Seamless Service Interworking in Heterogeneous Mobile and Ad-Hoc Networks (SESSI)


The goal of the project is to create technological premisses for seamless interworking of services and applications in third generation (3G) cellular networks and in wireless short range networks.

This project applies methods and standards that are already developed when it is possible, and develops new methods and technologies if necessary. The network architectures considered here are 3G networks, independent wireless short range networks such as WLAN and Bluetooth, and heterogeneous networks that expand 3G network with wireless short range networks. The project defines and implements methods for locating services, authenticating, authorizing and managing of sessions in groups and service interworking. This project concentrates in applying technologies defined in 3GPP and Internet standards for different network architectures.
