Project Title: DIWINE: Dense Cooperative Wireless Cloud Network
Project Objective: The project will solve the problem of wireless communications in densely interfering ad hoc networks, by using paradigm of virtual relay based self-contained wireless cloud with simple and uniform interface to terminals.
Project Duration and Timing: 36 months, January 2013 to December 2015
Project Funding: €2.633m
