IEIIT-BO / CNR & DEIS / Università di Bologna COST 2100 - Background Current Research Trends in Wireless and Mobile Comms. : • human-machine interactions (pervasive mobile comms. ), • ambient-human interactions (ambient wireless comms. ), • cross-layer design (multidisciplinary approaches), • integration of heterogeneous networks B 3 G infrastructure-based networks ad hoc (infrastructure-less) networks digital broadcasting sensor networks … Roberto Verdone

IEIIT-BO / CNR & DEIS / Università di Bologna COST 2100 - Objectives The main objective of the Action is to increase knowledge of mobile and wireless network technologies, by exploring and developing new methods, models, techniques, strategies and tools that will facilitate the implementation of next generation mobile radio communication systems and will foster the development of the paradigms of pervasive and ambient wireless communications. As a secondary objective, it is intended that the Action continues to play a supporting role to the European industry, similar to the one played by the previous Actions in the mobile communications area.
