• Description: Cars, sensors, home appliances, every device in the daily life of citizens is becoming a constituent in Future Internet, adding to the need to reconsider requirements and
assumptions in terms of network availability and affordability to support the ever increasing
traffic demand. Still, the current Internet can only evolve adequately, if its infrastructure
can be devised to accommodate the emerging services. Our goal is to make the Future Internet universally pervasive supporting a diverse set of services. To achieve this, we develop
a universal mobile-centric and opportunistic communications architecture, which integrates
the principles of Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) and Information Centric Networking
(ICN) in a common framework. We utilize the benefits of both ICN and DTN to enable
resource exploitation at minimal bandwidth, opportunistic access to information and more
localized access to information through novel caching strategies. By relying on an instance
of the UMOBILE architecture, users are able to share information directly with other peers
without relying on infrastructure or expensive connectivity services. The proposed architecture targets the mobile part of the networks, extends Internet connectivity to regions that
are not typically covered enhancing network resilience and is fully backward compatible with
the current Internet architecture.

• Description: The flexibility inherent to wireless technologies is giving rise to new types of
access networks and allowing the Internet to expand in a user-centric way. This is particularly
relevant if one considers that wireless technologies such as Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) currently
complement Internet access broadband technologies, forming the last hop to the end-user.
This fact becomes even more significant due to the dense deployment of Wi-Fi Access Points
that is nowadays common in urban environments. Due to such density, a relevant aspect
that can be worked upon is leveraging such “wireless local-loop” by developing networking
mechanisms that allow adequate resource management and a future Internet architecture
to scale in an autonomic way. Such wireless local-loop could then reach rates closer to the
ones provided by current broadband access technologies. This is the underlying idea of
ULOOP, which shall provide software functionality to sustain a user-centric robust, secure,
and autonomic network growth. ULOOP objectives are two-fold. Firstly, to develop and
to validate identified core mechanisms that aid in the development of user-centric robust,
trustworthy, low-cost, and indirectly energy-efficient wireless local-loops. Secondly, to bring
awareness to the topic of user-centric networking from a standardization and legislation
perspective.

A.1.3) WiNeMo: Wireless Networking for Moving Objects
• Duration: 2010 - 2014
• Funding: € 360,000.00
• Partners: from 29 countries
• Researchers at University Lusofona: Paulo Mendes (Coordinator at COPELABS); Rute
Sofia, Waldir Moreira, Tauseef Jamal.
• Description: The Internet of the Future will incorporate a large number of autonomous
wireless objects moving with diverse patterns and speeds while communicating via several
radio interfaces. Examples of such objects may include humans, cars or unmanned aerial
vehicles, with every object acting as a networking device generating, relaying and/or absorbing data. Achieving the Internet of the Future, will require global interoperability amongst
objects/devices, not typically commonplace due to inherent features of today’s Internet. To
overcome current shortcomings, a number of research challenges have to be addressed in the
area of networking, including protocol engineering, development of applications and services,
as well as realistic use-cases. The Action will increase the knowledge and coordinate research
efforts of national and international projects in the area of Wireless Networking for Moving
Objects (WiNeMO). Its activity will foster wide dissemination of research results, serving as
an internationally recognized reference point. This will be achieved through capacity building of WiNeMO stakeholders offering appropriate networking opportunities to Early Stage
Researchers. Results will also be demonstrated through joint living labs and showcases for
researchers, decision makers and public exhibitions.

A.2) Industrial Projects
A.2.1) UcMC: User-Centric Mobile Core
• Duration: 2010 - 2011
• Funding: € 103,000.00
• Partners: University Lusofona; Huawei Germany (Funding Party)
• Researchers at University Lusofona: Rute Sofia (Coordinator), Paulo Mendes, Bruno Batista
• Description: The Internet has grown to be a key component of the day-to-day routine in our
society. Restricting the use of the Internet to places such as home and office has become a
major obstacle to fulfilling the promise of a ubiquitous Internet. The concept of an alwayson high-data rate Internet connectivity from mobile handsets introduces the possibility to
consider new business models. However, technology around still limits the growth of such
models. Such limitations may be mitigated with cooperation between the access network and
end-user devices. Central to these aspects is the need to consider single sign-on low-cost,
energy-efficient mechanisms capable of supporting, from an access perspective the highly
nomadic lifestyle that mobile users today exhibit.

