Exhibitions and Demos

  • Exhibitions will be held on 24/26 June 2014, 09:00-18:00, Foyer Europa and Italia

 

  • Exhibition stand 1: EMPhAtiC

  • Vidar Ringset (SINTEF ICT, Norway)

The demonstration will consist of the FBMC hardware and TETRA terminals. The FBMC system is implemented using two laptop PCs and two USRP hardware platforms. These constitute one transmitter and one receiver. The plan is to transmit the signal over the air. A narrowband signal is generated by means of standard TETRA handsets. The frequency allotment of the TETRA terminal is 25 kHz whereas the broadband system covers a bandwith of 1.05 MHz. The frequencies not used by the TETRA system is used by the broadband system and the demonstration will show that it is possible for these systems to coexist within the same RF frequency band. A spectrum analyser is used to display the frequency content of the signal. In addition a PC will be used to show simulation results. Posters will illustrate the demonstration setup as well as general information about the project.

  • Exhibition stand 6: 5GNOW: Challenging the LTE Design Paradigms of Orthogonality and Synchronicity

  • Dimitri KTENAS (CEA-Leti, France), Ivan Simões Gaspar (TUD, Germany)

The GFDM transceiver demo implemented in FPGA can generate and receive a stream of GFDM blocks with parameterized number of subcarriers (K) and sub-symbols per subcarrier (M). Aspects of the real transmission with antennas in the frequency of 2.4 GHz can be easily accessed through a graphical user interface that allows interaction with the experiment and highlights its main properties in terms of spectrum emission and demodulation steps.

The second demonstrator is a reconfigurable FPGA/ARM digital baseband hardware platform implementing fragmented spectrum processing both at transmit and receive parts using FBMC modulation. The objective is to demonstrate the FBMC built-in filtering feature adapted to spectrum availability in the fragmented case. The proposed receiver architecture based on frequency domain processing combined with the fair frequency localization of the FBMC prototype filter provides an architecture that allows for more efficient multiuser asynchronous reception compared to OFDM. The setup will be composed of two user equipments (transmitters) and one receiver. Real time transmission will be done through RF front ends at 2.7GHz via the National Instrument NI PXIe-1062 equipment.  The application running on top of the physical layer is uplink video conference service and we demonstrate the robustness of FBMC compared to OFDM in the case of timing misalignment between the two user equipments (multi-user asynchronous access). The objective of the demonstration is thus to prove the feasibility of FBMC multiuser access (FBMC-MA) in a multiuser asynchronous environment.

  • Exhibition stand 11: iCore: Empowering IoT with Cognitive Technologies

  • Vera Stavroulaki (University of Piraeus, Greece)

The demo shows how, through the concept of Virtual Objects (VOs), Real World Objects can be semantically enriched to foster their reuse and made to behave more autonomously i.e. generating events, notifications and streaming sensed data which can be tailored to the needs of the applications that use them. Moreover the demo shows how such enriched objects can also be combined dynamically and automatically to achieve more complex functionality which is then maintained to achieve better robustness of the IoT. Besides these object “self-management” aspects, the demo will also show how IoT based applications can be improved with the support of models that are able to reproduce Real World Knowledge and that can adapt to the changing situation they are representing. This is achieved through a set of use-cases, namely smart home, smart meeting, smart transportation, supply chain management and urban surveillance. Finally, the demonstration will feature iCore trial activities focusing on Smart City and Smart Health aspects. The components that will be used for the demonstration include actual devices, sensors and actuators, smartphones, Gateways and software for the various cognitive management entities. Indicatively, Arduino, Waspmote and FlyPort platforms are combined with a variety of sensors (such as luminosity, temperature, humidity, location, heart-rate), actuators (such as Wireless-enabled, over ZigBee, Lights), M2M-enabled FlyPort modules, a (ZigBee-enabled) Gateway as well as various software technologies such as RESTful Web Services and JAVA Servlets, XML,  JSON, RDF, SPARQL, Apache Jena Ontology API, open RDF Sesame API, etc.

