Abstract

The E2R-II prototyping environment, as part of the E2R-II project, is a framework that pretends to demonstrate the most promising radio resource management proposals that are developed within the project. Such demonstrations have been based on a dedicated proof-of-concept environment, which serves for validating the work in the areas of cognitive networks, reconfigurable terminals, enhanced radio resource and spectrum efficiency, and dynamic and robust reconfigurations. In this framework, this paper presents a real time demonstrator running IP-based applications for the validation of ASM/JRRM algorithms. Such a demonstrator tries to reproduce in a realistic way a B3G heterogeneous radio access network, which considers different RATs (UTRAN, GERAN, WLAN), interfacing a common Core Network. This demonstrator serves for testing the ASM/JRRM strategies that are proposed within the E2R project. In addition, the E2R ASM/JRRM demonstrator incorporates the capacity to evaluate the QoS experienced by the user when using real applications under controlled conditions of the used RAT and the CN.
