PROJECT OVERVIEW

PERIMETER’s main objective is to establish the new paradigm of user-centric strategies for advanced networking. User-centricity could achieve seamless mobility enabling mobile users to be “Always Best Connected” in multiple-access multiple-operator networks of the Future Internet.

PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION

PERIMETER will develop and implement protocols designed to cope with increased scale, complexity, mobility and requirements for privacy, security, resilience and transparency of the Future Internet. These include appropriate mechanisms for network selection based on Quality of Experience; innovative implementation of “Distributed A3M” protocols for Fast Authentication, Authorisation and Accounting based on privacy-preserving digital identity models. All these mechanisms will be designed to be independent from the underlying networking technology and service provider, so that fast handovers will be possible.

PERIMETER will also develop and implement middleware that support generic Quality of Experience models, signalling and content adaptation, and exemplary extension applications and services for usercentric seamless mobility. The paradigms of user-centric seamless mobility, middleware components and its integrated applications and services will be tested in two large-scale interconnected testbeds on real users, in three cycles of increasingly complex scenarios. The results will be used for assessment of user centricity. The realisation of user-centric paradigm will revolutionise mobile communications. It will impact seamless mobility, issues of security and privacy, standards and future research, and it will maintain Europe’s leading position in the race to define and develop the network and service infrastructures of the Future Internet.

Project Details

PERIMETER is funded by the EU Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) in ICT area on “New paradigms and experimental facilities”. The PERIMETER project is part of the FIREworks (Future Internet Research and Experimentation) Support action, an initiative with dimensions for Building a European Experimental Facility for Future Internet research, and supporting experimentally-driven advanced research, which defines the challenges for and takes advantage of the dynamically evolving facility.
