Regional Wireless Network Platform for Context-Aware Services and Its Implementation

Abstract

Nerve Net is a concept of regional wireless access platform where multiple service providers can provide their own services with the shared use of the network and sensors, making various context-aware services practical. It works as the nervous system of the human beings. Densely located, interconnected access points with database and data processing unit will provide mobility to terminals without a location server and will enable secure sensor data transport on a highly reliable, managed mesh network. The motivation, concept, architecture, system configuration, and preliminary performance results of Nerve Net are introduced.
