Path Selection Engine for Reliable and Available Wireless

Of International (non-EU) scope.

In this project we explore deterministic wireless networking from a network layer perspective, as the internals of the radio chipsets and MAC layer operation cannot be modified, or are strictly dependent on the vendor exposed APIs and configurations. In such scenarios, the end-to-end reliability can be used to extrapolate the performance of the wireless link, as the rest of the network is wired and its reliability levels are several orders of magnitude higher compared to the wireless segment. Thus, we propose to develop the concept of Path Selection Engine, a L3 OAM mechanism and a centralized decision-making entity that will determine which interface/s to use and how to use them in an end-node given strict QoS requirements. The project proposal is fully aligned to the IETF RAW WG, and we expect that the obtained results will be directly contributed to the standardization body.
