Energy-efficient wireless communication for multimedia traffic with QoS constraints . The energy efficiency of wireless communication for multimedia traffic with Quality of Service constraints is another main issue in the Moby Dick project. Currently we are developing an energy-efficient MAC protocol and data link layer that is able to meet both requirements. Key to our approach is a high degree of adaptivity. In coorporation with Nedap N.V. in Groenlo the Netherlands we have developed a wireless ATM communication network based on near field RF coupling.
Cells have the size of a single office room.
A mobile user can use this network for running multi-media applications. Reconfigurable computing In the Chameleon project we claim that a reconfigurable systems architecture in combination with a QoS driven operating system that can deal with the inherent dynamics of a mobile system, is of fundamental importance to the success of flexible low-power handheld systems.