  • Kostas Tsagkaris (University of Piraeus, Greece)

This demo shows how, an operator can deploy new services or accommodate new traffic on top of its multi-vendor and multi-technology but SDN-enabled infrastructures. For this purpose, three critical aspects are demonstrated: i) the operator describes his goals and objectives, through high-level means and governs his network, ii) policy-based operation of SDN-enabled segments is achieved and optimized with respect to QoE/QoS efficiency, taking into account metrics and knowledge  derived in network nodes and end-user devices and are inline with the operator objectives and iii) coherence between these segments is achieved through cooperation, negotiation and federation. This demonstration exploits the physical topology of the GÉANT OpenFlow facility and in particular the 5 Points of Presence (PoPs) in Vienna, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Zagreb and London. Consequently, this demonstration is based on a realistic environment for WAN-relevant SDN/OpenFlow experimentation.

  • Exhibition stand 15: METIS DBB key component: FBMC/OQAM-related new waveform

  • Jérémy Nadal (Institut Mines-Telecom/Telecom Bretagne, France)

  • Charbel Abdel Nour (Institut Mines-Telecom/Telecom Bretagne, France)

  • Amer Baghdadi (Institut Mines-Telecom/Telecom Bretagne, France)

  • Hao Lin (Orange Labs, France)

This exhibition proposes to demonstrate a new waveform based on filter bank multicarrier (FBMC) modulation as one of the promising technology components enabling efficient air-interface for several new usage scenarios. This is done through a complete hardware implementation on an FPGA-based digital baseband (DBB) platform of both techniques with similar architectural choices. Novel hardware optimisations are proposed to reduce implementation complexity. Target key-performance indicators (KPIs) include spectrum usage, hardware complexity, latency, and energy efficiency. Being a physical-layer component, it constitutes an enabler to many usage scenarios as it enhances system robustness in several impairment cases: (1) against narrowband interference encountered in an ultra-dense network (UDN) where cellular and device-to-device (D2D) users coexist and perfect synchronization may not be easily ensured and (2) against high Doppler shifts encountered in mobile environments.

Robust and easy to deploy wireless sensor networks for landslides integrated monitoring

We show a wireless sensor network (WSN), designed for landslides monitoring. Data collected by sensors are then delivered to a remote unit for on-line analysis and alerting. The network has been designed and installed on a landslide located in Torgiovannetto (Italy) for an experimental campaign of several months. With negligible human intervention during the pilot experiment, the network revealed a very high level of robustness which makes it suitable to monitor landslides in critical environments.

In addition, one WARP board acts as a router platform which provides an interface to the sensor network. Sensor data can be transferred to the graphical user interface (GUI) via WARP network.

The sensor system consists of environmental sensors performing periodic measurements and simple controls along with a human interface device control loop.

The GUI provides a convenient manner to monitor network events and performance metrics, and it has up-to-date information of the entire network.

 

 

  • Exhibition stand 21: SDN-enabled all-optical and programmable Data Centre Network for low latency server-to-server connectivity

  • Giacomo Bernini (Nextworks s.r.l., Italy)

Demonstrations of data plane technologies, network architecture and the interworking between the data plane and the SDN-based control plane will be performed. More specifically, the data plane technologies to be demonstrated include: a) advanced optical fast (nsec) switches to route traffic flows between DC servers/racks; b) high performance and all-programmable FPGA-based Network Interface cards (NIC) able to directly generate optical circuit/packet traffic, and c) an end-to-end all-optical network testbed able to demonstrate flexible, low-latency, and high-capacity DCN services.  Regarding the integration with the control plane, the communication between the ODL SDN controller and the fast optical switch is implemented through the OpenFlow (OF) protocol; more specifically, the SDN controller is deployed on top of the OF-enabled fast optical switches (with dedicated OF control agents) for switch configuration and monitoring performed through the OF protocol messages. This way, the provisioning and reconfiguration of virtual slices mapped onto the fast optical switches can be performed. It is realized through the proper remote creation and modification of the look-up-table of the switch.  Therefore, an SDN-based control framework for the fast optical switches will be demonstrated.

