COST2100 - Background


Current Research Trends in Wireless and Mobile Comms.:

• human-machine interactions (pervasive mobile comms.),

• ambient-human interactions (ambient wireless comms.),

• cross-layer design (multidisciplinary approaches),

• integration of heterogeneous networksB3G infrastructure-based networksad hoc (infrastructure-less) networksdigital broadcastingsensor networks …

Roberto Verdone

COST2100 - Objectives


The main objective of the Action is to

increase knowledge of mobile and wireless network technologies,

by exploring and developing new methods, models, techniques, strategies and tools that will facilitate the implementation of

next generation mobile radio communication systems

and will foster the development of the

paradigms of pervasive and ambient wireless communications.

As a secondary objective, it is intended that the Action continues to play a supporting role to the European industry, similar to the one played by the previous Actions in the mobile communications area.

COST2100 - Technical Activities - WG1


This WG deals with transmission and signal processing techniques

for air-interface technologies, mainly related to the physical layer of systems.

• Gigabit wireless transmission;

• Reduced complexity detection techniques;

• Multicarrier based techniques, including OFDM/MC-CDMA;

• Interference management and suppression techniques;

•Modulation and FEC coding schemes;

•Adaptive air-interface techniques for use in cognitive radio systems;

• Turbo-processing (i.e., iterative) techniques;

• Network coding

• UWB
