Future Internet• The eMobility Technology Platform– What is it and what are its activities?

• Future Internet WG in eMobility– Results and plans of the group• The FP 7 Future Internet projects– Many new projects are starting up• The 4WARD IP in FP 7
– The largest FP 7 project on Future Internet• Perspectives on future activities– Plans for 2008

Rationale for investment ineMobility• Mobile & wireless products and services have aneconomic impact greater than the INTERNET• Europe should ride the next wave of wirelessinnovation– Growth in the wireless/mobile sector– Growth in the applications sectors• Public investments around the globe continues togrow rapidly• Mobile services account for about 3% ofEuropean GDP at present in Europe• Job creation – from 4 Million jobs in 2005 to 10
Million in 2010 (Deutsche Bank)

Global developments• WRC meeting provides for new spectrum• Future Internet initiatives coming up to speedon all continents• Fixed-mobile convergence is happening• Broadband in focus in developed markets• 3 billion mobile users worldwide reached(50% of world population)• Continued growth in emerging markets• Connection to the internet will first bethrough a mobile device for most users

eMobility Objectives•••

Drive future technology
developments in mobile and wirelesscommunications that serve Europe's
citizens and the European economy
Enhance cooperation between
industry players, the researchcommunity and public authorities
Mid- to long-term vision (2015+ ) tomaximise the benefit of mobile andwireless communications, thus
enabling economic and social
advances in the EU•

Formulation of an action plan andtime-table for the key developments•

 Objective - To provide a discussion forum for the following
issues: Future Usage of Services Technical Challenges
 Possible regulatory/standardisation impacts
 Mechanisms to ensure maximum impact in Europe
 Past Activities Three Post-IP Working Group meetings held since October2006

Definition
Post-IP ≠IPv7 or IPv8 or IPvxx
Post-IP = Next Generation
Internet protocols andarchitecture

Post-IP Definition
Revolutionary Approach
Sources of Current Internet limitations: Architecture End-to-end paradigm
 Internet Protocols

Post-IP approach: New Architecture with management capability
supporting multi-domain New Wireless-friendly (Energy and spectral
efficiency) Protocols capable of supporting variety
of wireless networks, from very low power sensor
networks to wide area mobile networks

Experimental Researchon Next Generation Internet
 Experimental research topics and research
approach Test-bed requirements, capabilities, and phased
approach to a wide scale European testbed
 Test-bed Framework

Main research topics andapproach Testing and optimisation of integrated solutions leading to: innovative protocols and architectures for Service and Network
 Research Topics:
 Impact of different business models and interfaces on service & networkarchitectures and Interfaces
 Networking framework, protocols and intermittent connectivity
management for wide area transportation and Wireless Sensors, actuators,RFIDs, (objects)
 Full Delay tolerant networking
 Autonomous communications, dynamic networking compositions, its
stability versus degree of autonomous operation
 Dynamic peering and coopetition
 Operating system independency
 Dynamic service/content blocks integration and composition
 Manageability (e.g., traffic engineering)Main research topics
 Self-healing Virtualisation
 Integrated security, privacy, mobility, QoS
 Intelligent resource management
 Testing process and protocols for integrating newmodels/applications/protocols for small businesses
 Minimum protocol stack on radio and role of radio over fibre
in realising this New and flat protocol framework (collapsed stack structure) Semantic networking
 Cognitive networking, stability, degree of decision making onrobustness and stability Community services networking support, interfaces andprotocols for easier and faster development of new services
by the community members

Recommendations forExperimental Facilities
 Provide unconstrained connectivity to experimental facility toaddress challenges in Future Internet design: overall architecture,manageability and governance; Provide dependable Post-IP research and technology development
facilities that enable the set up of experiments at the right scale
under realistic operational conditions; Provide a framework for investigation, prototyping and evaluationthat is neither limited by current technologies nor by the current
Internet architecture and that encompasses any device, content andsystem present in the world that is not directly and naturally part of
the Internet today; Provide effective and efficient test-bed control/management
architecture that guarantees isolation, protection and correct
behaviour under different and extreme conditions

Testbed Features
 Toolbox (new protocols) and interfaces for variety of experiments


Information passing mechanisms between Network protocols and application

 Flexibility to accommodate a variety of different business models and interfaces
 Facilitate protection of IPR to encourage full involvement of all stake holders.
 Flexibility to experiment new protocols, applications, new or minimum protocol stacks
operation and test
 Ability to model and test interaction between network and services
 Tools for analytical/practical models extractions from tests
 Management layer Building blocks to enable bootstrapping Suitability of existing infrastructures such as Geant

Disruptive networking, and means to test protocols for spontaneous networking andintermittent connectivity

 Ability to test integrated and end to end solutions (e.g., mobility and security, andapplication and their adaptability, etc..)

Traffic and load generation

opportunities into the network layer• Defining a systems approach to the FutureInternet• Drive the work from the mobile and wirelessperspective

Future Internet• The eMobility Technology Platform• Future Internet WG in eMobility• The FP 7 Future Internet projects• The 4WARD IP in FP 7
• Perspectives on future activities

Future Activities• European approach will be consolidated througheMobility and European Commission organised
meetings• A wide range of projects and players areparticipating in research• Research projects address evolutionary and cleanslate approaches• Some commercial organisations are favour
evolutionary approaches while others see the mostbenefit in investigating clean slate revolutionary
approaches at this stage of the research• Meetings in Bled (31 March) and Stockholm (ICTMobile Summit, (10-12 June) will provide overview
