COST Action 290: WiQoST – Traffic and QoS Management in Wireless Multimedia Networks
This
research Action is funded by the European Coordination in the field
of Scientific and Technical Research (COST), which is part of the European
Science Foundation (ESF), and will run from March 2004 until June 2008.
For more information se the COST Action
290 website.
Scope
The
main objective of the Action is to increase the knowledge on future
advanced Multiservice Wireless Networks (MWNs).
Special attention is given to Quality of Service and related aspects
in both access networks and core networks in the presence of mixed multimedia
traffic. To accomplish this, new analytical tools, software implementations
and prototypes have to be developed and validated. Four broad areas
encompass different interrelated aspects for future MWNs. In particular,
important research tasks to be addressed are: the analysis of the impact
of multi-class traffics on network design and dimensioning; the definition
of techniques to provide adequate QoS differentiation among traffic
classes; the identification of new network planning criteria to cope
with the integration of heterogeneous traffic flows; the definition
of new services able to provide the requested multimedia contents to
users on the move.
