Colloquium: Towards centralized spectrum allocation for multi-channel wireless backhauls, Dr. Senka Hadzic (Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communication Systems (FOKUS), Germany), Tuesday, March 24, 2015, 18:00-19:00 EET.
The Department of Computer Science at the University of Cyprus cordially invites you to the Colloquium entitled:
Towards centralized spectrum allocation for multi-channel wireless backhauls
 |
Speaker: Dr. Senka Hadzic |
Abstract:
With the growing potential of wireless backhaul technologies for outdoor
environments and rising interest in unlicensed bands for broadband delivery,
dynamic channel assignment and improved spectrum utilization is re-emerging
as a research topic. Wireless backhaul deployments provide a solution for
broadband access especially in rural areas, where the lack of sufficient
profitability prevents operators to invest in infrastructure. WiBACK, a
wireless backhaul solution developed at Fraunhofer FOKUS makes use of
heterogeneous multi-radio nodes, forming point-to-point links in order to
extend the broadband coverage. In multi-radio networks, smart channel
assignments are desirable for several reasons. The most common motivation is
to minimize the interference from external networks, but also to improve the
capacity when some links are heavily used, and thereby balance the load over
different channels. This talk will show how the current frequency planning
scheme in WiBACK is planned to be extended.
Finally, the fundamental concepts used in developing WiBACK are
currently being used in SDN. An overview of FOKUS' research directions for
Software defined wireless networks will be presented.
