MPNets: Des réseaux sans fil multi-fonctions pour une vie plus intelligente – MPNets

While Wireless sensing techniques are under intensive development to enable multiple secondary applications, they do not yet allow networks to push their limits in terms of their primary function: communication. These networks continue to face significant challenges in terms of throughput, latency, quality of service and resource sharing between nodes.

MPNets ("Muli-Purpose Wireless Networks for a Smarter Life") aims at using these advances, which allow to exploit the physical properties of electromagnetic waves when they travel through mediums, to achieve two complementary goals. The first one is to develop new services that are able to improve the life of the end users. The second goal is to exploit, for the first time, this detailed environmental knowledge provided by wireless sensing techniques in order to improve the functionning of networks and iterate infinitely.
MPNets however faces a number of key challenges that we will tackle in this research project by combining knowledge of network operation and related disciplines, and by employing an approach strongly motivated by experimentations under realistic conditions of use.
