The RICA (Reliable and Adaptable Intelligent Networks) project arises in response to emerging challenges in network management for critical applications. This project aims to investigate the operation and management of emerging networks, with a focus on applications that require high reliability and strong guarantees of network performance and security. New applications, such as teleoperation, telemedicine, Industry 4.0, autonomous vehicles, and cooperative work using virtual and augmented reality, require guarantees of low latency and low loss rates, as well as more or less constant throughput.

Resilient Systems for Intelligent EnvironmentsThis project seeks to comprehensively investigate these challenges and implement solutions to enhance data quality and develop context-aware systems that can adapt to change. The underlying hypothesis is that applications and models that integrate heterogeneous contextual data are more robust and accurate for monitoring, prediction, and analysis. These systems are also more resilient to environmental changes, allowing for more informed decision-making.
Ler maisThe expected massive growth of mobile Internet traffic in 5G mobile networks introduces the need to change the operators’ networks. Such networks require a drastic transformation toward open, scalable, and elastic ecosystems that support new types of communication. The PORVIR-5G project will develop and demonstrate a programmable fronthaul and backhaul integrating wireless with optical-packet networks and cloud solutions.

Tactical NetworksSeveral sources of randomness can change the radio link data rate at the edge of tactical networks. Simulations and field experiments define these sources of randomness indirectly by choosing the mobility pattern, communication technology, number of nodes, terrain, obstacles, and so on.

Data Fusion on Intelligent Transportation SystemsUrban mobility deals with the movement of people and cargo in urban environments and has become a challenge with the constant growth of the global population. As a consequence of such an increase, more data has become available, which allows new information technologies to improve the mobility systems.
