Scope of the project
The key strategic objective of this project is to pioneer an integrated RF-LiFi communications and data infrastructure for the diverse passenger and aircraft systems and applications to provide a sustainable platform and outlook for mobile connectivity in aeronautical transport platforms in the next decade and beyond.
Scientific/Technical Solutions
- System design based on the 5G paradigms of SDN and network programmability/softwarisation
- Optimised control of communication flows and system resources
- Search for efficient data paths in SDN programmable 5G networks
- Distributed (Edge) Caching and efficient and resilient multicasting
Planned Contribution from LKN
Adaptive resource management
- Design of architecture and algorithms for SDN/NFV based Resource management for LiFi/WiFi communications in the cabin
- Extension of the algorithms in terms of adaptivity, learning and data oriented optimisation
- Simulative Evaluation
- Prototype realisation for integration into the overall architecture
