Welcome to DETERMINE |
| Project Abstract:
|
Designing future optical wireless system solutions calls for research and development (R&D) efforts. The DETERMINE project develops concepts, models, algorithms, and architecture for free space communication over the optical spectrum. To this end, the project follows the approach of intensive knowledge exchange and competence integration between the partners of the consortium.
Optical wireless communications systems are expected on rely on a layered structure, and solution integration across layers is highly desirable. Toward this end, DETERMINE is built around combining knowledge and know-how via exchange of expertise from the physical layer, medium access, network optimization, to end applications.
In addition to technological development, DETERMINE contributes to skill acquisition by training early-stage researchers. The knowledge transfer actions are built on a mutual-beneficial basis between the two European partners and the Chinese partner. DETERMINE also implements knowledge exchange with other European efforts in the area. |

| Main Objectives:
|
- Investigation of physical-layer performance; this includes the experimental performance evaluation, channel modelling, and design of physical transmission layer of optical wireless communications;
- Investigation of algorithms and optimisation approaches for link and network layers; this includes link-level protocol, end-to-end routing algorithms, and optimization of topology and resource allocation in a network context of optical wireless communications;
- Design of multimedia applications; this includes adaptive coding schemes, cross-layer coding, and video transmission system design and its performance evaluation in optical wireless communication systems.
