Facts Title: Connectivity management for enerRgy
Optimised Wireless Dense networks (CROWD) Call identifier: FP7-ICT-2011-8 Grant number: 318115 Start: 1/1/13 End: 30/6/15 (duration 30 months) Total cost: 4,460 k€ Total funding: 2,978 k€ Total effort: 443 PM

Motivation Number of wireless users increasing rapidly
Load doubles every year Current demand is barely supported by existing
infrastructure The solution necessarily entails the deployment of
more points of access Higher density of points of access Different wireless technologies (heterogeneous deployment)
Current available solutions to handle density are not sufficient Most existing solutions take local PHY restricted view Higher layer mechanisms are required for optimal operation
Wireless dense networking can potentially lead to wireless chaos and huge energy waste
5
Motivation To avoid the implosion of wireless capacity due to increased
density we need: New mechanisms for wireless devices coordination and cooperation Higher layer algorithms to control and configure network behavior
6
Main objectives Density-proportional capacity
Throughput scales (almost) linearly with cell density Traffic-proportional energy consumption
Power consumption reduced by up to ~70% Mobile user’s QoE
Significantly lower handover blocking probability and end-to-end delay variation experienced by mobile users (compared to a scenario without inter-cell and inter-technology mechanisms)
Significant reduction of the backhaul load (compared to a scenario with static backhaul configuration)
Validation and demonstration Deployment and successful operation of a test-bed composed of
several LTE and WLAN stations together within a dense deployment of base stations and access points
Dissemination and exploitation High-quality publications in peer-reviewed journal and conferences Contribution to standardisation

Concrete project results1. New solutions for connectivity management
benefiting (rather than suffering) high density in deployments.
2. Novel heuristic approximation algorithms exploiting regional-level information for energy efficient operation.
3. Enhancements at MAC layer for IEEE 802.11 and LTE that use density “as a resource” and exploit it through intra- and inter-technology coordination.
4. Dynamic backhaul reconfiguration strategies that achieve such a consumption that is near proportional to traffic demands.
5. An integrated testbed suitable to validate all the other project results under realistic conditions.
