Summary on Grant Application Form |

The main purpose of the Programmable Ad hoc Networks (PAN) project is to consider programmable ad-hoc networks as an important emerging type of network infrastructure that will complement 3G+ and fixed network infrastructures. PAN will investigate solutions for a Quality of Service (QoS) framework, context-aware QoS support and a middleware-based programmable infrastructure that will allow terminodes to download and activate required protocol and service software dynamically.Quality of service is an area that has not yet been fully addressed in ad hoc networks and it is particularly important for critical applications in the ad hoc environment but also of paramount importance when 3G+ multimedia services are accessed from ad hoc ternminodes. QoS could be improved through context-awareness that will combine location information from a location service with connectivity, user input, QoS requirements, and possibly information from other terminodes. Programmability will enable terminodes to align themselves with the network-wide QoS framework and the application-level context-ware QoS support services. The proposed framework for ad hoc terminode programmability will be general enough to support downloading and activation of any required protocols and services in an ad hoc environment.
