Title
Ultimate Technologies for Wireless Networking for Moving Objects: a perspective for Future Internet and Smart Cities.
Abstract
The future of the Internet requires the adoption of a radically innovative approach consisting of large-scale converged networks, that are capable of interconnecting a huge number of Moving Objects (MOs) that range from cars, drones, boats and cyber-physical devices to the widely-used personal mobile devices (smartphones, smart watches, body sensors, etc.). In this scenario, the Wireless Networking for Moving Objects (WiNeMO) is attaining considerable renown since it offers the prospect of an innovative infrastructure that envisages maximizing Internet use in different ways and new patterns of behavior. A differentiated service infrastructure plays a key role in WiNeMO systems considering Smart Cities, since it requires the Internet of the Future to evolve towards a new performance-enhanced architecture embedding advanced networking services and providing them with greater agility, scalability, and reliability. It is essential for the service infrastructure to embody appropriate capabilities in the control plane to keep the MOs always best connected and best served while they are roaming across different networks, so as to guaranteeing appropriate level of Quality of Service (QoS) in the network service transport. This seminar, will discuss about WiNeMO systems in the scope of Smart Cities, including in this discussion aspects with regard to emerging technologies currently, under investigation by the research and industry community, which are exploited to deploy high-level Future Internet and 5G architectures. The seminar predicts the prospect to provide a global view in advanced mechanisms to achieve efficient and optimal usage of large-scale QoS-guaranteed WiNeMO systems considering sub-standard capacities shown by typical approaches.
