting project results to a larger audience. Finally, due to thesemi-academic environment we live in, lecturing technology of the future to interestedstudents and thesis supervision is as well a part of our day-to-day business as publicationwork for international journals and conferences.

Future IP NetworkIST-2000-25394

Project duration: 36 monthshttp://www.ist-mobydick.org/

Abstract:In order to continue to evolve 3rd Generation mobile and wireless infrastructures towards the Internet - targetingIST 2000 IV 5.2 "Terrestrial Wireless System and Networks", the project Moby Dick will define, implement,and evaluate an IPv6-based mobility-enabled end-to-end QoS architecture starting from the current IETF's QoSmodels, Mobile-IPv6, and AAA framework. A representative set of interactive and distributed multimediaapplications will serve to derive system requirements for the verification, validation, and demonstration of theMoby Dick architecture in a testbed comprising UMTS, 802.11 Wireless LANs and Ethernet. In case the existingapplications or the underlying architectures do not provide what is required, the necessary modification will beundertaken.The objectives of the project are split up into the following activities:• Definition of a common architecture integrating QoS, IPv6 mobility, and AAA (out of the separate

architectural approaches for each component currently provided by the IETF) with respect to wirelessissues.

• Implementation and evaluation of an IPv6-based end-to-end technological approach to fulfil therequirements of present and future mobile communication services.

• Implementation and evaluation of QoS models (e.g. Differentiated Services) in highly dynamic andheterogeneous network topologies (understanding of QoS models is normally restricted to relatively staticenvironments).

• Definition of a suitable charging concept which would enable permanent mobile IP based services on a largescale (a strong requirement related to AAA, but currently not a topic within the IETF).

• Trans-European trial to test the implementation by using SOKRATES-ERASMUS exchange students astest-users.

• Actively participate in IRTF (Internet Research Task Force) AAAArch (Authentication, Authorisation, andAccounting Architecture) working group, and monitor in particular ETSI, 3GPP (3rd Generation PartnershipProject), MWIF (Mobile Wireless Internet Forum), IEEE (in particular 802.11).

• Follow and actively influence ongoing relevant IETF standardisation activities in particular in the workinggroups.
