General statement

SWING aims at supporting the extensive spawning of radio systems thanks to spontaneous, cooperative and self-organization mechanisms which have to offer higher QoS such as system capacity or real-time capabilities under complementary constraints such as security or energy efficiency. Its research fields cover flexible radio node design, agile radio resource sharing, and autonomous wireless networking. These three main research axis are completed by three cross-layer actions that are optimization, security, and prototyping.

As explained in the previous section, these three complementary research axes flexible radio nodes, agile radio resource sharing and autonomous radio networking protocols present strong interactions and have to be considered as interdependent characteristics of a unique objective : finding nodes and network architectures that will make Internet of Things (IoT) a robust and efficient reality.
