Equipex FIT- Future Internet of Things (2011-..., 1.064 k€)
The FIT projet is a national equipex (equipement d'excellence), headed by the Lip6 laboratory. As a member of Inria, Socrate is in charge of the development of an Experimental Cognitive Radio platform that should be used as test-bed for sdr terminals and cognitive radio experiments. This platform will be operational in 2013 for a duration of 7 years. To give a quick view, the user will have a way to configure and program through Internet several sdr platforms (mimo , siso , and baseband processing nodes).
ANR - Cormoran - “Cooperative and Mobile Wireless Body Area Networks for Group Navigation” (2012-2015, 150 keuros)
The Cormoran project targets to figure out innovative communication functionalities and radiolocation algorithms that could benefit from inter/intra-ban cooperation. More precisely, the idea is to enable accurate nodes/body location, as well as Quality of Service management and communications reliability (from the protocol point of view), while coping with inter-ban coexistence, low power constraints and complying with the IEEE 802.15.6 standard. The proposed solutions will be evaluated in realistic applicative scenarios, hence necessitating the development of adapted simulation tools and real-life experiments based on hardware platforms. For this sake, Cormoran will follow an original approach, mixing theoretical work (e.g. modelling activities, algorithms and cross-layer phy /mac /nwk design) with more practical aspects (e.g. channel and antennas measurement campaigns, algorithms interfacing with real platforms, demonstrations).
ANR - Idefix - “Intelligent DEsign of Future mobile Internet for enhanced eXperience” (2013-2016, 55 keuros)
The aim of IDEFIX project is to radically revisit the way technologies are evaluated and benchmarked by proposing novel performance evaluation tools, based on the latest developments in queuing theory, that are able to tackle the complexity of traffic profiles in future mobile networks. These tools are to be carefully adapted to the different technologies discussed within 3GPP, and then used to benchmark these technologies and perform pertinent choices among them. Furthermore, IDEFIX will not adopt a passive behavior limited to performance evaluation of technologies. It will, on the contrary, propose service and network control mechanisms that enforce Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) of users of different services. For this aim, this project puts together experts on performance evaluation tools and traffic engineering, whose world class research results are recognized in the telecommunication community. This expertise is complemented by another internationally recognized expertise on service and network control mechanisms and, for the first time in this field, by an expertise on network economy and decision-making in strategic investments. These academic and industrial experts will help two top actors in the world telecommunications industry, Alcatel Lucent and Orange, in their perpetual quest for producing the most efficient technologies and deploying networks with the best QoS.
ADR Green - “Green Networking” (2013-2015, 70 keuros)
This action is a part of the common lab of Inria and Alcatel Lucent Bell Labs. This action groups Urbanet and Socrate teams of Inria with the Bell Labs Vx team and adresses different aspects of Green Networking. Socrate works on the 'virtual cell concept' which deals with mobile centric cells in dense small cells networks.
Greentouch GTT project- “Interference Alignment” (2013-2014, 63 keuros)
The Greentouch GTT (Green transmission technology) project aims at proposiing new energy efficient transmission techniques, and focus specifically on the Energy efficiency - spectral efficiency (EE-SE) trade-off. Interference management is a critical issue and socrate aims at designing a dynamic and distributed approach allowing to cancel strong interfers by combining control theory and interference alignment principles.
FUI ECONHOME - “Energy efficient home networking” (2010-2014, 309 keuros)
The project aims at reducing the energy consumption of the home (multimedia) data networks, while maintaining the quality requirements for heterogeneous services and flows, and preserving, or even enhancing the overall system performance. the equipments under concern are residential gateways, set-top-boxes , plc modules, Wifi extenders, nas . The user equipment, such as smartphones, tablets or PCs are not concerned. The approach relies on combining both individual equipments IC and system level protocols that have to be eco-designed.
FUI SMACS - “SMart And Connected Sensors” (2013-2016, 267 keuros)
The SMACS projet targets the deployement of an innovating wireless sensor network dedicated to many domains sport, health and digital cities. The projet involves Socrate (Insavalor), Hikob and wireless broadcasting company Euro Media France. The main goal is to develop a robust technology enabling real-time localization of mobile targets (like cyclists for instance), at a low energy (more generally low cost). The technology will be demonstrated at real cycling races (Tour de France 2013 and 2014). One of the goals is to include localisation information with new radio technology. Another subject of study is distributed wireless consensus algorithms for maintaining a neighborhood knowledge with a low energy budget that scales (more than 200 cycles together)