  • Exhibition stand 25: SDN-based Mobility Management in a Dense Small Cells scenario

  • Luca Cominardi (IMDEA Networks Institute, Spain)

  • Albert Banchs (IMDEA Networks Institute, Spain)

The proposed SDN-based Mobility Management solution uses OpenFlow 1.3 as Southbound API and RYU as Network Controller. The Network Controller it is responsible to store the users’ mobility sessions and to configure properly the anchors. By the access network’s point of view, any OpenFlow-enabled node can play the role of anchor. Unlike classical protocol such as GPT and PMIPv6, our solution does not involve any tunnelling mechanism. This can be done by having an IP-based access network where the internal routing is independently driven by MPLS or 802.1Q VLANs. Our implementation deals only the case where the whole access network is Ethernet-based. The internal routing is thus performed using 802.1Q VLANs. As a use case to show the benefits of our SDN-based solution, the MN run multiple flows and a different anchor is selected for each flow. The anchor selection is based on the characteristics of the flows. Furthermore, we cover the use case of network reconfiguration, namely the case when a branch of the network is switched-off for energy saving purpose. In case of anchors placed in the switched-off branch, that have been already assigned and are still active, we show the anchor reassignment mechanism where new anchors are selected inthe active branch of the network.

 

 

  • Exhibition stand 26: Large contents offloading

  • Farid Benbadis (Thales Communications & Security, France)

Two entities are involved in the demonstration: a MOTO web server and a MOTO mobile application. The former emulates a service running on the Telecom operator side. It chooses a subset of users requiring a content and it sends them the content through the network infrastructure (3g normally, but through the Wi-Fi during the demo to avoid lack of coverage). Users who receive the contents, share it with all the other users through the mobile application. It implements a specific network protocol to disseminate large contents exploiting short duration opportunistic contacts through the Wi-Fi ad hoc technology. Every time a user completely receives a content, the server is notified. It can thus keep track of the content dissemination and eventually injects other copies after a time line.

 

 

  • Exhibition stand 27: OpenIoT: Open Source Internet of Things Services and Applications

  • Martín Serrano (National University of Ireland Galway, Ireland)

The exhibition will be structured based on a main demonstrator of worldwide distributed IoT sensors-enabling the creation of services and a set of satellite demonstrations of various tools facilitating IoT services deployment. The main demonstration (eye-catching) will be based on a visually attracting canvas where the deployed worldwide sensors will be shown, and from there, a selection of those sensors can be used for deploying services. Smart environments will be simulated to showcase the different services can be offered from the registered sensors. As a demonstrator of open space environment, like air monitoring with thousand of sensor distributed to monitoring the conditions of the air in a smart city. Devices and sensor prototypes will be demonstrated. Led lights and the combination of the lights and the flashing effect explain the variations in the conditions of the sensors. These set up corresponds with a real implementation in Zagreb, Croatia, where the monitoring of the air quality by using IoT sensor technology is deployed and currently customising the OpenIoT platform for scientific purposes. People will be attracted by sensor prototypes and the images o the real deployment of the sensors in Zagreb city via an individual screen projection.

The satellite demonstrations will include a wide range of tools, which will on the one hand visualize different parameters of the demonstrators (e.g., the showcases processes), and on the other will illustrate a visual process of designing, developing, configuring and deploying IoT services. The tools are offered as royalty free components of the OpenIoT (http://www.openiot.eu) open source. OpenIoT platform aim itself to be a fingerprint key system for easy adoption and creation of IoT services. Primordially for SME companies, OpenIoT and the sidereal tools will be crucial as per typically proprietary commercial IoT infrastructure for offering solutions is not necessary.
