Summary :

Wireless access networks of the future could provide a variety of context-aware services with the use of sensor information in order to solve regional social problems and improve the quality of residents' lives as a part of the regional infrastructure. NerveNet is a conceptual regional wireless access platform in which multiple service providers provide their own services with shared use of the network and sensors, enabling a range of context-aware services. The platform acts like a human nervous system. Densely located, interconnected access points with databases and data processing units will provide mobility to terminals without a location server and enable secure sensor data transport on a highly reliable, managed mesh network. This paper introduces the motivations, concept, architecture, system configuration, and preliminary performance results of NerveNet.
