Title
Opportunistic networks and cognitive management systems in the service of the future internet: indicative scenarios of coverage and capacity extension
Abstract
In this demonstration proposal we showcase a solution that addresses the main requirements posed by the Future Internet era, such as the expanded use of wireless access and the need for increased efficiency in resource provisioning. We exploit the great potentialities of opportunistic networks, which can be seen as operator-governed, temporary and probably infrastructure-less extensions of the infrastructure-based network, and we combine them with cognitive systems, both for managing the opportunistic networks and for coordinating with the infrastructure, through the use of control channels. This prototype implementation can show the merits of opportunistic networks in terms of enhanced service provision capabilities, higher resource utilization, lower transmission powers, and \"green\" network operation.
