Abstract:
Routing strategies in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) are somewhat more complex than regular routing in classic wired networks. MANET nodes need to dynamically change their routing paths in order to adapt to the changing topology and the possible interruptions caused by possible limited availability of certain nodes and links. IETF proposes different protocols and algorithms to provide the necessary flexibility. Both datalink layer (such as 6LoWPAN path definition and frame forwarding) and pure cognitive networking solutions have been evaluated by the developers of picoTCP as possibilities to provide the best design for TCP/IP over MANET in embedded systems. Developing OLSR, AODV and 6LoWPAN routing in mesh networks of small embedded nodes has posed non-trivial challenges, particularly on the validation of the solutions.
We will briefly describe the findings of our research, some challenges we had to face during the development and how we used a real testbed to model emulators and tools to shorten the development time.

Abstract:
Fed4FIRE is the European FP7 project which federates a large number of testbeds in Europe (and beyond). For experimenters this means that you can use a single account and a single tool to access these testbeds. As such, the barrier for using multiple testbeds to evaluate your solution in different environments or for using multiple types of hardware becomes very small.
This demo will show how this looks like in practice.

Abstract:
This demo will show how to set up and execute simple Cognitive Radio experiment. It will be conducted remotely on the TWIST testbed. Participants will have the possibility to perform presented experiment on their own during the event to gain basic experience of cognitive radio experimentation.

Abstract:
The demo will show that the free space within the LTE Uplink spectrum can be utilized by secondary GFDM cognitive radio devices. This demonstrates, for instance, how machine type systems can be connected for data exchange or to report information back to the internet without disturbing primary systems and without using additional dedicated spectrum resources

Abstract:
A four-participant game that illustrates the dynamic choices a cognitive radio must make to avoid interfering with the incumbent user of the spectrum and to coexist with other cognitive radios. Participants use joysticks to control the bandwidth, frequency of operation, and gain of signals transmitted and received by a software defined radio

Abstract:
To enable Cognitive Radio (CR), sensing capabilities are vital. We show a live demo of low power Spectrum Sensing equipment from Imec and JSI. A common transceiver Application Programming Interface (API), specified in the Wireless Innovation Forum (WInnF), allows standard interactions with the sensing hardware, and visualization is done with gnu radio.

Abstract:
Wireless networks of the future will be characterised by heterogeneity of spectrum usage regimes, of resource ownership models, and of radio access technologies. Sharing is a major enabler of such service-driven networks; it can come in the guise of joint ventures that hold the ownership of mobile network infrastructure, or bilateral agreements between operators, or, in the near future, more dynamic and flexible sharing mechanisms. This goes beyond opportunistic access to spectrum, and will also encopass the sharing of infrastructure, sensors, backhaul, processing, storage, etc. We will outline our vision of the dynamic establishment of virtual networks from a pool of wireless resources from large and small operators, as well as crowdsourced from end users. These virtual wireless networks will be service-aware and built on a programmable network substrate, in response to a specific service need.