A.3) Portuguese Science Foundation
A.3.1) SAPRA: Session-aware Popularity-based Resource Allocation
• Duration: 1998 - 2003
• Funding: € 276,910.00
• Partner: University of Coimbra
• Researchers: Edmundo Monteiro (Coordinator), Paulo Mendes, Tiago Sousa, Marilia Curado, Vasco Pereira, Augusto Neto, Eduardo Cerqueira, Luís Veloso, Anderson Rissato.
• Description: This project is based on my PhD thesis, which proposed a signaling protocol
called Session-Aware Popularity-based Resource Allocation (SAPRA), which allows the management of streaming services for large audiences. SAPRA fairly allocates shared resources
in class-based networks, by assigning more resources to streams with larger audiences. In
addition, SAPRA punishes streams that induce congestion by using more than their fair
share of resources. With SAPRA, it is not intended to develop an optimal fairness protocol,
because social and economic issues can influence fairness as much as technical ones. However,
SAPRA can serve as the basis of a fairness architecture, because SAPRA has three major
advantages: first, it encourages the deployment of quality adaptation mechanisms by ensuring a fair distribution of resources. Secondly, it encourages the use of multicast by allowing
users to get a better quality when joining multicast sessions instead, of unicast ones. Third,
it encourages the deployment of multicast by allowing network providers to reach a larger
number of clients, using fewer shared resources and without having to provide services with
strict quality guarantees.

• Partners: University Lusofona; University of Coimbra
• Researchers at University Lusofona: Paulo Mendes (Coordinator), Rute Sofia, Waldir Moreira.
• Description: The characteristics of user-provided networks require two basic properties:
robustness from an end-to-end perspective, and intermittent connectivity support as such
the User-Centric Routing project consider recent trends in wireless communications that
will be used to develop novel routing metrics, algorithms and protocols for scenarios where
information routing and relaying may be provided by end-user devices, and where networking
nodes are essentially characterized by having restricted resources and a highly nomadic
behaviour.

A.3.3) Design and Performance of Wireless Cooperative Relaying
• Duration: 2009 - 2014
• Funding: € 47,040.00
• Partner: University Lusofona
• Researchers: Paulo Mendes (Coordinator), Tauseef Jamal.
• Description: This project aims at contributing to the field of cooperative wireless networks.
The focus of this research is on the relay-based Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol.
Specifically, I provide a framework for cooperative relaying called RelaySpot which comprises on opportunistic relay selection, cooperative relay scheduling and relay switching.
RelaySpot-based solutions are expected to minimize signaling exchange, remove estimation

increasing reliability.
A.3.4) Social-aware Opportunistic Routing
• Duration: 2009 - 2014
• Funding: € 47,040.00
• Partner: University Lusofona
• Researchers: Paulo Mendes (Coordinator), Waldir Moreira.
• Description: This project combines the features of today’s devices found in the regular urban
environment with the current social-awareness trend in the context of opportunistic routing.
To achieve this goal, this work was divided into different tasks that map to a set of specific
objectives, leading to the following contributions: i) an up-to-date opportunistic routing
taxonomy; ii) a universal evaluation framework that aids in devising and testing new routing
proposals; iii) three social-aware utility functions that consider the dynamic user behavior
and can be easily incorporated to other routing proposals; iv) two opportunistic routing
proposals based on the users’ daily routines and on the content traversing the network and
interest of users in such content; and v) a structure analysis of the social-based network
formed based on the approaches devised in this work.

• Description: The major objective of the ReCoop project is to develop a novel communications solution that enables Internet users to cooperate with other users, in order to improve
the broadband Wi-Fi experience, resulting in the development of a new communications box,
named OpenBOX, that will be installed at the users’ homes. The OpenBOX will enable (1)
cooperative Internet access sharing, (2) seamless mobility within the ReCoop cooperative
network, similarly to what happens within a mobile operator network, (3) secure communications via visited networks, (4) secure access to home network via visited networks. For
that purpose, the following scientific and technological components are considered in the
project mobility, security, resource management, auto-configuration and cooperation models
