| Abstract |
The WISQUAS project aims at enabling multimedia services in future wireless networks. On the one hand, wireless bandwidth is a scarce resource. On the other hand, users want terminals to be light and consume minimal power. Within these constraints, a wide variety of multimedia services are desired. Thereto, current wireless systems need to be upgraded to offer:
These goals can only be achieved by focusing the research on new solutions at the physical layer and at the same time meet the QoS requisites of higher layers. To fulfil the above needs, innovative research needs to be performed and demonstrated on the following topics:
WISQUAS aims at playing a key role in providing the enabling technologies for the future wireless multimedia communications, by conceiving excellent fast physical layers, and appropriate higher layers that can bring the best possible performance out of these physical layers to services for the users that meet the needs at minimum power and cost. |
