Leading experts from the following projects will participate:
Network of EXcellence in Wireless Applications and technologY (an IST project)
The NEXWAY project is a long-term education and research co-operation of leading European
universities and academic institutes. NEXWAY provides the foundation of such a knowledge network and has
its role into the 6th framework time scale ensuring a smooth expansion of academic networking in the area of
research for wireless systems.
The vision of NEXWAY is to build a strong and open team based upon a pool of Academic and
Independent R&D Organizations with international reputation in the field of Wireless Communications in order
to serve the European Society and Industry.
The NEXWAY team will technically focus on topics related to technologies as radio access,
propagation issues, antennae, middleware, wireless IP, short range Systems, Cellular systems, High Altitude
Platforms (HAP) and satellite systems, seen from the technologist point of view as well as from the User
Requirements.
The main mission of NEXWAY is to co-ordinate and consolidate academic research and to stimulate
pan-European education activities in the area of Wireless Systems.
The mission of NEXWAY is also to be a catalyst that creates the right environment for the long-term
success of the wireless community in Europe. This mission will be facilitated by the close co-operation of
NEXWAY with more industrially oriented fora in order to co-ordinate research and strengthen cooperation
between industry and academia, whilst maintaining its Academic Nature.
Finally, as one of the activities of the last phase of the 5th Framework, NEXWAY seeks to provide a
proof of concept for a new type of Network of Excellence following the specified goals and priorities of the 6-
th framework.
Promotion and Dissemination of the Mobile Information Society (an IST project)
The objective of PRODEMIS is to facilitate the cooperation, collaboration, and exchange of information
between the project teams of the IST Mobile Domain projects. It also aims to provide the project teams with
updated information on international research and technological developments within the area of mobile
communications through technology watch. The technological developments, trends and state-of-the art are
documented and disseminated through technical publications and fora to provide timely and relevant input to
European R&D, standardization and regulatory activities.
The overall objective of the DRiVE project is:
· to enable spectrum efficient high-quality wireless IP in a heterogenous multi-radio environment.
· to deliver in-vehicle multimedia-services, which ensure universally available access to information and
support for education and entertainment.
To achieve this objective the DRIVE project addresses the convergence of cellular and broadcast
networks to lay the foundation for innovative IP-based multimedia services. Therefore, DRiVE tackles two key
issues:
1. Inter-working of different radio systems (GSM, GPRS, UMTS, DAB, DVB-T) in a common frequency range
with dynamic spectrum allocation.
2. Co-operation between network elements and applications in an adaptive manner.
